I like shopping at Giant Tiger! Call me crazy, but I do!…read more Giant Tiger is just one of the stores I stop in each time I go shopping for produce because it's located right beside H&W. Giant Tiger is a discount stores that sells pretty much everything from clothing, house hold items, food, books and gifts. It's similar to a Zellers but on a much smaller scale. Granted. not everything is top of the line quality and you really have to look through their stock, but sometimes it's worth taking the time. I'm impressed with the kids clothing and accessories as they carry brand names that I currently use - kuddos in my books. Some of the mens and womens clothing is questionable, but it's not the place to buy your wardrobe basics but is a decent place to get the trendy things you know you'll wear for this season and want something new for the next. The household section has a good offering and college students - heads up - it's a good place to get your dorm room outfitted. They have decent bedroom sets and decor items. Their curtains is something that caught my eye as they are reasonably priced and are of reasonable quality. Let's face it, you'll want to redecorate you're area after 5 or so years and don't want to feel guilty for putting away the ultra-expensive curtains you bought. The food section is very small but if you forgot milk, cheese or the like you can pick it up here. The packaged and non-perishable foods are price well and worth stocking up on. They have a small area of toys, which of course is the first draw for kids. They have brand name items so I feel better looking through and buying here. Of course like any place you buy toys you need to really what quality and let's face it, large toy store sell crap too. Giant Tiger is a fun place to poke through and you may find some treasures to take home.

Giant Tiger is not my favourite - I'll be honest…read more But if you're looking for a gag gift or something on the cheaper end for a Secret Santa gift exchange, this might be your place. They do offer food, clothing, and housewares but honestly - you can find better value and quality at Superstore just down the road.

The space is slightly larger than north's, but I found that it carried less kitchen ware. They offer most items ranging from $2-15. Lots of cute stuffies and random asian goodies.

Sure any standard run of the mill person might see it a different way with there overly P.C Brain, but not to myself I know how normal people should act and how things were before our country got sardined by immigrants from east India, Philippines and etc. But I'm getting slightly off topic. Anyone who says otherwise is either them or people younger than myself brain washed and stupefied by the Me too, BLM, LGBQ, New Native Holiday, the term woke users movements etc.

This may be the smallest and most poorly stocked Winners store in all of Edmonton, but…read more I still find tons of beauty supplies to fit my needs. From Moroccan hair oil to fancy French milled soaps to high end designer eye shadows. I refuse to pay the original retail sticker price for anything. The store is usually pretty lonely with few customers. This gives me plenty of time to quietly browse and try things on without feeling rushed. There is no line up for check out. Just me. I feel like I've gotten a real bargain after walking out with a huge bag of girly stuff.

After all of the renovations going on in the Capilano mall area, I expected Winners to undergo a…read moretransformation as well. But not too much had changed apart from the look of the store. The store is always messy but in an organized chaos kind of way, especially in shoes and housewares. Part of the fun of shopping at Winners though is hunting through all the mundane stuff to find something awesome. I feel like they used to have a lot more clearance items available. There's still a decent amount of cheap things to buy however! Sometimes the discount clothes are super grungy and have loose threads, etc but it's usually fixable stuff.

They seem to have branched out into clothing too. Yes, they've expanded their wares, and prices up to $3 now, but I got a wilton square loaf-y type pan for $3! Cards, always a good selection. Yesterday, unusual lineups for the checkout. Only 2 gals on cash. Cash or debit only. No refunds, returns or exchanges! Check your stuff out before you leave. Some flashlights have no flash. ;-) dead batteries don't help light the table at a birthday party.

I was going to purchase $200+ in products, I waited at the one till, where only one till was open, this is at 4:30 pm, then asked if I can check out at the Marshals store and walked over there, thinking it be faster, no big deal(there was 6+ behind me) I went to the other line and more people there, and only one till, waited 10 minutes, no movement in the line. I placed my items in a cart and left. A total of 20 min waiting to pay that's ridiculous. The manager/staff need to take some courses on business. Absolutely terrible.

