In a comparison of 17 everyday items, a CBC Marketplace investigation has found prices at Dollar Tree were the same or higher in a price-per-unit analysis than at Dollarama or even Walmart, meaning Canadians may not always be getting the deal they think they are when shopping at popular dollar store chains.
“As the name says, everything here seems to be a dollar more or less. Right? Even though it’s not,” said Markus Giesler, a professor at the Schulich School of Business at York University.
