Tip: The cookie selection is excellent…read more I came here to get some snacks and lemon juice. I did a search for a dollar store. Steinbach has two Dollarama stores. I chose this one, which is a standalone location in a plaza. The other one is in at a mall. I had no problem finding a parking spot at this plaza. I pulled into an available one and walked into the store. Canada Day merchandise greeted me. I learned that I could get a t-shirt for the occasion for $5. Such a steal! I found lemon juice. I was pleased. This store has Dare cookies and Biscoff. I decided to go with the latter. I also got a reusable insulated bag. I felt that it was needed to keep my food or beverages hot or cold, depending on what I'm putting in it. The food section is perfect if you want to get ramen to heat up in a hotel room. There was also pho. There was a lineup at the checkout. The lone female staffer asked for help. It definitely helped. I got the most helpful woman cashing me out. This store does not have self-checkout kiosks. She asked if I was paying with a debit card or cash. I asked whether I could use my credit card. She said yes. I tapped and all was well. She asked if she could put my items in my reusable insulated bag. It was a great idea. She put everything in it and zipped it up for me. I thanked her for packing up my goods and left. I am so pleased with my insulated bag. I put a sub in it with a bag of plums. They were in pristine condition when I unpacked everything in my hotel room. I was happy. It's a good store. I'd go back.

She starts speaking Punjabi with her co-worker for an override and she does the same maneuver yet again. I tell her you can't charge me more than the advertised price! She calls for the Jabi-manager and he does NOT honour the advertised $2 price either! When it come to these i am cunning, i am cunning folks NOT honouring advertised prices and insisting on charging YOU the Customer More, well, that says it all about Jabi-Dollarama on Brant in Steinbach! DO NOT DO BUSINESS here, go elsewhere!! They DEMAND advertised prices be honoured and play the you know what card everywhere else yet they WILL NOT HONOUR ADVERTISED PRICES THEMSELVES - Hypocrites!! Do not shop here, you have been forewarned. Thank you.

Tip: This store had a decent selection of cleansers and toners for your face…read more This Winners is located at Clearspring Centre. There isn't a separate entrance to this Winners. You have to enter the mall to get to this store. I entered through the Sobey's entrance. The mall entrance is next to it. I'm thinking that there's likely a closer mall entrance to get to Winners, but I could be wrong. I liked shopping here. The cosmetic section greeted me. I ended up getting watermelon toner. I've been using it since I bought it. It has a nice watermelon scent and has been effective removing impurities nicely so far. The handbag section had a nice assortment of colours and styles. Sadly, I didn't see any Kipling bags. The shoe section was a bit of a disappointment to this woman who wears size 11 footwear. There were only two items that were in my size. The sneakers looked cool, but I didn't need them. I wasn't interested in the other pair. The phone accessories section is also decent. I got a four-foot USB C-to-USB C cable. I have been using it in my rental car. It charges my phone quickly and the length is perfect. The checkout lineup was long when I got there. However, it moved quickly. I got a nice woman who saw my TJX Style barcode on my phone and scanned it immediately. I then paid for my items with a credit card. Done! I thanked the woman and left with my items. I put them away in my reusable bag and drove off to my next destination. I like that Steinbach has one of everything. This store is the only Winners in the city and it's great. (230)

Tips: - The pre-cut fruit is excellent…read more - Don't get the Noodle King ramen cups. They weren't yummy. I had placed a dinner order at Santa Lucia and had thirty minutes to kill before picking it up. I hadn't been to this Walmart, so I headed over here to get some fruit. There was plenty of parking in front of the store. This Walmart is a part of Clearspring Centre. It isn't attached to the mall. Rather, it's a standalone building next to it. This store is the only Walmart in Steinbach. I appreciated the simplicity of this city having exactly one of everything, with a few exceptions. The grocery section was in front of me when I walked into the store. It was exactly what I needed. I looked at dessert. There were individual cake slices. I then saw Kipling single snack-sized cake versions that were individually wrapped. I got the lemon version. It's pretty good for cake when you are travelling. I managed to eat one of the six slices on the plane heading back to Toronto. I was here for fruit. I went with apple slices. I ate half of them in my hotel room and the remaining half at the airport in Winnipeg. They are convenient when you are travelling or just don't feel like cutting fruit up yourself. I was happy that I got fruit checked off my to-get list. I did some more browsing. I ended up getting some Noodle King ramen cups. They were perfect for adding water and heating them up in the microwave when I felt like a snack in my hotel room. I will say that Noodle King ramen isn't as yummy as the ramen cups that you get iat Dollarama. I'd skip getting them here. I saw plants to the right of the entrance. They looked healthy. It would be a bit messy to bring a plant on the plane, so I didn't get one. I saw a lot of canned soup. Tim Hortons is getting into that market. I do love the chicken noodle. I have never had the potato bacon. I'll need to give it a try one of these days. I got a nice man at the checkout. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I brought a reusable bag and placed my items in there. I wished him a good evening and left. Coming here to get fruit and more was perfect. I headed to pick up dinner afterwards. Perfect! I liked shopping here. I'd return to shop here when I'm in the area. (273)

