This week I’ve spent something like $1500 at Ikea, and we really only have half the furniture we need. I also spent $75 at Dollarama, which is even more crazy when you think about it because that means I bought almost 70 items from the dollar store!

When I moved to Seattle, I would hit Ikea for furniture and Walmart for household items. Walmart isn’t as useful now, mostly because it’s just so busy, and I find I can get stuff for even cheaper at Dollarama! I don’t know how people were able to afford moving out back in the old days, they probably had to pay $10 soap dishes at Eaton’s!
