I frequent Bulk Barn in waves. I used to visit them with my mom eons ago. These days, the places that I often frequent do not have a Bulk Barn close by.
I was recently in Aurora. I used to visit the box stores often a few years back. I decided to check out what was there and refresh my memory. I found this Bulk Barn. I parked and walked in.
The staff here are exceptionally friendly. A woman immediately said hi to me. While checking out the snacks aisle (you know that I am writing this post and I haven't been kidnapped by aliens when I talk about snacks), when a man stocking items also said hi. I liked it all.
There is far more variety than I recall at any Bulk Barn. I got an orange and cream lollipop, which was yummy. I actually sucked on it during a two-hour movie afterwards. Who needs to get popcorn when you can go with a lollipop for $2.49 before tax?
There are plenty of dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan items. My favourite Daiya and Sweets from the Earth are all here, at decent prices. Zevia sugar-free drinks were 30% off the regular price. The cold drinks section at the back of the store is excellent.
I saw Bounty minis and M&M's. There were unicorn and chocolate-covered Oreos. There were a ton of nuts and I'm not referring to fellow shoppers. It's a wonderful place to get snacks for cheap prices. You can get as much or as little as you need, which has also been cool about Bulk Barn.
I liked the pineapple ice shapes. I may head back to get some. I managed to get a silicone straw for bubble tea. I use so many straws that it's time to reduce my usage with reusable ones. My purple straw was only $1.
My childhood candies also surfaced here. I have never seen so many coloured gumballs in my life. There were also these giant jawbreakers that I still don't know how I would approach eating one.
The cashier helping me out was super helpful and nice. You can pay using cash, and debit and credit cards. I went with a debit card. The tap didn't work, but doing the slide-slot procedure and entering my PIN worked just fine.
I like this store. I'd come back again when I'm in the neighbourhood.
