Hey guys! Just wanted to do a quick intro for this video for you.
I've got a lot of videos that I filmed in May, and it's taken me longer to get them
up on the channel than I'd like, seeing that it's now almost mid-June.
So I have decided that, to speed things up a little bit, I'm gonna mash the two Dollarama
hauls that I did last month together into one video, so I can get that out to you faster
than having to do two separate videos, and upload them separately, and all that stuff.
In part because I did a really fun haul from Dollarama yesterday, so I'd like to get that
out to you, but I'm kinda anal and I wanna put them out in like, semi-date order, so...
This video is just two separate hauls that I did in May, mashed together in one video.
And then I will see you with a, hopefully more current haul, sooner than later?
So enjoy!
Thanks :-)
[Haul Number 1]
This video is mostly to blame on other YouTubers who do Dollarama hauls, because most of what
I picked in this haul was stuff I had seen other YouTubers hauling.
I actually went in for one, possibly two, things.
One was this right here, this white foam core, that I got to have sort of a brighter, cleaner
filming surface.
I'm still not in love with my lighting situation, I've made it a bit better, but I'm still not loving it.
But I like that you don't have to look at my kitchen counter anymore.
You can look-- well, I don't think I've made a video with my kitchen counter visible, but...
you don't have to look at it now! You can look at this lovely, clean, white foam core.
The one thing I picked up, other than the foam core, that wasn't the fault of YouTubers,
was this K & Company "Smash"... they're just like little sticky notes, that say,
"I Will Make This"; "Makes Me Happy"; Too Good... To Be True!";
"I (blank) it a lot!", and then "Like, Love, Want Need"; "I Wish I Had Come Up With That!";
"Do Not Forget. Seriously, don't you forget!"; and "Someday...".
I saw them when I was in Walmart-- err, Walmart? *Dollarama*, last time, and I liked them, but I put them back.
And then I decided, "Screw it, I'm gonna get 'em!"
So then these were my first impulse buy due to seeing it on YouTube: these letter stickers
that have, like, a woodgrain on them.
I had seen them before, and I didn't really want them at the time, and then I saw a YouTuber
haul them, and all of a sudden I had an idea of what to do with them, so I picked them up this time.
They were $1.25, just like the post-it notes.
I believe the foam core was $1.50 each...
I should have said that earlier.
Next up were these adorable sock monkey stickers.
They're neon for the most part, but they're really cute.
Again, I saw somebody haul these, and I was like, "Oh, those are really cute, why can't I find them?"
That was because I didn't find the other half of the sticker stash at Dollarama.
Half of it is in the - at least at the Dollarama near me - half of it is in the crafting section,
the other half is in the kids' section.
This was in the kids' section, so I grabbed these, they were $1.00.
And then finally I got these Disney "Tsum Tsum" stickers - and yes, I did have to look
that up, how you pronounce that, it's apparently pronounced, "soom soom".
I saw somebody haul these; they actually, I think the person I saw haul them got one
of every style, and there were like 4 or 5 different styles - there was the book, there
was the foil, there was an epoxy, there was a box of stickers - I just got these two.
I got this one - both these sets were $1.25 - this is a book of 6 sheets.
In hindsight I should have picked up the other book; this was the last one of the 6-sheet,
and there was one with 8 sheets, and it had the exact same character stickers in it, but
it also had two, um... they called them "scenes".
I don't know if that's a Tsum Tsum thing and I just don't understand it,
but I was like, "Well I don't need these, so I'll get this."
Now, why I didn't get the bigger pack, which was the exact same price, I don't know.
But I should have, because this is looking a little dirty and beat up, which should have
been my first sign.
So when I opened it up when I got home, you can see I am missing a sticker...
I believe it's the Donald Duck sticker, so it's not a huge deal to me, but... yeah, that
was kind of a bummer, but it's the only sticker that's missing.
So there's these... some of these are really freaking cute.
I had known about the Tsum Tsum stuff, but I hadn't really paid attention to it much,
because I'm not a big Disney collector, but when I saw these stickers in whomever's haul
it was that I saw, I thought they were really freaking cute.
So I decided that if I saw them, I'd pick them up, and I saw them, so I picked them up.
Only problem is, some of these are from movies that I haven't seen...
most of them are from movies I've seen, but... like I've never seen "Frozen"...
I know, blasphemy... so I mean I know what some of the characters are...
And these are just foil stickers of the characters...
I'll see if I can zoom in a little bit for ya...
Yeah, these are just cute little foil stickers... there's 62 in that one, and there's 103 stickers in this one.
So again for $1.25 each, got lots of stickers.
So that was it for the Dollarama haul, it wasn't too large, cuz I had gone in there
for one, possibly two things, and I came out with...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 6 things.
So I blame YouTubers for this [laughs], but that's okay because now I'm becoming one. So there's that.
[Haul Number 2]
Once again, I popped into Dollarama to pick up one or two things, and of course I didn't
just pick up one or two things because... evidently that's what happens when I go to Dollarama.
