Dollar Stores...............

Not sure about where you live, but when I go to the dollar store, there is very little in the store that actually only costs a dollar?  I go to two main chains of dollar stores, Dollarama which is a Canadian chain and Dollar Tree which is US chain.  Dollar Tree, I think things are either $1.50 or $1.75 each.  However many, many things are much higher.

In Dollarama, their prices are all over the place.  I picked up a 2 package of Command Hooks for $4.25 the other day.  A loaf of bread for $2.  The name brand cleaning products can be $3+.  Now granted it's still generally cheaper than the regular stores, but gone are the days of everything being a dollar.

In Canada the food sold in the dollar stores are all shelf stable foods, whereas in the States, they sell frozen foods also.  I do find it interesting how many videos there are out there of people cooking full meals only using food purchased from the dollar stores, like the one below.

Do you shop at dollar stores?  Have you found their prices increasing?
