But as far as dollar stores go, this one has a big selection. I don't know how dollar stores get their merchandise, but I'll be looking into it. I found Colgate toothpaste (the good kind) for $1 here. There's your regular assortment of cheap crap that will break in two days, but if you're a dollar store enthusiast, you should give this place a try. A hundred angry middle-aged women looking for deals with baskets in their arms can't be wrong....

They are especially good at stocking items for special events like Christmas, Halloween, Easter and any other holiday events. Some items may be a little cheaply made so you have to be discriminating. Never overly crowded and lots of parking but you have to pay. The staff are fairly friendly and helpful. Also, they are very efficient. The lineups move along quite well. It's amazing how much money you can save versus buying regular retail. I mostly buy in the children's area, housewares, snacks, special events aisles when available and stationery supplies. Would recommend if you like saving money.

#158 Yeah, I know…read more It's called Dollarama which implies things that cost a $ or multiples of a $. However, based on the current economy, not many items besides bland everyday greeting cards are a $ (but it is the thought that counts, right?). That being said, there are many products between a $.50 and 3$ that are a good buy. I personally like the smoky coloured Coca-Cola glasses and other coloured glassware from the kitchen department, micro-usb cables (when they are not out), hangars for clothes (somehow no matter many I buy, they just vanish in the closet like socks in a dryer), and office supplies (good place for pens and paper) including extension cords, small tools, and power bars. I forgot to mention one of the better places to get last minute party supplies! Cleanup on aisle 3, wait, the micro-fiber towels are not there but a couple of aisles over (huge selection in automotive). And since I need to clean up other messes, good place for Band-Aids, q-tips, toothpaste (Arm & Hammer sensitive), and other items of a hygienic nature. I like this location since it has lots o parking even on the weekend and it is larger than most including the one near Sunridge Mall and the one on Denman Street in Vancouver's West End. I usually troll once a week to see what new products they have. It is my escape; sad, I know. The friendliness and service can be hit or mess but this is Canada so this is expected. Add to that, about 25% of the time, the product is the same price or cheaper elsewhere.

There was also a very helpful staff member in the aisle.I found a discrepancy between my calculation and the amount I was being charged but the person who seemed to be the evening manager was condescending and not at all willing to hear my complaint. I estimated the total to be around $23 and I was asked to pay $30 and change. He told me I didn't know how to add so I pulled out my calculator and as I added the items on the screen, he deleted it, but I was able to finish the calculation and showed it to him. He told me he was not willing to ring my purchase through again so I left. I hope he gets some lessons in customer service. Luckily there many other dollar stores in Calgary.

This particular location is like most - packed full of stuff all at reduced prices. There are genuinely good deals here - and even better ones if you can find them in the clearance section. The nice thing too is that things are constantly changing in here, so its fun to explore the aisles and discover things. You can find just about anything to decorate your home here. If you like to stroll the aisles and look at stuff - hunting out a bargain then Homesense is for you. Lots of parking out front.

Can't imagine what doing inventory here is like, but they have a really appealing and well rounded shop. Loved it!

I took a long walk around Calgary yesterday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and I wasn't…read moreabout to miss it. Interesting people were out, cute dogs were being walked by their owners, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Part of my stroll was down the "hip" Uptown area of 17th Avenue. What drew me into Steeling Home from my walk was an on sale desk fan that was displayed outside on a cute antique table. The price was right, but I knew darn well that it would be hard to get it in the suitcase for my eventual trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I might still change my mind on that.... Anyway, I decided to stroll around inside and really enjoyed exploring the many pockets of interesting stuff this relatively small store holds. It has books, antiques, jewelery, and much more in-between. The people watching was fun too, with a fresh touch of Portlandia thrown in. I'm glad I stopped in and reminded myself that marching around a new City is fun, and stopping to explore some of its quirks is even better.

But I stayed because of their massive selection of Fair Trade handicrafts from around the globe. Well, that's not exactly true - I stayed because I didn't want to look like some freeloader crashing their party. But is exactly true that my desire to keep up appearances gave me more than ample time to peruse their wares. Ten Thousand Villages is located in an old 3-story house and has a great selection of jewellery, servingware, statues, and other home décor global treasures. They are also quick to refill the complimentary coffee pots, which is a bonus. I guess they care as much for their customers as they do for the native artisans that they represent. The coffee with a conscience being served up here is flavourful and fortunately available for purchase upstairs.

All that my gut was telling me when looking around was that most of what's there would be clutter in my house, which was a little disappointing. It would be cool and interesting clutter, but clutter nonetheless. The variety of products in this sizable store is impressive and they do sell tea, coffee, etc., but I would never make a special trip here just for that. Being that Christmas is coming, it's a good place to buy unique ornaments and stocking stuffers. If I were to break down and purchase something I don't need, it would be one of their beautiful handmade purses or a pair of gloves. 29/30 for Yelp's 30 Day Challenge
