flag Canadians flock to dollar stores amid inflation, boosting sales and profits in Q3 2025.

flag Canadians are increasingly shopping at discount retailers like Dollarama due to ongoing inflation and rising living costs, driving a 22% sales surge and 16.6% profit increase for the retailer in Q3 2025. flag Consumers are shifting from major chains to save on essentials, pressured by stagnant wages, high housing and food prices, supply chain issues, and trade-related tariffs. flag Household spending dropped 0.1% in the quarter—the first decline since 2021—reflecting broader economic strain. flag Cheap imported goods from East Asia keep prices low in dollar stores, making them more competitive despite the popularity of “buy Canadian” efforts.
