Ever wonder what your neighbours have in their shopping carts and on their wish lists? Us too, which is why we thought it would be fun to put together a communal shopping list filled with the best selling products in Canada.
Some items, like back-to-school essentials, are a given for September. But others, like a vegan mouthwash and Halloween costumes (yup, that's right!) surprised us. From pimple patches to surge power points, this is what is in demand right now. For a fully curated selection and the best deals, be sure to check out our Amazon Storefront for more.
Back-to-school shopping rush
With many students starting (or getting back to) dorm life, there's a rush on essentials like a desktop organizer (that can be used for cosmetics or pencils), extension cords, silicone hair catchers for communal showers ($9.99), Command adhesive hanging strips ($20.38/60) and a surge power adapter with five outlets and three USB ports ($22.49). It’s no surprise that dial locks are a big seller in September — it’s a student staple that hasn’t gone digital. $8.79 at Amazon.For more, check out our Amazon Storefront.
Best selling personal care products

For spot treatment, beauty lovers swear by the popular and discreet Corsx Pimple Patches. $17.29 on Amazon.
