The last time I was at Dollarama I was looking at all the plastic toys and convenience items. I can’t remember exactly what it was that made me go, “this is what we’re destroying the planet for??” But it sure applies to a lot of stuff there.
I always buy stuff used, not just because it’s cheaper, but also because I don’t want to contribute to the waste we create. I’ve only ever purchased one piece of furniture new; my bed frame because I was sick of mattress-on-the-flooring it after breaking up with an ex.
So why were you at Dollarama?
Snacks. I find that used snacks aren’t that tasty.
Also, things like markers and whatever that would be pointless to buy used.
I’m talking more like clothes, furniture, and electronics when I’m talking about buying used.
It’s more stuff like plastic “doggie bag dispensers” that fill we with dismay. Like really? We can’t just stuff a couple in our pockets before a walk?
I laughed at this.
