The last store that I visited at Outlet Collection Winnipeg earlier this month was this Winners. I…read moretend to frequent Winners often and it was the case during my vacation. It was nice to see one at this mall. If you expect this Winners to be an outlet version of the store, it's not the case. It's more a convenient way to access a Winners in an air-conditioned mall with shoppers looking for a deal by default. It is a nice Winners. I focused my attention on housewares and phone accessories. This store has an extremely diverse set of drinkware. If you want blingy glasses with rainbows on them, you can find a set here. If you are looking for huge tumblers to bring water or whatever you'd like to consume everywhere and stay hydrated, there is one for you. I like looking at phone accessories. From car mounts for your phone, to USB C cables, I love checking out what's out there. I am a PopSockets person. It's easier for me to take photos with it and hold my phone in general. I ended up getting a couple of them here. One was an enamel watermelon. It would go well with my watermelon t-shirt that I had just bought and my stuffing myself with watermelon all summer. The other one had smiling flowers on it. The kitchen gadgets were great here. I saw everything from butterfly moulds to garlic presses. There was a Mr Men mug set that was adorable. This store also has a lot of Hello Kitty items, from storage containers, to a chopstick-plate set. I went to pay for my items at the checkout. The woman there was pleasant. I had my TJX Style+ barcode scanned from my phone. I then paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. I thanked the woman and placed my items in my bag. I was done shopping at this mall after at least a couple of hours, so I headed to my rental vehicle and went to fetch dinner. I liked shopping at this Winners. It was clean and I liked my PopSocket purchases at decent prices. (295)

I spent some time in the Kildonan area, specifically visiting places along Regent Street West,…read morewhile in Winnipeg. I noticed this Winners store that I had never visited and checked it out. There was lots of parking. I backed into a spot and walked in. What stands out is a decent number of Kipling bags. I didn't need any, but they had smaller ones at this store. Finding them made me happy. The housewares section was also enjoyable to browse. I liked everything from silicone ice cube trays, to glass drinkware. The shoe department was great. The selection of women's size 11 shoes made me happy. I liked the sneakers. In the men's section, it had Airwalk sneakers. I hadn't seen those in ages! Before I left, I had to check out the phone accessories section. I like getting PopSockets at reasonable prices. This store had some styles that I had never seen before. I also saw my first MagSafe charger at any Winners store. It was exciting to me spotting a technology unicorn. I enjoyed browsing around. I'd return again when I'm in the area. Maybe I'll find something that I end up purchasing next time. (288)

Buy once and buy for life.

He was RUDE, DISMISSIVE and delivered the opposite of what we agreed to. After paying our wedding photographer $500 extra in order to ensure we got photos cutting our large wedding tiramisu... MY NEW HUSBAND ASKED THE STAFF TO HIDE IT QUICKLY. NO CAKE CUTTING PHOTOS AT OUR WEDDING AS it was the UGLIEST tiramisu I have ever seen. A complete waste of money. Chef Daniel and i had an agreement. I went to the bakery and CONFIRMED they had the exact design we had agreed upon... and then a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAKE SHOWED UP. If you are planning a wedding - PLEASE AVOID THIS BUSINESS! They will make your wedding planning experience worse, they lie, they take your money and they produce the opposite of what they agreed to.

They carry a unique mix of vintage dresses, work-appropriate basics, and gorgeous accessories. The store is nicely organized, making it easy to browse and admire the amazing clothing. Not only is the selection great, but the prices are amazing! I was surprised every time I looked at a clothing tag because it was at least $20 less than I expected the item to cost. Maybe I'm just used to the price gouging that occurs in Vancouver. My friend bought two gorgeous dresses for less than $150, both of which were great finds. I ended up buying a pair of socks from Blue Q and a nice pair of black bamboo leggings for less than $40. If you love dresses and unique clothing, definitely shop local at Out of the Blue!

Staff are super friendly and kind. Just an update for those who like gifts that matter They are selling the cutest wooden houses in support of mental health . All the proceeds go the maker which is really amazing. They have a map of Manitoba and come with a little star so you can place your town on the map. For 15-20 dollars they are a steal and will look super cute in my kitchen. The staff said you can email the maker for custom provinces. I think they would make a great gift for a great cause.

I've received better service here than any other beauty supply outlet in the city, the prices are…read morereasonable and the best part is that I can come here to buy professional colour, bleach and developer without having a hair apprentice card or full license (although if you do have one you get extra discounts). You can also get ardell individual lashes here in small, medium and large (I'm pretty sure I've only seen the mediums in a few department stores). They also sell a decent variety of wax and supplies that are also reasonably priced (well as reasonable as you can get professional wax without a license!) Overall I recommend coming here for all of your various hair supplies if you're, like me, a "recreational" hair stylist and don't have access to places like Cosmoprof.

The good: - Basic…read morelines of China Glaze, Finger Paints, Nina Ultra Pro, Strip Rite, Savvy and Orly nail polishes. - Nail polish thinner - good god this stuff is nearly impossible to find any place else. - Sally Girl mini nail polishes. - Fairly attentive staff - I was approached right away when I walked in, but they didn't hover. - $5 for a membership card which gets you discounts on all of their products. My first time in there, the card more than paid for itself. China Glaze polishes are $3.99 with the card ($6.49 regular.) The bad: - They had a few limited edition China Glaze, Finger Paints and Orly polishes, but not very much. - The associate I talked to didn't really seem to know much about the product - whether stuff was cruelty free, and whether or not they would be getting any of the limited edition polishes in at any point. - A lot of product with only the regular price, no indication of what the discount price is. I had to ask. I hate having to ask. (Most of their labels have a code on them - the last three digits of the code is the discounted price.) - Disappearing product - I went in maybe a week ago and bought a polish from a counter display near the till. Went in again and the whole display was gone! Damn, glad I bought it when I did and didn't decide to go home and think about it for a few days. I went in the other night to buy China Glaze Atlantis, which is from their new line of glitters. They didn't have it, and the gal was totally unable to give me any info about it. Sadness. Guess I'll have to keep going back or calling, and hope I get lucky.

Most are one of a kind and others are "one of a kind in this colour." They have everything from jewelry to purses and even hankies. It's not for everyone, but it's a great place to buy a gift for someone that wouldn't normally shop in a boutique. Go at the end of each season for blowout prices. I found a beautiful silver and pearl necklace for my wedding here and got half off. There is a lot of handmade and sterling silver jewelry which is good if you have alloy allergies. Some items are a bit pricey, but because most are handmade and original, you get what you pay for. Check this place out even if you're not going to buy anything.
