[Free city wide delivery is also a bonus now that Mom has moved out, as she can have them delivered during the day instead of waiting for us to be off work to get them to her] Their brand name products are as good as the Big Name stuff most of the time, especially their bags of chips, which have been full of flavour and quality. [That's a hard one for a lot of house brands and generics] They have a good selection of most things you would want for household and personal and frequent sales make loading up economical. [I am not afraid to say that when their Rexall Facial Tissue goes on sale, I will literally buy an entire case [36-48 depending on tissue count] because each box is so dirt cheap. And heck, when you have a family, buying big cheap is a bonus. It will last several months and by the time we are about to run out, it is back on sale again!] A lot of the every day stuff goes on a sale often enough that it beats the grocery stores. Also, a pretty good selection of Hallmark cards are available for every occasion, which is also by their seasonal section featuring solid buys as well. A mainstay post office in the back, beside the Pharmacy, also makes having to ship off packages or pick up a breeze.

I love London Drugs. It is a western Canadian company. Its lone store in Manitoba is at St. Vital…read moreShopping Centre in Winnipeg. What exactly is London Drugs? It's not just a drugstore. It has houseware, electronics, cosmetics, and a small number of grocery items. I drop by this store whenever I am in town. There is plenty of parking at this mall. I walked into the mall and London Drugs was staring at me. It's next to a sushi restaurant, which I have flagged. I recall the RBC ATM at London Drugs. It was modern, but only allowed cash withdrawals. It is by the store entrance, on the right when you're walking in.. I immediately hit the cosmetics section. I loved all the nail polish and lipsticks. The selection of brands and colours was great. I got lost in housewares. I love small appliances. I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, it has everything from frying pans, to hot dog toasters and steamers. I wanted to get the Peanuts hot dog steamer, but didn't know how to bring that back on a plane! I love this store's electronic section. I love looking at laptops and accessories. There was also an extensive DVD section and I hope that it's still there. The electronic section is in the far left corner when you walk through the store entrance. Next to this section is the cell phone and television area, where you can get them and accessories. It's a cool place to be. It was summertime. Naturally, I had to look at food-shaped pool floats. The chocolate-covered pretzel pool float looked pretty cool. I ended up getting two huge bottles of Minions banana Tic Tac candies. They were cute and tasted yummy. The cashier who help me out was friendly. There were a couple of people in front of me. The wait wasn't all that long. I do miss this store. I hope to come back to check it out and have some sushi next door. (136)

Tip: Scan your PC Optimum card or barcode to collect points towards free stuff…read more This Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM) is special to me. It was my local drugstore when I lived in Osborne Village. It was across the street from where I lived. This drugstore used to be smaller, with Vi-Ann Restaurant and Movie Village sharing the same building. Sadly, both ended up closing so that SDM could expand. Movie Village permanently closed, likely because renting movies died. Vi-Ann found a new home on Notre Dame Avenue. I got to dine there on this trip and the food was still outstanding. This SDM has two entrances. There's one that faces Osborne Street. I only used it when I was walking along that street, likely after taking the bus home. I used the back entrance more, mainly because it was closer to get to from my apartment and there's parking. Earlier this month, I drove over to this store and backed into a spot. I forgot that it has a set of photos and historic details on the building as you make your way to the back entrance. I appreciated looking at the Osborne Street Bridge being built, which is a bridge that I often walked across to and from downtown Winnipeg. There was a security guard in this store. I don't remember seeing one while I lived in Winnipeg, but it was kind of comforting. This guard didn't follow anyone around, which was nice. I used to get prescriptions at the pharmacy. It was cool seeing it again. I remember getting a refill. I called and my prescription was ready for pickup within a couple of hours. This store has a post office. I didn't need to pick up any packages here because my apartment building was good holding them. However, if I needed to get stamps or mail a package, it was convenient coming here. I came here to get some cold drinks after spending a few hours taking a train between Rosser and Grosse Isle, just north of Winnipeg. I ended up getting a couple of cans of AriZona iced tea. I also got some Lacteeze. I'm borderline lactose-intolerant. It was weird seeing it in a blue box. The packaging was different that the white tall box with a bottle that I'm used to in Markham. I saw glassware that you can get when you collect stamps through PC Optimum purchases. In the greater Toronto area, I had a tough time finding a box of stemware to redeem these stamps. This store had sets for white and red wines. I had thought about grabbing a box and bringing it back. I'd have to carry it onto the plane. I decided not to, in case I dropped the box and the stemware shattered. Self-checkout kiosks weren't a thing when I was last in this store. I went ahead and used one. It was straightforward scanning my items and PC Optimum barcode on my phone. I then paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I grabbed my items and headed to my vehicle. The AriZona green tea was cold and refreshing. It was nice returning after all these years. Although I'm sad that this SDM took down two good businesses to expand, I am glad that it endures, as does Safeway next door. (258)

I have a complaint about one of the female staff that work at the pharmacy of Shoppers drug mart 43…read moreOsborne Winnipeg, I didn't catch her name but if you seen her you would remember, she is Pilipino short and VERY heavy. So anyways this is the problem, one night I was at Wal-Mart on Taylor and was tired and kind of shuffling my feet while walking and I passed by her and her family she was with and she said rather loudly "UGH". As we all know this refers to "caveman" anyways fast forward a couple months later and I am walking in to the Shoppers where she works and she is walking with another employee, she turns to look at me turns away and says something to her fellow employee and they both giggle. Being a frequent customer at that store I don't appreciate it when people are RACIST towards me and I will be elevating this to the owner and showing him some footage i have gathered as I always wear a body cam. 2024 is NOT a year to be openly racist in a small city if you do not wish to be shamed for it...smarten up!
