Recently, we did a comparison of which major grocery chains were the most economical<\/a>. Walmart came out on top, with the cheapest grocery bill!<\/p>\n

With the growing popularity of Dollarama stores<\/a> for groceries and food, we wanted to analyze the price difference between the two.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What kind of company is Dollarama?” google_fonts=”” el_id=”what_kind_of_company_is_dollarama_”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Dollarama is a dollar store-style retailer founded in Montreal in 1910. The company has over 1,525 stores in Canada, mostly in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Quebec.<\/p>\n

Dollarama customers are mainly attracted by the store’s low prices and wide range of products. Every store is different. Items for the home, groceries, toys, kitchen tools, etc. change with the seasons and regions. It’s almost a surprise every time you visit!<\/p>\n

Consumers can buy in-store or online. Recently, they began a partnership with the AIR MILES loyalty program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this research, we used a grocery basket with 42 products found at both retailers, comapring the same brands for each product. Prices were collected in person on September 23 and 24, 2023 at Walmart Supercentre<\/a> and three Dollarama stores in Rosem\u00e8re and Sainte-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that food products vary greatly between Dollarama stores, even when they’re located in the same city. In addition, there are smaller formats or quantities that may not be equivalent at Walmart and Dollarama. The price per 100 grams or per 100 ml has therefore been used in the table below.<\/p>\n

As always, shoppers need to look at best-before dates and the provenance of the food they are buying.<\/p>\n
