Savvy shoppers know they can save big on a loaf of bread at Dollarama. But at more than a dozen of the Quebec-based company’s stores in Nova Scotia, there’s no bread on the shelves. Those stores have one thing in common: there’s a Sobeys nearby. Mary Wilson went shopping at Dollarama’s Cole Harbour location last […]

I honestly can’t shop at them, the deals are mostly terrible, and quite frankly I’m betting that half the product isn’t even legal.
Ever tried to buy a plate or cup there?
Read the labels carefully, they mostly say that they’re “decorative” and not to be used for food
Yes this is true. But what do you think is the reason? Like is it because there’s heavy metals in the dye, so the plate is kinda toxic? Or maybe because it’s just too fragile, chips easily, etc?
As the consumer I don’t know what regulatory loopholes they are exploiting when they state “decorative use”. I doubt the average consumer has the time to do this research. Because a plate is a plate and people will use it to put food on when it’s sold in that way, the intended usage is obvious regardless of the tiny disclaimer.
The dye isn’t food rated, nor is the glass.
Yes mostly heavy metals for the glass items.
For the plastic items it’s mostly leaking plastic and estrogen into your food.
PSUEDO estrogens, which are also just plastics.
No plastics manufacturers are harvesting estrogen from women and infusing their goods with it.
My bad, but the point still stands, even with a minor correction
Let’s be real, in this case we’re talking about Sobey’s, not a Mom n’ Pop grocery store. This is a company making record profits and a significant driver of inflation, they’re not going to shut down because Dollarama is selling bread.

Walmarts and Sobeys are the reason local grocery stores hardly exist anymore.

Hmm, there’s some stuff I’ve seen in dollar stores that could be used to make a healthy meal, like canned vegetables. Do they ever sell milk?
