I love this HomeSense. It's fairly large, and I always walk out buying at least one thing…read more The store offers a large selection of pictures, household wares, books, furniture as well as linens. It is hard not to find anything at HomeSense that is not priced reasonably. Like other reviewers have mentioned, since it is located on Merivale Road, it should be avoided on the weekends. Not only that but avoid this location on Monday's as well, the stock is usually low, and the store is left with all the "left overs" from the weekend, that did not sale. Usually give it a day or two for the staff to load up the shelves with new goodies after their weekend rush. Best time to shop is Tuesday-Friday in the evening or morning. Don't forget, interior decorators get a discount at HomeSense!!

Minus the drive on Merivale the trip to Homesense was pretty good. This Homesense is massive! There are a lot of items at this store and like most Homesense's the stock changes weekly. There were a lot of items for the house, some nice, some awfully hard to look at! The good thing about this Homesense is that there are a lot of items for pretty reasonable prices. I'd recommend going on a weekday as Merivale seemed like a zoo today and I hear it's like that on weekends.

Kitchen/Bathroom countertop reno in Edmonton.

Not so. Email on my contract - invalid, phone number on my contract is for a call centre where they just answer calls but cannot provide any answers. Advise that they will pass along to Manager to call, but I called and was told this three times and no one has every returned my call. They use third party contracts and if you have any issues, there is no one there to l provide any assistance. I finally had to go through my local warehouse and the manager sent two emails before anyone contacted me. Spoke to a lady on the phone who told me to send an email with my concerns. Received confirmation that they would look into my issues and then once job done, received another emails stating discussions with Vendor and Installation team underway and then crickets. No one has addressed my concerns. The countertop was not what I expected, the Third Party Contractor in Edmonton was FloForm Countertops and they were the most unprofessional company I have ever worked with. Costco Installation's prices are three times what you would pay at a granite place and you don't get to see your slab prior to production as they only have an office with samples. I say save yourself the time and money of dealing with COSTCO INSTALLATION SERVICES.

TLDR: Smaller Costco, no gas station, but great customer service…read more So I finally did it: I got my own Costco membership. Once upon a time, I used to go to Costco with my brother pretty regularly (he has a membership). It was part of our hanging out time, and I loved it. I remember once a few years ago I was in a mall and there was a kiosk set up to sell Costco memberships. They were giving out free stuff, so I had to stop and take a look, haha. The man asked me if I was a Costco member and I said no, but my brother was and he'd take me every week or two, so I was familiar with Costco. He told me if I got my own membership I could go anytime I wanted, but if going to Costco was this thing my brother and I did and it was our quality time together then I shouldn't get my own membership and just continue to go with my brother. I thought that was such a lovely thing to say. And he ended up giving me the free cookies or chocolate or whatever it was they were giving out anyway, lol. Well fast forward to present day and my brother is super busy with his kids, his work and other stuff and we haven't been to Costco together now for several years. He still goes regularly, but on his own right at opening on a weekend (he's on the other side of town, and I'm not an early bird, so I definitely don't go with him). He still buys me stuff when I ask him like Craisins, pumpkin seeds and almond butter (staples in my house), but I don't get to browse and see what's new in the warehouse. What precipitated me getting a membership, believe it or not, was a jar of avocado mayo. I love avocado mayo (I'm talking 100% of the oil used is avocado oil, not the Hellman's Avocado mayo that's mostly canola oil with a bit of avocado oil mixed in) but it's expensive as hell at grocery stores (like $15 for a tiny 355ml jar). When I saw in the Costco flyer that a 946ml jar was only $9.49 I immediately asked my brother to buy it for me. However, it's only available at regular Costcos and my brother only goes to the Costco Business Centre these days. What's an avocado mayo loving girl to do in this situation? Get her own Costco membership and buy a jar herself! My husband and I were in Kanata for an afternoon function, so we decided to head over to this Kanata Costco to buy a membership and the avocado mayo. We were served by Ziny at the Customer Service Desk, who was very courteous, informative and helpful. We got our memberships and headed into the warehouse. This location is smaller than most Costcos and their food court area is also very small. They don't have a gas station either. Anyway, we found the avocado mayo and it was even $0.50 less than advertised ($8.99). Score! We picked up a few other items too. They were giving out samples of various items, but most of them were either not of interest to me, or there were hoards of people crowding around. Now I like free stuff, but my dislike of crowds is stronger, so I kept going. I did manage to get a sample of some S'mores clusters ;) It was my first time at this Kanata Costco. I heard that the plan is to close it and open a new location at the Tanger Outlets that will be bigger and have a gas station. There is no timeline that I know of, and it's just what I heard, so not sure if it will happen. Anyway, that's my Costco story. This location is across from the Kanata Centrum. Obviously there's free parking on-site. (78)

Oof, this place is dangerous. I make a list and try to stick…read moreby it. Parking is coocoo, I try to go at off times. Mid day or just before close. Employees are always kind at check out but I wish there were a few more on the floor. It's a big place and I can never find what I need the most! Things get moved around so much or get discontinued so if you see something great, buy it! Samples... ugh. I'm always hungry as I get so busy, I forget to eat. Yum. I love everything they serve. Unless egg or mayo related. Customers are usually friendly and one has to be understanding in this place as the shopping carts are huge! I love looking at seasonal items, avoid the sweets, clothing and books. And the cold rooms, brrr! I tend to buy all my paper products there and am addicted to their croissants. Sooo many in a batch tho so I like to give some away while fresh as they don't freeze well. I buy hamburger and cut it 4 times to freeze as I am an expert now at pasta sauce for my lasagna and chili. I bought recently a heated blanket I'm in love with and want another one but I think they are all gone now. I save a lot of $ buying Timmies kcups when on sale as those suckers are pricey anywhere else. All this writing about it, I'm starving and may go right now. Thanks a lot, Yelp!!!!! :)

I find that during the week their selection is fantastic, and the store is relatively cleaner compared to some of the other locations that I have checked out. If you stop in during the week, it is not that busy and is usually pleasant to browse and shop in. I cannot say the same for the weekends. They are well stocked with a larger selection of furniture, rugs, and seasonal items that are rather in better condition than other locations. I find items are nicely displayed here, and not just thrown on a shelf. The employees at this location are friendly, and the lines are rarely an issue. I can spend hours at this HomeSense!!

Anyway, not the best Rexall. Not a lot of selection, and feels a bit dated inside. But points for convenience if you work at Tunney's. No parking lot and street parking is a real pain in this part of town, so I think it's mostly for people who live and work in the area.

My daughter pointed out the sale sign said $4.99 yet the bag had a sticker on that said $5.00 off. There were two bags on the shelf and both had the $5.00 off sticker. I brought it to the counter my daughter and I sort of laughing. The cashier says he cannot scan it through at that price but called for a manager. The store was empty but this supervisor Dorothy showed up after a long wait. She actually snarled and said "no. You aren't getting it for that price. I can ring it up at the full price and you use the sticker or you pay the shelf price." She had the absolute worst face. I was completely taken aback by her demeanour. I hadn't even said anything yet and she came up basically growling. My daughter and I and the cashier were laughing and smiling before this beast came. Anyhow if you have an item on a shelf with a price and a clearance sticker on it you should abide by it. I go to other rexalls where the employees are wonderful.
