Sierra is a great store. You can find many sporting good items at a much lower price than Amazon,…read moreDicks, REI or Cabellas. I often like to buy socks and water bottles here. In the past, we've had good luck finding larger items here too, like snowboarding gear and even a Yakima Sky Box (large lockable box we take camping for extra car storage). I've always received excellent service at checkout. Even when the lines are long, I've been able to check out quickly from a friendly cashier. Keep up the great work, Sierra!

The service was really good. They were stocking the shelves and were busy with getting stuff out. I…read morethink the only thing I had an issue with is accessibility to some of the aisles that were blocked or had to go in from the other side. But they have an amazing selection of great stocking stuffers and the value of their items is exceptional. I mean the prices were really good for a lot of items. I was surprised and Ben did an amazing job ringing us up at the register. He did it with a smile and was super professional. Hands down to Ben and his professionalism and got me to sign up for Sierra Rewards. So Bonus for him! Got a nice backpack out of that trip too. Thanks Sierra for doing a wonderful job

Okay. Today's topic is oral hygiene. More specifically, flossers for your teeth…read more Up and Up Floss Picks vs Oral B Glide Floss Picks: Which one is better? Up and Up by a landslide. Here's why: Up and Up is a Target brand. Oral B is not. With that said, oral hygiene is important, and flossing one's teeth is very important to me. Which brand is the best out of these two? Well, it's not Oral B. I ran out of the Up and Up brand flosser, and went to Target to get more. Lo and behold, they were out of that brand, so I bought the Oral B brand instead. Um no. It took nine of the Oral B brand flossers to floss all my teeth because they kept on breaking vs one Up and Up brand flosser. Bottom line, don't waste your money on Oral B Flossers. Dang it Target, you win again. My teeth thank you.

I was buying items that needed security tags removed and it took about 15 minutes to checkout with only 2 people in front of me. The cashier was really nice though.

This location is a bit different from what I remember, but they have lots of familiar things: there's an extensive selection of items for your household, including some scores for bakers and coffee lovers. Hello, silicone molds and cute baking cups! There are tons of options for silverware and dish ware, plus really cute glassware and mugs. Athletes will find yoga mats, resistance bands, and small items for your home workout. Into health and beauty? They've got you covered with applicators, sheet masks, and body scrubbers (if you've been to Korea, you know what I mean). I was delighted to discover that they have a respectable selection of stationery, including cute notebooks, fun puzzle erasers, and even a few fun sticky notes. This is a great place to come if you need to stock your dorm room, grab some art supplies, or fill a gift basket for the niblings at a reasonable price. Well-organized Grand Opening weekend, too, thanks to the great staff. Thanks, Daiso!

I was parked fairly close to Kohl's at Maplewood Mall. After doing some major damage at FYE, I…read moredecided to call my shopping excursion a day and headed to my car. I cut through Kohl's to get there. It may have been the first time that I have visited a Kohl's and didn't buy a thing. I probably shopped so such at various Kohl's stores throughout the Twin Cities on this vacation that I was good by the time I hit this store. I like when Kohl's is attached to a mall. You can enter and exit the store without going through the mall. This store does not have a built-in Sephora. However, it does have a number of strengths. I like the clearance section for women's clothing. It is next to the Croft & Barrow clothing. The clearance section has some decent deals if you enjoy finding gems and heavily reduced prices. I am such a fan of small kitchen appliances. I spent quite some time looking at the PowerXL stuffed wafflizer. You can stuff waffles with whatever fillings you'd like. It looked insane, but it intrigued me. The Hallmark section is a staple at all Kohl's stores. This one is no different. Valentine's Day merchandise was out in early January, featuring Snoopy. I didn't really need another puffy coat or jacket. This store had long, light puffy coats that looked nice. It would have been cool if each one had a two-way zipper on it. I feel that my expectations were set way too high here. Kohl's tends to have sales all the time. The deals are great, including the ones at this store when I was there. Curbside pickup is also available. You head over to customer service to fetch your order. It's a clean store. I enjoyed browsing around. Whenever I'm back in Maplewood, I'd drop by this store again and perhaps buy something before I hit FYE! (37)

After shopping at Five Below, I put my purchases in my rental car and headed to this TJ Maxx that…read morewas next door. I like that two of my favourite stores are next to each other. My favourite TJ Maxx store is in St. Louis Park. I now have this one to add to my list. First, this store had four Kipling bags. It's a win these days if you can find one. The handbag and luggage section is amazing. I ended up with Mickey and Minnie luggage tags. You can never have enough tags when you travel often. I've been into frothers lately. They are great at home and on the road when you are mixing powdered drinks. I found one that charges with a USB cable. It also has both frother and whisk attachments, which are cool. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen accessories section. You can get everything from a mini hand chopper to an assortment of reusable straws. I got a mini ice cubes tray. Making mini ice cubes seemed like fun. It is! If you love Hello Kitty merchandise, this store is for you. It had Hello Kitty-branded hairbrushes, makeup mirrors, cosmetic bags, luggage tags, and more. I like looking at lip balms and glosses. This store had so many. Oreo. Jello. Hershey's. Fruity Pebbles. EOS. Burt's Bees. The assortment was incredible. I briefly looked at the clothing sections. If you are looking for affordable clothing to support your favourite Minnesota sports team, shop here. I saw hoodies, t-shirts, and more. The phone accessories section makes me happy. It's typically by the checkout area at any TJ Maxx. This store didn't disappoint. There wasn't a huge lineup to pay for my items. The woman that I got at the checkout was competent and nice. I paid with a credit card. I tapped my card and all was great. She placed my items in a plastic bag. I thanked her and happily left the store. There was plenty of parking in front of this store on a Friday evening. It's a great store. I'll be back. (419)

Only down side is they open earlier and therefore close earlier than other TJ Maxx stores. I'm guessing it's due to the theft/crime the area has been experiencing. Very sad. Regardless, I hope this store stays open and doesn't close like many others have in the area. It's really a well-managed store!

This is hands down my favorite Costco. It's always fully stocked with a great selection, well-run,…read moreand the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. If you know what to look for, they have amazing deals on wine/liquor, easily some of the best value around. Over the last year, they really upped their game in the bakery department, and especially great for hosting or having extra treats on hand. One heads-up about the parking lot: if you're getting gas, don't try to cross at the main stop sign. There's a much easier way to loop left and come around the back, which saves a lot of time and frustration. Once you know it, it's a game changer. I also love getting gas here because the savings really add up. Pro tip: use the Costco app. It makes things quicker and helps you keep track of deals. They also regularly have great gift card deals like (Uber, Top Golf, local restaurants), usually $15-25 off, which is an easy win. Plus their pharmacy is always way cheaper than I've found elsewhere. Busy like any Costco, but worth it every time.

I enjoy stopping in and just taking a walk around the store, it is very clean laid out and tranquil. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a look see for yourself, you won't be disappointed unless you are expecting typical thrift store items and pricing.
