This new Giant Tiger is a welcome addition to the area in terms of providing household and grocery…read moregoods at affordable prices. I've shopped at a few other Giant Tigers and appreciate their house brand for foods as well as Canadian ownership and pride. For those who do not want to venture to a conventional supermarket or big box store like Walmart, Giant Tiger fits the bill. This store is somewhat similar to Hart which is just a few blocks down the street in the sense that you can find home decorations, clothing, groceries, toys etc at affordable prices. There is a fair selection of non perishable items, frozen food and even fresh meat and dairy. Unfortunately I find many of the items outdated in terms of style, the clothing selection is very basic and a far cry from being fashion forward. You can find all kinds of knick knacks and gift ideas however it certainly does not replace your bigger box stores. I would describe Giant Tiger as a convenience store for all household items.

Decided to stop quickly at Giant Tiger (my first time in one) because there was a huge special on…read more2l soft drinks... on a Saturday afternoon, close to 5pm. The good: Store was clean. Looks modern. Seems to have good specials and items. The bad: Out of specials. What I was looking for, they had no more. And signs showed that their space for this item is very limited. So they would run out quite frequently, which is not a good thing, and made this store for me, not reliable. I will not take Giant Tiger as a shopping option anymore, as it seems they cannot uphold their first page specials. I will only go in there if it happens to be on my way and hope for the best. Sad first Giant Tiger experience.

I stumbled across this business after seing a Facebook ad in my newsfeed. There was a sponsored…read morepost showcasing a range of pictures of items on sale. This liquidation store offers a wide assortement of goods ranging from food, toys, household (bedding, decorations, kitchenware..) clothing and electronics. It is essentially a discount store that sells refurbished items that were normally sold at Costco for example, food that could be close to their best before date, discontinued items, "rejects" and other mistmatched goods. Most items are new and in great, unopened conditions. Other times the packaging could be damaged without affecting the quality of the item. There are many similar liquidation/outlet centers within the city that offer these types of deals, but this particular location caught my eye because they sold things I've never seen elsewhere. For example, they had frozen Mcdonalds chicken nuggets - a 1 kilo bag for 10$, which was roughly 50 nuggets. These are the real thing served at Mcdonalds restaurants and came directly from the supplier. We baked them at home and it was a hit - the whole family loved them! It's a fun place to shop if you want to come often since it's like a treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find. We ended up also buying some cheap Keurig coffee Kcups, chocolates some beauty items and a blanket. Small family run business with great service. If you like finding a deal and are in need of a gift at a good price come here!

This is a good location, right near UQAM. Some of my favorite wine glasses have actually come from the Dollarama and it's also a great place to get greeting cards in French. Additionally, there's a number of drinks and snacks. It is the best place to buy sponges, plastic gloves, dusters and other cleaning products- so cheap. Also, they usually have a good selection of gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper and other things for the holidays. At Halloween, they have cute decor items, some even in French. They now accept Visa (they used to only take cash).

So this Treasure Hunt recently opened up in Cornwall's East Court Shopping Plaza on March 15, 2019…read more The Ides of March! Hopefully no one involved is named Caesar! Lol. Anyway, so I was first introduced to Treasure Hunt at Dixie Mall in Mississauga. It's a big outlet store with everything from clothes and shoes, to toys, housewares, bicycles and tools. In my opinion, a lot of their stuff is junk, but there are hidden gems for those with the time and patience to look. When I was there, they had some Banana Republic dresses for $30. They also had lots of Athleta (the athletic wear brand owned by The Gap) pieces for $4. They also had lots of brands that were of no interest to me though, like George from Walmart and Merona from Target, so I had to wade through those, but hey "treasure hunt" is the name of the game, right? ;) Admittedly, the cool stuff was only in sizes 00-4 and XXS-S, so good for the likes of me, but if you are a larger size, you may not have the same luck. They had lots of discount toys, but most of the boxes were opened or pretty bunged up. I was at the Brockville location a few weeks earlier, and the selection at that store was better in my opinion, and the prices were lower for certain things too. Anyway, if you like outlet/discount/liquidation type stores, then you'll probably like Treasure Hunt. It's definitely not for everyone, lol. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

First time checking this place out and was very excited to see a wide selection of things for the…read morewhole family. Ollie's is a liquidation center where you can find all kinds of brand name items for less. When you first walk, you'll notice a large selection of books and toys. There's also lots of food and household items, some clothes, beauty products, decorations, bedding, electronics, hardware, etc. I found some lovely Yankee Candle large signature candles for $7.99 when they are normally sold full price at $30 at the Yankee store. Things to take note - not everything is a great deal, if you shop at Costco or Sam's Club you may notice similar or cheaper prices there - for example, Kcup coffee pods - not so cheap at Ollie's. In terms of clothing, there's a limited selection, many outdated styles by today's standards. I saw a bunch of genuine leather jackets which looked like they were from the 90's or early 2000s, sold at very low prices (under $20). There are tons of large carpets and rugs on display, ideal if you need to redecorate, also great selection of bathroom towels and matts. It's the kind of place you need to check back often as the stock varies greatly.

Usually clerks in alleys who are there to tell you where things are if you ask. Always at least four cashiers available. Popular place. Lots of parking spaces. The bad: Lots of boxes in alleys unattended, which makes it sometimes difficult to move around. Clerks are no help if you ask about something specific or "if you have any more of this item in the back". You can wait a while at the cash register line (only one line) as people are not quick, or have full carriages of stuff to purchase. Parking can be dangerous on foot (watch your kids). Homeless people hangs out in front of the store. This place is actually clean and well maintained. Too bad the front of the store does not give us that impression.
