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)

You have to cut through a couple of parking lots to get here, as the lot is bounded by a set of railroad tracks.

The stuff isn't particularly classy or high-end, but gets the job done if that's what you're looking for.

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)

For sentimental reasons, my rating is three stars. The state of Portage Place these days is truly a two-star rating, which is sad. Portage Place is a mall in downtown Winnipeg. I used to work at the Air Canada Building across from it. I visited it often, as my first two jobs in Winnipeg were both downtown. I liked the building's glass design that allowed natural sunlight to shine in. It had a tower with a clock inside. It was nice. The blue trim made this mall unique and modern. I rarely came to work without dinner on an evening or midnight shift, unless we were ordering in or I wanted to fetch dinner for a change. I remember one time heading over to the food court. There was a teriyaki place. I ordered chicken teriyaki on steamed rice. I loved it. I haven't changed much. I still like getting teriyaki with a protein whenever I'm at a food court. When McNally Robinson, a local independent bookstore, decided to branch out, it opened a location at Portage Place. I loved dropping by after work or during a lunch break. Sadly, it's gone, along with many businesses that have shuttered for good over the years. The McNally Robinson at Grant Park Shopping Centre still endures. It's the only one that remains in Winnipeg. The problem is trying to revitalize the downtown area. Eaton's shuttered in the early 2000's. Canada Life Centre replaced it. The flagship Hudson's Bay store has also closed. As cool as it was walking the skywalk to get to these stores, it's not as enjoyable these days because there's nothing to truly look forward to visiting. Branigan's had opened a location in this mall. It was a local chain and I loved dining there. I frequented the St. Vital Mall location more. Sadly, this entire chain is gone, too. I drove by this mall the last time I was in the city. It was a short stay. Part of me wants to see what the mall is like these days. Part of me doesn't because I have fond memories of the mall and I'd probably end up being sad about its current state. I am pleased that Prairie Theatre Exchange is still offering classes and has performances on the third floor. I look forward to checking it out. The anchor store at this mall is Dollarama. It's weird saying it. However, I'm glad that there is an anchor store! There is underground parking. It's heated in the wintertime. I am glad that this mall is still around, but it's such a shame that many stores have shuttered over the years. (133)

Stores have left, Imax theater and the Globe Cinema. Many store fronts are empty or up for lease for long periods of time. Some spaces are converted into offices. There is very little of a shopping experience in Portage Place. So if you are looking for shopping, I suggest you go elsewhere. There is Staples, florist, Shoppers Drug Mart, Dollarama, Ardenes, Suzy Shier, Stitches, fair weather, payless, few cell phone companies, Bentleys, few random pop up shops and a place to buy sporting memoribla. The food court has variety of fast food places from taco bell, east indian buffet, pita pit, fish and chips, thai, A and W and a pizza place to name a few. Decent size seating area of hard plastic seats. There is plenty of mall security around. This is due to recent violent incidents, a high occurance of theft, loitering & people being solicited for drugs in food court. The only good thing about this mall is Prairie Theater Exchange. This puts on a fantastic season every year and a must see.

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?
