Save, Don’t Skimp
These days, everyone is looking to spend less, though they don’t want to give up quality, safety or style. Many are looking to dollar and discount stores to save money on household necessities such as kitchen utensils, hardware and other supplies. Discount stores such as Burnaby’s Bag of Bargains provide shoppers with practical items for the home, plus fun items on the cheap, from holiday ornaments to children’s toys to party decorations and favours. The stock here is chosen with quality in mind: if they wouldn’t buy it, they don’t sell it.

Prepare to Party
Since 2000, this independently owned store has carried everything you’d expect to find at a discount store - with an emphasis on great party supplies and gifts. For example, you’ll find place settings, loot bags and toys; wrapping paper and cards; napkins and tablecloths; and of course, everything you need to celebrate Halloween and Christmas. And look up, because Bag of Bargains specializes in helium balloons for all occasions. Pick out a themed balloon from the wide selection or a pack of special message balloons, and they will blow them up to create a festive accent or surprise gift.

Service and Special Orders
Low prices for the merchandise don’t translate to similar levels of customer service. The staff of this large, well-organized store is friendly and efficient, and they will even take special orders. For example, if you need certain items in quantity for an event, Bag of Bargains can source them for you from one of their many reliable suppliers, often with a quick turnaround time.