Another nice thing: it's attached to Winners (sister company) which helps for better shopping experience! I found the staff nice and helpful. There are a lot of parking options around the building.

Not just your usual dollar store, there were good buys to be found here! They have a great card…read moreselection including kids cards with licensed characters for $1.25. Great for fans of Disney, Scooby Doo, and super heroes! You can also get a foil balloon with helium for $1.25! Wow, that sounds like a great deal to me and you can call to order in advance. The selection is primarily for kids, and unfortunately no Dora but Minnie would do. The items I got were $1.25 and a chocolate bar for 79 cents. There was no line up and the cashier was friendly! Also, it was clean and pretty organized. Definitely a dollar store to shop at again!

I've been to a few Dollar Trees around the city, so you can take this as a review for the chain in…read moregeneral since they're all very similar :) I'm a big fan of Dollar Tree. I find that compared to certain other dollar stores, this one has actually fairly nice stuff. I bought some plastic dinosaurs there to be used as wedding decorations, and they're actually fairly realistic and stand nicely. Their craft section is a bit small (which is expected given that they're not a dedicated craft store) but they have a fair bit of stuff, and it's easily comparable to what you'd find at places like Michael's. I was impressed by that :) They also have some rather nice stationery & cards. Also, they do bulk orders as well, which is pretty cool (I didn't end up needing to do this cos it turns out they actually had 20+ bags of craft moss on hand, but I did call to ask in advance & they do it for people). So yep, Dollar Tree is definitely my favourite dollar store :)

I started going here about 12 years ago when I moved into Old Strathcona. Back then, I found this…read morestore to be dingy and disorganized. I could not stand the long lines at the registers, so I quit going. Yesterday, curiosity got the better of me. I noticed they spruced things up a bit and I wanted to see for myself. I asked a staff member if I needed a membership because it had been so long since my last visit, I wasn't sure if things had changed in that area. Happily, I didn't need one and I just picked up a couple of things. Produce mostly. I was pretty happy with what I saw, but they still try to hock their near-expired meats and veg on certain racks. It looks disgusting. Overall, it sure is a lot cleaner and brighter inside. At 3:30 pm, I did not have to wait long to pay. I think I'll be back in the very near future.

Superstore Warehouse requires no memberships to come in and purchase . There is no one there…read moreverifying receipts when you walk out either. The store has a variety of cooking / baking and kitchen needs. From home cooking to restaurant / buffet equipment ( I even noticed they sell hot dog machines !! ) . The meat / deli bulk fridge is well stocked as well. I usually buy the bigger cuts of beef and pork because during the time I spent at home I learned how to cut them into meal portions ( thanks YouTube ). I actually save quite a bit of money when I buy in bulk. The freezer section has a lot of different products - not just your normal frozen chicken / beef. The seafood area is also well stocked with a lot of choices. Sadly Edmonton does not really have a fresh fish market. Lots of frozen pies and cakes as well. One thing I also like here is the wide selection of spices and dried goods . I use a lot of spices when I am cooking . Spice is the variety of life isnt it? There is also a wide variety of drink crystals, syrups and other choices. Once i have loaded up, off to the tills. Due to covid, you have to stand at a spot on the floor and wait your turn but the wait is never too long. While you wait they tease you with racks of candy and snacks.. tempting though. The one thing I like is bagging my own groceries. It always amazes me how much I can actually put into one plastic bag vs staff who pretty much insist on using far too many bags. I dont really care the loaf of bread is sitting on top of a carton of eggs. A few bags later, I am stocked up for awhile and dont have to go back to get more every second week or so. I love how the staff there wear t-shirts that say " be kind ". How sad we have to tell people to behave themselves.. but then again there are some that just feel better yelling at staff . Good store if you want to stock up for a long time.. worth going just before winter so you dont have to go out in minus 40. Yea there are things that are slightly more expensive than other stores but the idea is to buy in bulk and stock up. Definitely worth going for your bulk needs without having to buy a membership.