One of the things I popped in to get was two more of these Voltax adjustable desk lights.
You can see there, they're $4.00 each.
I have two already, and that's what I'm using to light-- you can see the reflection, I'm
using them to light this video.
But I find the lighting's kinda blotchy, like there's a lot of shadows in the corners and
stuff, sometimes it's harder to get good lighting in videos.
I don't know if the videos are going to go up in the order in which I film them, so you
may notice that videos that went up before this are better lit than this video is, because
I would have filmed with all four lights.
So if the lighting is like, inconsistent in my first handful of videos, that's why.
But yeah, these are four bucks each, they have just a tap on, they have three settings:
bright, brighter and brightest, and then off.
They take 3 AAA-- no, AA batteries, sorry. Three AA batteries each.
They're actually really bright. Like I said, if I hold this up, you can see the reflection from... there's one there...
one there... from the two lights I'm using to light this video.
And so... yeah, I'm hoping that adding two more will make it nice and bright and it won't
be so weird and blotchy.
The other item that I went into Dollarama for today were these self-laminating sheets.
Sorry if the lighting's changed, I kinda had to lower them a bit because it's really blowing
this out [laughs], cuz it's white and it's reflective.
It's supposedly reusable self-laminating sheets, they were $2.50 each, there's three in a pack,
which is a little bit disappointing, that there's only three.
But I picked them up because I'm currently making a sticker binder to organize all of
my stickers that I have for my journalling, based on various organizational systems that
I've seen videos for on YouTube.
And a lot of people have used like, cardstock, and they laminate it and they put it in a
page protector, and they washi tape stuff on, or glue stuff on, or whatever.
And I'll do a video about my organization system when I'm finished it, but... basically,
because I don't have a lot of money, I've been using packing tape as like, a poor man's lamination.
Because it works just as well... it takes longer, and it's kind of annoying, but it's
the same sort of thing, where you can tape stuff on, and then pull it off when you need it, and stuff like that.
So I've been doing that, but I went through the packing tape I already had, and then I
ordered two rolls on Amazon, and they ended up being wider rolls.
I had like, the little ones that you get at, like, um... well, here:
I bought one of these. This is the size I already had at home.
It wasn't this brand, the Elmer's brand, that was $1.50 at Dollarama, but it was like this,
where it's like, the small little one, and it's got, you know... a pretty good amount of tape.
And I already had one that was mostly full, and I used that up.
So then when I ordered the binder that I'm using for the stickers, I also ordered two
rolls of Scotch tape, and it was like the big packing tape, that's like twice this width.
So I was thinking, "There's plenty there, that's good", right?
Well, I'm almost finished the first roll, and I'm nowhere near being done.
So it's not quite working the way I thought it would.
So I thought I'll pick up some of these to try them; so I got two packs of these.
Next up, I ended up in the Canada Day decor section-- well, not necessarily decor, just... Canada Day "stuff", section.
They already had a smaller section that I had been in, in like the stationery-type area,
and it didn't really do anything for me.
But I'd seen people hauling, like... cute Canada Day stuff, and I was like, "Well where
are they putting that?"
I ended up finding it, it was in like the camping, outdoorsy-type section, for some reason?
So I got this Canada hat, which was $2.50.
It's not a great quality hat, but it's a hat.
And I've actually been wanting to get a white baseball hat, because the only baseball hat
I have that I wear is black.
And when it's super-hot and sunny out, a black hat's not a great idea.
So I've been wanting to get a white hat, I'm not really a hat wearer, I have it solely
for sun protection, so I figured, two and a half bucks, Canada... if it's not great
quality, it was two and a half bucks.
And then I got this beauty, which I saw Sandra's Hauls hauling a little while ago, and I just
thought it was so cute, and I was so bummed that I couldn't find it, I hadn't seen it, and I found it today.
It's a little notebook, with a hoodie for the cover, like there's the... and it's just, I think it's so cute.
And it's even cute in the packaging, like I almost don't want to take it out of the packaging.
It's just so ridiculously cute... and there's just black on the back.
It's this little Canada hoodie, it's so cute.
They have a grey one, too, and I've been really torn.
It's $3.00, I almost bought both, I might still go back and buy one, I don't know [laughs].
And then of course, you know I couldn't leave without looking in the sticker section, because...
that's what I do when I go in there.
They had these, which I didn't see last time.
I didn't think Dollarama rotated their stock out that often, but I've been back once a
week for the last three weeks, just cuz I keep needing stuff.
And they had these 3D paper stickers... well, they're not really stickers, if you look on
the back there's just foam adhesive stuff on the back...
I thought they were really pretty.
I actually grabbed about four different packs initially, and then when I did the math on
all the other stuff I was buying, I was like, "I can't justify buying four packs - I'm not
even that big into flowers!"
So I ended up grabbing these, because they were really the prettiest, these roses.
So they were $1.25.
And then finally I just bought a Skor bar, because it's good and I haven't had one in
a long time, and for some reason the other day I really wanted one...
There you go, I got some chocolate while I was at it!
