So, I'm in Dollarama today (the Canadian version of Dollar Tree) and found 2 Canadian Living cookbooks for $3 each. I've previously found other good books there so always take a peak. For my fellow Canucks, they were "Make it Tonight" (a different version then the one I have and for $3 I didn't care if there were some duplicates) and "International Foods".
Anyone find other great deals at similar stores?

Jean,
Not at dollar stores, no (and I was amused that your topic is "dolar store", which would be "store of sadness", which is kind of appropriate, in a way). I don't know that I've ever looked at their book section.
Where I have made great finds is library book sales ...

I think of physical pain...isn't that what dolor means in Spanish? I'm not sure Dollarama suits as a sad store though. It always strikes me as cheap and cheerful rather than sad and dreary (like, say Walmart does). I didn't realize they sold books. I'll have to look!

Carey, it's very hit and miss for decent books but I've also found The Soprano's Cookbook there. And you are right, it's much more cheerful than Walmart.

Dolor means pain of any kind. Dolar is not related to dolor. It usually has an accent over to o so it is pronounced with the emphasis in the first syllable; dolor has the emphasis in the second. Dolar is used when referring to American dollar.
I like going to the dollar store. Great place for wrapping paper, foil pans, seasonal stuff, etc. I've browsed the books, found interesting stuff but refrained because I don't need another cookbook.
I was so good for such a long time, then in the past month I've bought Ina's Make it Ahead, and Dorie's Baking Chez Moi and <i>Around my French Table</i> and have one coming today The Cuban Table: A Celebration of Food, Flavors, and History by Ana Sofia Pelaez all in hardback. Also Flour Too, for the iPad. I bought Plenty More too, but returned it.

Alina,
I have the Cuban Table from the library. I'd be interested in your thoughts of it. My closest attempt of anything like this has been a mojito.
It seems nice & several photos.
