I love this Canadian chain so much that I had to check this store out. It's an older store. It's also different. A CIBC ATM machine greeted me. It was my first seeing any ATM at a Giant Tiger store. Produce appeared in front of me. I saw a bag of pears. I decided to get one. This store has a decent variety of plushies. There were Squishmallows and Sesame Street plushies at decent prices. I ended up getting a Cookie Monster plushie that screamed cute. The grocery section was nice. The produce looked great. I loved the variety of apples in bags. The cases of ramen made me happy. You know you're in Winnipeg when you can get a Winnipeg Jets zamboni coin bank. It was cool to see. I almost got one. This store was different. It had a purified water centre in the back of the store. It was busy! I paid for my items at a self-checkout kiosk. I had no problem entering my phone number associated with my VIP rewards, scanning my items, and paying for them with a credit card. The transaction went smoothly. What I found weird was seeing all the cheap clothing as I exited the store. Shouldn't it be after you enter the store?! If you need a pay phone, there's an MTS one just before you exit the store. The pears were yummy. I actually brought a couple of them back on the plane because the bag had a generous number of them. They held up nicely. It's an older store. I like its quirkiness. It did have items that I wanted and needed. I'd return when I'm in the area again. (272)

Why do you not want to deal with a potential safety issue for your customers? I rather drive to another location than shop here!

You have to cut through a couple of parking lots to get here, as the lot is bounded by a set of railroad tracks. Parking is plentiful out front, but try not to freeze to death when walking between the lot and store in the winters. Inventory and variety are both plentiful here. The stuff isn't particularly classy or high-end, but gets the job done if that's what you're looking for.

Everything I go to walmart no matter which one it is they come up to me while I'm checking out using self checkout and say something along the lines of "can I bother you for a second" this time I flat out said I'm not interested in a credit card before she even asked. At least this person dropped it. Usually though these,employees will keep pestering you and trying to convince you that you need it. Literally, I don't. There are better ones out there. My mum made the mistake of agreeing to it, and it's so bad. I tend to avoid walmart just because they bug you about their stupid credit card, I stopped going to cashiers because of this, so don't come up to me at the self checkout to ask. If I wanted oen I'd get one. Walmart is so irritating for this. Now to this location in general, l, nice location handy to have right in the mall which I usually end up at either before or after the movie. This location is semi organised and can usually find what I'm looking for. The sad thing is that they don't carry many plus sizes in their clothing, so my sibling can't get anything in her size. Grocery wise, this store isn't any better than any of the other stores. It's all around the same price, not really a good value unless it's on sale, which even then is it, tho?

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)

We drove home from Winnipeg to Ste. Anne Mb about 50 Km. and park the car in our garage. Please note that we have a 2018 Nissan Rouge and it does not have any low oil pressure gauge. Early next morning we left for Thompson Mb and stopped in Moosehorn about and hour and an half north of Winnipeg for gas, when we heard noise coming from under the hood. We found oil all over the engine and under the hood . There was no oil on the dip stick. Called Canadian Tire the person at the other was very understanding of our problem . We found the cap under the hood and were able to get the right oil in Ashern. After waiting 6 hours for a tow truck, we decided to get on the road again to Winnipeg were they kept the car inside over night and clean everything up the next morning. Now they say our next oil change is free but would you go back, when they should have given us our money back for that oil change? Please note they did pay for our hotel and the oil we purchase and taxi fares. we also found oil on our garage floor when we got back home,

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)

The…read moreForks was easily near the top, as we are both obsessed with food markets, ever since we went to Bolhão Market and Timeout Market in Porto and Lisbon respectively. We went here on our first day. We had been trudging through the downtown trying to find good places to eat and chill, and when we finally found The Forks Market, it was a much needed solace from the both the summer heat and the quiet of downtown. We walked in and we were immediately amazed. This place has so much food variety, as expected from being a food market in Canada. I spied a pizza place, a Sri Lankan food spot, a taco store, and so much more. I could've spent my entire trip eating here as there were so many options. We tried the several spots: - From Habanero Sombrero, we tried three tacos: one shrimp, one fish, and one beef. They were all stellar. - We tried some Thai dumplings from an Asian spot and it was amazing. I've never had peanut flavoured sauce in dumplings before so it was a nice find! - We tried beverages from Fools and Horses. We enjoyed the drinks we got (I got a chai drink and a tea drink on multiple occasions). My boyfriend wasn't a fan of the matcha. The food here is all very affordable and there's a variety of savoury and sweet places if you wanted to get dessert after your meal. The upper floor mainly has shops (the lower floor has a few shops too, such as a candy store and a souvenir shop). The shops on the other hand are a little pricey for me but they do offer tons of goods that feel very Canadian/Winnipeg. There's a sitting place upstairs if you can't find a place to eat downstairs, or if you want to lounge around. I was overall very ecstatic to spend time in this market, so much so that I went again the following day. I would highly recommend this as a stop if you're ever in Winnipeg.

Maybe I'm just used to the price gouging that occurs in Vancouver. My friend bought two gorgeous dresses for less than $150, both of which were great finds. I ended up buying a pair of socks from Blue Q and a nice pair of black bamboo leggings for less than $40. If you love dresses and unique clothing, definitely shop local at Out of the Blue!
