Horray for suburb malls. I forgot that they have cheaper jeans…read more I got a pair of jeans, and a hoodie 50% off! They don't have a jeans hemming service included, but most stores don't, anyways. The zipper on the hoodie feels a bit weak, but it's been OK for 2 months so far. The fabric is sturdy cotton fine knit, not the kind that overstretches, and I'm happy with my purchase!

While there are many "cheap" (in terms of quality) dollar stores, one thing that really sets…read moreDollarama apart is the quality of their goods. The things purchased from this chain generally don't fall apart in a week. The stuff here easily lasts months, if not years. In my books, this is what sets Dollarama apart from the rest of them, including direct competitor Dollar Tree. Very convenient location for a dollar store in this part of town. Parking is available in the nice large Scottsdale Centre parking lot. The location is a decent size, and selection seems to be slightly better than some other (smaller) ones I've visited in the past. Special mention goes to electronic section. Their $3 mobile phone cables work as good at their $20-30 counterparts. Yes, I tested them properly. Another special mention goes to their tool section. The stuff here is less than 1/3 that of the competition, but in many cases it's the exact same product, right down to the packaging. Recommended.

This Shoppers is quite new and very clean inside. Everything is very well stocked. The isles are wide and is quite nice to walk in. They have frozen veggies here along with milk and cheese. I came here to buy sunscreen and they had the ones on sales in stock. Not bad.

This is a newer Shoppers since it was built recently in the developing River District community. I…read morereally like this location because the store is very clean with tidy shelves and well-organized products. The employees are always really nice whenever we visit. Another bonus is that there aren't many people shopping here yet, but I'm sure this will change once the rest of the River District residential units are built in the future.

Marigold Collective is not your usual, run-of-the-mill type of store. From the store's official…read morewebsite, it is a "social enterprise dedicated to the social and economic empowerment of women. We partner with women-focused Artisan Cooperatives in developing countries to provide market access for their high quality products. Our goal is to support women in their effort to overcome poverty and to being able to provide a sustainable livelihood for their families while preserving heritage craft traditions". Once you enter the small shop, you're transported away to exotic places. You're surrounded by beautiful handwoven baskets, shawls and scarves made from saris, handwoven totes, handmade soaps and candles, jewelry made from bullet casings, and more. The fabrics and goods are all in luscious colors, with amazing feel, and harken to various cultures and peoples. Portions of proceeds from sales go back to the women and girls who produce thee goods, in Cambodia, the Philippines, Guatemala and elsewhere. Their fair trade policies ensure the store supports women and artisans live a decent life by ensuring a fair wage for the goods, and it helps preserve various cultures' ancient ways of creating textiles and art. In other words, this is one of those places where you can feel good spending your money here. I wish I had taken some photos in the store, but my friend and I were chatting with the woman who works here about the store's business philosophy and merchandise. I really encourage readers to check out the store website to get a good idea of the beautiful items for sale here, and to read more about the business model and intent. Check it out!

Placed an online order which unfortunately I wasn't able to pick up afterall. In the confirmation…read moreemail it says if an item wasn't picked up within 7 business days a reversal of charges will be automatically initiated, but when that didn't happen I called the store to request a refund. Staff was initially VERY reluctant to help, saying it's going to take a month (!) for the refund to be processed and suggested I go into the store instead blah x 3. Anyway I insisted and eventually got my money back in about two weeks. Not too impressed with the service to be honest.

Super friendly. My mom got her booster shot for Covid here. I called to ask them if they had the…read moreflu shot available for walk-in and they said they did. If I waited for the other 2 Safeway pharmacies, I would have had to wait until mid November. Quick and efficient. You just have to fill in a form, listen to a quick spiel, get the shot, and wait 5-10 minutes to make sure you're okay to leave. Parking's a bit annoying due to the subway construction. But there are free 2 hr parking spots around if you look for them or parking meter's all around. And as a last resort there's also underground parking available at Shoppers.

China Imports carries my favourite handmade gem in Vancouver: a GIANT incredibly detailed jade ship…read morecarved by hand. Why it's hidden at the back I'm not sure (safety? Too big to steal!), but it gives me tingles every time I see it. Such a massive treasure comes unexpected in the rundown-ish import shop with pretty things like painted vases, wooden carved chests, nicknacks and whatnot. Random location, plain store (uber plain... doesn't showcase their treasures well) but the secret ship makes up for it all! : )
