The new product had scratches and welding spots that were mistakes in manufacturing. Even the screw to secure the gas tank was off centre. Anyone noticed this for big ticket items? Staff were nice enough to load the item in vehicle but darn it will be difficult to return a bbq that is slightly defective in manufacturing-Costco should do better QC on their orders. On a funny note, today they had a plant base burger sample served on a bun. The bun was not plant based containing egg and the mayonnaise placed on also had eggs- I dunno if this was a product demo mishap but I'm pretty sure the demo overshadowed the intention to serve plant based options.

I love Dollar Tree. I noticed this store a few weeks ago while getting some groceries from Zehrs…read morenext door and flagged it. Last Saturday, my original intent was to hit Zehrs to get a few items. I needed white vinegar and tomatoes. I was surprised to see something like thirty people in a lineup to get into the store. A woman with her two kids took one look at the lineup and headed back to their car, saying, "Let's go to Shoppers Drug Mart to get milk." Since this pandemic, more folks are hitting convenience-type stores where basics, such as milk and bread, are offered. The idea is to get basic food staples that you need without hitting a full-blown grocery store. I wasn't in a rush, and decided to walk over and join the Zehrs lineup. However, the end of this lineup was a few steps from Dollar Tree. My mindset shifted, as I could do with a can of diced tomatoes and a bottle of white vinegar instead. I ditched Zehrs for Dollar Tree. Since lockdown 3.0 started, I have not been in a dollar store. It's kind of sad to see aisles blocked off because they aren't considered essential items. I am frankly unclear about the delineation between essential and non-essential items when I visit these stores. I have seen plants available for purchase, but not socks. Are plants deemed essential because you get the carbon dioxide-oxygen exchange between humans and plants, so we all thrive and continue to breathe? I'm thinking that if it's 6°C and you don't have any socks that they are considered essential to keep you warm as a human. What do I know, though? I'm confused. I ended up getting a small jug of white vinegar. I also got a large can of diced tomatoes. There weren't any plain ones. Instead, I got ones with herbs and spices. I used them to make stuffed peppers and the diced tomatoes worked out well. I am always happy with the selection of dry herbs and spices at Dollar Tree. The selection here was great. I didn't need any, but looking at everything while I was in that aisle felt normal. There were markers, pens, and stationery that were available. I didn't mind looking at them. I needed Crayola markers with fine tips, which were geared towards adults. It was sad to recently learn that pretty much all my markers at home were dead. I also saw a six-colour llama pen that I liked a lot. I found Alokozay teas at this store. I am looking forward to giving the strawberry a try. I have been drinking the blackcurrant variety for years, which is one of my favourite brands. I am also a huge fan of all things blackcurrant, which explains my love for Ribena. I went to line up. There was a woman buying cases of glassware. The woman cashing her out suggested that I try the other one where the man just came back from a break. I headed over there and he was pleasant. I paid for my items with a debit card and thanked him. I brought a bag, so I didn't splurge getting a plastic one. There is plenty of parking in front of Dollar Tree in this plaza. I was parked closer to the Zehrs main entrance, so I took a nice walk to my car, looking at the crazy lineup that still existed there at Zehrs. My guess is that I would have still been in the lineup had I not dropped by Dollar Tree. I'd come back to this Dollar Tree for nonperishable goods and llama pens. Here's hoping that when this lockdown is lifted and things are safe that I can check out the blocked-off aisles. (194)

They have the incoming post-Christmas stuff like chocolate. So if someone didnt load you up with lindt chocolates, stop in for a sweet fix.

Used a reusable bag that I use in most every other store in Woodstock Ontario & that bag is acceptable. Shopped on a Sunday , took same bag, clerk at check out refused 15% discount; reason bag was not acceptable. Did not get discount. My only comment, very glad other grocery outlets in my town carry same products as Bulk Barn because Bulk Barn just lost my business in future.

The reason being that they will shut their doors for about 5 weeks, come Monday February 4, to do some renovations. They are planning to expand this location, taking over 30% of the unit next door. I found this out from the owner himself as he served me at the cash, saying that they're not selling off their goods in order to have the shop change hands ("I hope not!" he said, "I'm the owner!") He is planning also to gut the existing shop and rebuild to fit the expansion. It will be interesting to see what they make of this place when they reopen mid-April, as every Bulk Barn I've ever shopped in so far has pretty much looked the same as what this shop looks like now. Good luck, and see you in 6 weeks! Meanwhile, us shoppers are clamouring for these discounts! :-)

Their cup supplies were not very well organized and it took some time to find it. We went through the grocery section and noticed that the prices are basically grocery store prices. There is no wholesale. If someone was looking for much larger sizes of things for a restaurant, they could certainly find it there. However, I found it expensive they have fresh produce which could be purchased more cheaply at Costco at the cash register. We were asked if we would use our PC optimum card and that's when we realized this is a grocery store with some restaurant supplies, one of the big things that should have triggered that thought was that there's no membership required. In terms of the staff, I found people very friendly, and the location is quite good. If I were just reading the staff, they would get a five star.

I'm told that there is a huge line that forms before the store opens in the morning. We came in the afternoon and walked right in. The place was pretty crowded but you could still get around quite easy. In the two food isles I saw dented cans of soups, broken or bashed boxes of other dry food items. There was a good assortment of Christmas chocolates and candy. You should know your prices before you buy anything. The clothes aisle was complete chaos with most of the clothing thrown in huge piles caused by people rummaging through trying to find sizes. Here you could get jeans for $10. A kids snowsuit for under $30. The day we came all the winter clothing was 40% off. This place is hit and miss. People mess it up. I'm sure when they open the doors in the morning the place is nicely organized. Then there is a wild rush to get the best deal and it all goes to hell. We had a fun time and enjoyed all the good deals we found.

I recommend not wearing your coat in the store, because there are so many folks in there that the body heat will make you feel like you are having hot flashes! Today was my second time there. I got many 1L boxes of almond beverage both times. The beverage is unsweetened and goes for $1.50 each, which is dirt cheap! Today, I got two pairs of jeans. They go for $10 a pair. There was a 25% discount on clothes today, so it was ridiculous to get a decent pair for $7.50 each. I also got a rain jacket going for $25 before the discount. This recommendation came from my boyfriend, who loves this store. I do, too. It does get crowded. There are two lines for payment. The one on the left is for credit cards and debit. The other is for cash only. (74)
