After having lunch from Food Fight BBQ, I wanted to discover the area. I drove around, looking at…read moreall the businesses like a tourist. I ended up seeing a yellow glow on a gloomy early afternoon. It was Giant Tiger. In my head, I was thinking whether I needed anything grocery-wise. I did need avocados. I had one left at home, so I decided to pay this store a visit. It looked new from the outside. I parked. There was plenty of parking. I proceeded to walk in. It felt more spacious than the GT that I visit in Whitchurch-Stouffville. I saw a brand of rye bread that I haven't seen since my days in Winnipeg. I used to get it all the time back then. There was a husband-wife couple walking in front of me. The man, in particular, was loud. He was doing most of the talking. A GT employee politely asked that he put on his mask. No wonder he was so loud. He walked in with his mouth fully flapping away. The grocery section is impressive. The produce looked fresh and inviting. I found my bag of avocados and was happy. There were more frozen food items than I have ever seen at any GT store. The cheese section had fancy varieties, such as dill and garlic. I had to get some. Even the egg offerings were diverse. Hard-boiled eggs. Liquid eggs (both yokes and whites). Liquid eggs (whites only). I was incredibly impressed. I am still not sure why plants are considered essential during this lockdown. I keep saying that it's because we need the oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange to live, but I don't know if my theory holds true. I lined up at the checkout area. The loud man with his wife were behind me. They were the only downside to my experience, but I was happy that I was ahead of him, because I could avoid dealing with his loudness by leaving the store first. The woman cashing me out was nice. She asked for my VIP membership number. You simply say your phone number and the GT employee can enter it into the system. I paid using my debit card and declined getting a plastic bag. The transaction was simple. I had a great experience at this GT. It was nice seeing different food items at this store. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. (206)

I've always found great items such as carpets linen and kitchen items here. I always get my grocery items from here as well and they are always fresh and high-quality. Most of the time I can typically find items at a great price here compared to other places such as shoppers and other places. I also get my seasonings and cleaning supplies for kitchen bath and laundry from here as well and I found the items to be great quality and best of all amazing prices. They also have a lot of tools and machinery type items which is great for house hold things that need to be fixed. There's also a large isle of party supplies and paper plates and such. I feel like I always get a lot of items every time I come visit and I don't always spend as much as I thought I would especially when you compare to any other place that you would go to the prices here are definitely outstanding and the quality speaks for itself. They have a large selection of clothing and curtains and other supplies as well but occasionally buy and keep continuing to buy.

The outrage that I had was unexpected! I did a search and found this one in Mississauga. It didn't take long to get here from downtown Oakville. It was around ten minutes. I pulled into Millway Shopping Centre (it's really a plaza) and didn't have a problem finding a parking spot. I backed into one and headed over to the store. There was a female panhandler in front of the store that was asking for money. It was my second time being asked for change in front of a Giant Tiger. The problem is that I don't carry change with me, especially during a pandemic when I pay using either a credit or debit card. I told her that detail and walked into the store. I like that there's a greeter at the store when you walk in these days. It's twofold. It's to make sure that the store doesn't exceed the maximum capacity of folks shopping. It is also to check that you're wearing a mask. She was nice and said hi. I reciprocated. My goal was to get avocados and celery. I achieved it with flying colours. There were two displays of avocados. One display had ripe ones. The other one wasn't as ripe. I always get the six-pack of avocados and they are cheap at under $3. I saw a woman taking celery out of a box and putting them into the produce section. I asked if she could hand me a couple from the box. She was great and handed them over to me. They were so fresh. I felt so VIP with my celery! Although I haven't done much shoe browsing during this pandemic, I loved the sneakers here. Sadly, they offer women's shoe sizes from 6 to 9. Such a bummer for someone who swears a size 11! I haven't seen Squishmallows at Giant Tiger stores in months. It was the case at this store. Instead, I looked at larger baby Yoda plushies. I had enough willpower to not buy one. There wasn't a huge lineup at the checkout. I had a nice woman help cash me out. I decided to finally sign up for GT VIP mailing list and took a leaflet on how to do it. She was nice. I paid, got my goodies, and wished her a good day. I realize that this visit was my first at any Giant Tiger in Mississauga. I tend to visit GT stores in Etobicoke, Scarborough, and Stouffville the most. It's nice that I'm doing the GT tour these days. I had a great experience here. I'd return when I'm in the neighbourhood again. (105)

