Even when we (my wife and I) were going to purchase, the service was poor. We were ignored. It was not busy.

The real test was a question regarding a grill that was not purchased at Luxe. No help was offered. The same question directed at another business produced a wealth of information. We did not make a new purchase here, and we will not go back to this business in future.

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)

Whenever I am vacationing in a Canadian city, I end up declaring a Winners as my go-to store during…read moremy stay. In Winnipeg, it was this location on Pembina Highway, near the University of Manitoba. It's in a plaza that I used to frequent eons ago. It was nice to head back here a few times during my stay. There is plenty of parking in front of this store. I always found a spot steps away from the main entrance. This store carried the light line of Kipling bags. I saw a nice backpack. The downside to this light line is that it doesn't make certain pockets padded for your laptop. I still like my Kipling backpack with padding. It's still lightweight. This store also had Kipling handbags. They were nice, but were too small for my needs. The PopSockets section was great. I ended up getting a ramen one, which I am currently using. I also got a clear MagSafe one, which is cool changing things up. I managed to get a couple of small Squishmallows at great prices here. I got a frog and a beaver. I am looking at them right now. Adorable! Last summer, I got a tongue cleaner at a Winners in Ottawa. This store in Winnipeg had stainless steel ones. They don't compare to the copper ones that I bought in Ottawa for both my dad and me. Copper is great. The plastic ones also do the trick to keep your tongue clean. I find that the stainless steel ones don't do as great of a cleaning job. There's my review on tongue cleaners from Winners. Bonus content. Enjoy! I saw some cute mushroom lamps. It would have been nice to have brought back one, but it wasn't lightweight. The kitchen accessories were cool to look at. I loved everything from training chopsticks, to pineapple-shaped ice buckets. The shoe section was decent. I liked seeing a bunch of size 11 footwear for women. The Crocs with fuzzy lining looked hideous. I bet that they felt great wearing them! Staff at the checkout were super nice and helpful. I never had any issues having my TJX Canada STYLE+ barcode scanned from my phone. I paid with either a debit or credit card. All went well. It was nice shopping here a handful of times. It's a good store. (305)

You can't always win when you shop at Winners. It really is hit or miss. When you shop here, make…read moresure you're in the right mood to spend time sifting through items. If you're in a hurry, you aren't going to find what you're looking for. Check back often because items are always changing. Make sure to try things on. There are so many different brands here that everything will fit in a different way. Its a great place to find designer items like Michael Kors and Calvin Klein at discount prices. Also a great place to find one-of-a-kind pieces as well. Winners isn't only about clothes, either. They have accessories, shoes and great home decor. I've purchased many picture frames, blankets and pillows for my apartment decor at great prices.

Tip: Mall entrance 5 is the closest one to the store…read more I was recently at Winnipeg Outlet Collection. It was my first time parked in front of mall entrance 5, which gets you to the food court. I wasn't here to eat, as I had just had lunch. Rather, I wanted to check out the Gap Factory Store, which is next door to the food court. Nearby was this Roots store. I saw a 30% sale sign, so I had to check it out. I liked seeing the classic Roots logo on t-shirts and more. It's how I was first introduced to this brand. I liked various t-shirts, canvas bags, drinkware, and caps that I saw. Sadly, none of them were truly on sale. The beaver plushies were discounted. I got a couple of them a few months back that I didn't feel the need to add to my collection. I liked the lightweight sling bags and fanny packs. They would be perfect for travel or simply running errands. I enjoyed browsing around. The sale wasn't spectacular, but I was pleased seeing beaver plushies on sale. (292)

It occupies the former Sears store's bedding and bed department. It was my first time visiting a Uniqlo store that wasn't in the greater Toronto area. I will say that I liked the local designers who created a Winnie the Pooh and Piglet t-shirt, to honour this city, and a hockey t-shirt. I wanted to get these t-shirts. The price point made me think twice about it. As much as I want to support local, paying $40 a t-shirt felt like a lot of money to shell out. I only own a t-shirt, underwear, and a lightweight puffy coat from Uniqlo. I am a fairly new customer. I do love what I own. The pieces are comfortable. I also bought these pieces when they were on sale and I had a coupon through signing up for the company's mailing list. I liked the moon-shaped crossbody bags. They look comfortable, lightweight, and practical. I saw a pair of lightweight denim shorts that looked comfortable. I will see if they ever go on sale. The same goes with their linen pants and tops. It was nice perusing this store. It was great seeing the space that Sears once occupied has this Uniqlo doing steady business here. (284)

On Sunday, I was in Transcona after I had landed at the airport. I was in the area for lunch. Afterwards, I needed to get some drinks and food. I did a search for a drugstore and got this Rexall. It was straightforward finding it. There was lots of parking. I pulled into a parking spot and walked in. Purses and scarves greeted me. I got to the beauty section. I noticed a female security guard. I didn't think that this area needed one. I saw a female customer standing at the Canada Post counter. Another female shopper and I looked at the hours of operation. It closed at 4 pm on Sundays. It was closer to 4:30 pm, so we let the woman know that she should come back tomorrow. It's the kind of gesture that I have missed being away from Winnipeg. Everyone helps everyone. It's nice. I found the pop section. I didn't see the sale price that should have been on the six-pack bottles of Coke and Pepsi products. I decided to get a case of twelve cans of pop instead. Well, on the other side of the freezers, there were more six-pack bottles and I saw the sale price that I had expected. I wish that this price was posted in both areas. I put away the case and got two six-pack bottles of Diet Coke. I also got a box of M&M Food Market cabbage rolls from the freezer that were $6 off. I also got a bottle of water for my travel humidifer. I got to the checkout. I got Tammy, who was terrific. She let me know that I could redeem $20 towards my purchase. I said yes. I paid $2 for my items. Sweet! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. She asked me if I needed a bag. I was fine hauling my four items to my rental vehicle. I thanked her and left with my goods. I put away my items when I got to my vehicle. I brought an insulated bag, so the cabbage rolls went in there. My other reusable bag was perfect for my bottled water. I liked shopping here. I'd return again when I'm in Transcona. (281)

This store is at St Vital Centre. It's a few stores down from London Drugs. If you like Squishmallows, or Hello Kitty and Friends merchandise, this store has a ton. It's awesome! I finally saw its display of Dubai chocolate bars. Cool! Devices to cool you down during a heatwave were being heavily marketed while I was in this store. I liked the neck fan and fans that hold a block of ice. What caught my attention was a Squishmallows crochet kit. I could knit a frog and stuff it. I decided to get it. The woman at the checkout counter was friendly and great. She asked for my phone number associated with my Showcase Insider account. She found me and let me know that I had $5 off this purchase. Yay! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I placed this kit in my paper bag with handles. I thanked her and left. I have started watching the video on how to crochet this frog. It's rather lengthy at over an hour in length, but the instructions are clear so far. It was great shopping here. I'd return again when I'm at this mall. (248)
