If you're a seasoned Canadian thrifter, you've probably visited Value Village several times and spotted a Dollarama item or two on the shelves.
The secondhand chain has 300+ stores in the U.S. and Canada, and for years, Canadians have found some great deals there. But lately, things aren't looking as good as they once were. In recent years, hundreds of shoppers have taken to the internet to discuss bizarre, gross, or overpriced items being sold at Value Village and share photos of their finds.Thrifters have created online communities, both local and national, on social media platforms to air their grievances. One such community is the 10,000-member Facebook group Value Village Ripoffs and Obscene Price Hikes.
A running theme across this Value Village group and many similar ones is shoppers finding used Dollarama items priced higher than new ones. The items often still have the Dollarama price tag, making things look even worse.Sadly, this wasn't even the worst part of Dulay's visit. She also located a non-Dollarama onion chopper with onions still inside it. We'll spare you the visual in this post, but you can see itphotos of a skincare product originally sold at Dollarama for $4.
"It's fast-paced. I've missed stuff too, especially when the sticker like this is in a place you don't expect it. It happens; we're human," heHe added that he and his friend play a game where the person who finds a Value Village item with a Dollarama sticker still on it wins.