While in Cambridge, I decided to search for a Giant Tiger close by. I found this one in the heart of downtown Cambridge. I decided to check it out. I did street parking. You can park for free for two hours between 9 am and 6 pm Monday through Saturday. I knew that all I wanted were avocados. I took a risk and parked at a fifteen-minute stand, which was steps away from Giant Tiger. Otherwise, there is a large parking lot across the street. I don't know whether you need to pay for parking over there, though. The downside to being in this area are panhandlers. One asked for spare change. I rarely have change on me these days. I asked him whether he would like an iced pistachio oat latte that I hadn't touched. He passed. Well, I tried. I walked into the store. You need to pull two door handles to get inside. I was immediately greeted with bins of pillows. The satin pillow with a piece of satin fabric sewn onto the pillow intrigued me. So, you don't put a pillow case on it and just throw it in the wash when it gets dirty? It seems weird. There was a female greeter sitting on a chair. We exchanged hellos. I don't normally look at clothing these days, but this store does have some nice, cheerful blouses. They looked nice and stopped me in my tracks. I found my avocados. Giant Tiger sells six of them for well under $3. I use them in my smoothies and mousses, and it's the best bang for your loonie. The grocery section was decent. I saw lots of produce and fruit. The baking items were well-stocked. I tried to tear myself away from the snacks. There are snacks in the grocery area and by the cashout area. Deadly! This store has humungous plushies. The penguin and octopus ones made me think that perhaps I could have them ride in my car and use the HOV lane. I needed AA batteries. My work laptop's trackpad decided to die for a bit on Friday. My authoring application requires a left-click, hold, and drag of a file from one window to another. I know, complicated, right? It wouldn't work! I hauled out my cordless mouse that I haven't used in a year and the AA battery died. My Roku remote also takes AA batteries and that died, too. Just my luck! Anyway, this Giant Tiger had an economy pack of Energizer AA batteries. Without any thought, I picked one up. There were two cashiers staffed. I got a friendly young woman. She asked me if I needed a bag. I declined. I was parked so close and only had two items that I didn't need one. I paid with a debit card. Easy peasy. I thanked her and left with my purchases. It's a decent Giant Tiger store that spruces up the downtown area. If you live downtown, it's great to pick up groceries and get your shopping fix on. I'd come back again. Just beware of panhandlers.

My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when I looked at how much the prices were for canned tuna. The cheapest can was going for $4.40. Um, no. I need cheaper. I remembered that this Dollarama store was in the same plaza. I'd try my luck for canned tuna here. I frankly don't know why it took me so long to visit this store. I am in this plaza for Kettleman's Bagels and Farm Boy. I can add this store to the mix. This Dollarama is probably the largest one that I've ever been to. It was spacious and inviting. Halloween and Fall decor merchandise hit me when I first walked through the doors. I was on a mission to get canned tuna, so I walked the food, beverage, and candy aisles. They were easy to find and nicely organized. I found my cans of tuna. $1.25 for a can was definitely better than what I saw at Farm Boy. I saw Pasta Roni next to the canned tuna section. It intrigued me. Too bad I didn't see Rice a Roni. I would have freaked out even more by belting out the jingle. The beverages at this store were great. I saw everything from Gatorade to kombucha. This store has Bai and a huge assortment of pop, too. I need to return and try Ocean Spray's diet cranberry. It was my first time spotting it. I had a competent, friendly man at the checkout. He was relaxed and nice. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I had a reusable bag with me. I stuffed it with my purchases, thanked the man, and headed to my car. The canned tuna worked out well for the two recipes that I had. Save some money by getting your canned goods here. I'm so glad that I dropped by. I'll be back. (447)