There are too few techs to get it done at random, but no big deal, I can wait. They said it could be done within their winter preparation package for $49 rather than just separate maintenance... something like a shop hour... so a great savings. Happy customer!! But wait! Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of success. My wife and I showed up in two vehicles to drop off the car. Why? Because our local CT is famous for taking a few HOURS for an oil change. Long time to sit on your thumb. So we came prepared!! Oh, there's more... the tech said they can only do the oil change, not the winter check!! Which I had waited the extra week to get so they would have staff available. The tech then said we didn't have the winter check scheduled!! Then he said the thermostat wouldn't have been included in the winter check!!! Then the young man accused my wife of lying!!! I told my wife $#@%$ and concluded that we'd leave before someone got hurt. Since our local CT lost their service manager, ALYSSA, their shop has become a gong show of gross incompetence. Avoid the STEINBACH, MB CT IF POSSIBLE. It's worth the trip to BC to see Alyssa at her new shop... another CT that is likely worthwhile.

Canadian Tire, Steinbach. Bought metal valve stem caps to replace plastic ones, could not remove to…read morecheck air. Service guy at cdn tire says, yeah, they seize up, they're known for that. Told them to remove them and replace valve stems, they call me to tell me the tires are too bald so they can't replace stems. Problem is, tires have less than 40k on them, then they tell me warranty is prorated. Took tires, went to Kal Tire, their guy says "those aren't bald". They are getting me hooked up. #canadiantirecentre There is always a scam or upsell when dealing with them. Last time it was "we can't sell you just two tires for your hummer, it's illegal for us and unsafe" even though other two tires were 2 months old. I learned my lesson, never again. Two valve stems ($20) would have ended up being $300, will never use their service center again and will be sure to warn everyone that they will try to upsell unnecessary service. Unethical and basic warranty on tires is not honored.

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)

After I had breakfast at Ben & Florentine, I decided to drop by Giant Tiger (GT) in the same plaza…read more I needed drinks. I like the prices at GT. GT will always have a soft spot in my heart, especially when I visit one in Winnipeg. My introduction to this franchise occurred when Winnipeg got its first store on Donald Street, at Ellice Avenue, when I lived in the city. It's still there! It was raining. I decided to hop in my rental vehicle and find a closer parking spot to the store. I didn't have an umbrella. I found a spot steps away and dashed into the store. It was Canada Day. I saw a lot of festive merchandise, from water bottles, to tank tops. I was sporting a Canada cap. It kept my head dry. I liked the clearance section. This store had a lot of great deals. With a brisk wind on the coolest day during my vacation, I needed something to keep me warm while taking in the Canada Day celebrations later on in the evening. I found a lightweight long-sleeved top with a floral pattern for $5. It was roomy to wear on top of my t-shirt and the sleeves were the perfect length. Such a steal! I was happy. I liked the bucket hats at this store. I was content with my cap that I didn't get one. The grocery section was great. I loved looking at bagged apples and lemons, and a variety of baked goods. I went to the beverages section. A six-pack of bottled Coke zero was on sale. Sold! This store had gigantic Squishmallows. They were cute, but one would fit my entire luggage if I didn't compress it down. At the checkout, I got Lawrence. He was competent and efficient. He asked me if I needed a bag. I declined and said that I was good. I paid with a credit card. My items were just over $10. Insane! I wore my long-sleeved top when I was taking in the Canada Day celebrations from roughly 6 pm till 9 pm in an open stadium. It kept me warm and it was comfy to wear. I liked shopping at this store. I'd head back again when I'm in the St. James area. (298)

Tip: The hours for Dollarama and Sobeys are different from the mall's hours of operation…read more This mall is Steinbach's largest mall. I came here to check out Winners and spent some time browsing. Over the course of my stay in Steinbach, I visited it regularly. I like the Winners here. I was pleased with my purchases. The downside was that there weren't a lot of women's size 11 shoes. This mall has a Dollarama. Its hours of operation are different (it opens at 7 am) than the mall's. The Sobeys is cool. It has its own entrance next to the mall entrance. It also has different hours of operation, which makes sense why it has its own entrance. I looked at a ton of freezies, along with fresh produce and fruit. I liked looking at photos and learning about the mall's history. They are on the wall, by an area in which you can sit down. Self-guided learning is awesome! I learned that this mall was established in 1980. There was a photo of the mall sign being erected. This mall is 45 years old this year! It's cool to that this mall is the largest one outside of Winnipeg and Brandon. It had everything that I needed while I was here. There are some stores that are a part of this mall, but are separate from it. I've been to McDonald's, Starbucks, Walmart, and Staples. All of them comprise the mall, but mainly face highway 12 and are detached from it. I probably spent the most time at Starbucks and McDonald's to get drinks. Walmart was great getting snacks and fruit. I browsed around Staples and didn't buy a thing. It's a decent mall in Steinbach. It had everything that I needed while I was in the city. (234)
