If you don’t shop at Dollarama all the time, you might not realize that there’s a grocery section.
That means you can get cheap groceries and household essentials at the discount retailer.
It’s not just home decor, organizers, craft supplies, toys, and more products for around the house.
You can actually do most of your grocery shopping at Dollarama since the retailer offers pretty much everything except for fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy.
Especially if you’re only shopping for yourself, grocery products at the discount retailer are smaller so it might make more sense to get them at Dollarama rather than Costco which has bulk-sized items.
So, here are 14 grocery items you can buy at Dollarama for cheap.
Tea
This 113-gram box of Tetley orange pekoe tea comes with 36 tea bags and costs $2.50.
That’s 2.21 per 100 grams or $0.06 per tea bag.
Coffee
You can get name-brand instant coffee like Nescafe or a lesser-known brand like Sunrise Coffee at Dollarama.
It costs $1.25 for a 50-gram jar of Sunrise Coffee and $2.75 for a 50-gram canister of Nescafe instant coffee.
Pop
You probably know you can get pop at Dollarama but not just individual bottles of pop are available. You can get cases too — specifically Pepsi, 7 Up and Crush.
It costs $3 for a six-pack of mini cans that are 222 millilitres each.
That breaks down to $0.5 per can and $0.22 per 100 millilitres!
Cereal
Dollarama has all kinds of cereal available, including boxes and single-serve cups.
This 230-gram box of Froot Loops costs $3 which works out to $1.30 per 100 grams.
Cookies
So many snacks are available at Dollarama, including full-sized packs of name-brand cookies just like at grocery stores.
You can get packs of Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies for just $3.25.
Maple syrup
Dollarama is Canadian so of course you can get jars of maple syrup at stores.
It costs $2.75 for a 250-millilitre jar of Steve’s maple syrup — plus, it’s sugar-free.
Compared to a one-litre jar of maple syrup at Costco which costs $15.99 or $1.59 per 100 millilitres, this Dollarama product only costs $1.10 per 100 millitres.
Oatmeal
You can get a 314-gram box of Quaker instant oatmeal which comes with eight packets for $3 at Dollarama.
That’s a cost breakdown of $0.95 per 100 grams and $0.37 per packet.
Pasta
Dollarama has quite a few pasta choices, including these name-brand Italpasta products.
It costs $1.25 for a 450-gram back of spaghettini — an incredibly cheap price beak down of $0.27 per 100 grams.
Pasta sauce
You can get a 680-millilitre can of Hunt’s tomato sauce for just $2.25 at Dollarama which breaks down to a cost of $0.33 per 100 millilitres.
Kraft Dinner
A 200-gram box of Kraft Dinner at Dollarama is $1.50 — just $0.75 per 100 grams.
If you don’t eat Kraft Dinner all the time, buying a single box at Dollarama for this price makes sense.
But when it comes to buying in bulk, it’s actually cheaper at Costco and Walmart — $15.99 for a 12-pack of 340-gram boxes ($0.39 per 100 grams) and $9.97 for a 12-pack of 200-gram boxes ($0.41 per 100 grams), respectively.
Instant noodles
Bowlfull instant noodles at Dollarama are so cheap.
You can get three 85-gram packs for just $1 which works out to $0.33 per pack and $0.39 per 100 grams.
Laundry detergent
Dollarama has smaller-sized household products like this laundry detergent that costs $5 for a 680-millilitre bottle.
That means you pay $0.73 per 100 millilitres of detergent.
Dish soap
You can get a 793-millilitre bottle of Palmolive dish soap or $2.75 at Dollarama which breaks down to just $0.34 per 100 millilitres.
Shampoo and conditioner
Dollarama has name-brand shampoo and conditioner, including Herbal Essences.
