Frugal coffee dates & Free Wifi at McCafe?
| April 6, 2011 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series, Frugal Entertainment |
I recently discovered that McDonald’s offers free Wifi in most of their restaurants in Canada and The USA (some parts of the world too). This has been ongoing since 2003 in Canada but that’s around the time I banned McDonald’s so I wouldn’t have known. I am not a regular McDonald’s patron as they don’t…
Comparing DollarStore to Luxury Products Series: Bubble Bath
| January 7, 2011 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series |
I haven’t posted a Dollarstore VS Luxury Series article in awhile. Here you go! When is an item worth the price? I love baths and decided to compare all kinds of bubble baths from dollar-store to luxury. The range I used was from $1 for a litre of bubble bath all the way to $36…
Dollarstore VS Luxury Series: Nail Polish
| October 7, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series, Health & Beauty |
This post has been a work in progress for several months . I’ve been purchasing some of the inexpensive polishes myself and have tried to get some free samples of luxury ones. Sadly, the companies I wrote to can not ship to Canada, some did not even get back to me. I want to thank…

Just to let you guys know that I am working on two posts for the DOLLARSTORE VS LUXURY SERIES.

I am reviewing Nail Polishes and Bubble Bath…from cheap to ridiculously expensive. So please stay…
Dollarstore Vs Luxury Series: Facial Scrubs
| August 26, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series |
I use a facial scrub twice a week. I have used several kinds but wanted to try more. I received samples and coupons from a few companies, some through Sephora and some through writing the company. I want to thank St-Ives and Kiss My Face for responding to my requests! St-Ives sent me amazing coupons…
Dollarstore VS Luxury Series: Foot Cream
| July 2, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series, Health & Beauty |
I am a serious foot cream junkie. I use A LOT of it. I get it as gifts all the time from people. I probably go through 8 bottles/tubes of foot cream a year. My feet are always in good condition and I now do my own pedicures as well (this is new!). Since I’ve tried so…
Dollarstore vs Luxury Series: Hair Masks
| May 16, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series |
I have been on the lookout for a good decently priced hair mask. I have coloured hair which I get done every 3-4 months (it lasts that long - have Goldwell’s Elumen in my hair!) and take very good care of it; washing it only once a week but conditioning it daily. I also use…
Comparing Dollarstore to Luxury Products Series: Mascara
| November 13, 2009 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Dollarstore VS Luxury Series |
This is a series I decided to start writing for my own knowledge and to share with you. When is an item worth the price? I don’t wear much make up but I can’t live without my mascara so I started with this. Eyes Lips Face Mascara ($1 at eyeslipsface.com): This is a great make up…
