I always go to Dollarama before I go to Canadian Tire. I swear, you can find pretty good deals at Dollarama, even better than Value Village. Value Village was better before it was sold or bought out. I'm now sure which it was. The current owners are treating like a business where they are out to make money. I once bought a 15" monitor from them for around $15 or $20. Don't remember which. Monitor works great and sits on a shelf that is beside my workroom table and is connected to a Raspberry Pi. I no longer support VV. It is actually easier for me to get to one of two Dollarama stores which are each a short walk from home.

Personally I buy from here: https://login.aliexpress.com

It is cheap, effective and the one time in 100 times I did not receive my shipment, I received a full credit AND the shipment.

I have not used this when in .ca but I see no reason why it would be different? maybe you guys, gals and others can enlighten me :)

I have bought from AliExpress before and I have normally been happy with them. When things went wrong (ie: they sent me the wrong parts, NOT what I ordered), I got a full refund, no problem there. I do like the low prices from AliExpress. The issue with AliExpress is they can take weeks to get stuff to me, while I can get stuff like the sound system noted above home from a nearby Dollarama in under an hour. In other words there is a time and a place from both AliExpress and Dollarama.
