The original discount store.
I love this place! The selection of camping equipment is diverse and reasonably priced, it's a great place to pick up cheap luggage, and they have many name brand clothes (and by "name brand" I mean brands that are recognizable, not high-end name brands :P) for much less than you'll find in the department stores. Their outdoor clothing selection is very rugged and priced reasonably as well, and it's a great source for steel-toed boots too.
My favourite part of the entire store is that you can find a great selection of authentic NHL licensed clothing and merchandise for very cheap, much cheaper compared to places like FanAttic and Jersey City. My favourite team is the Calgary Flames, and you can find Flames branded touques, socks, gloves, hats, jerseys (of the older variety), scarves, pajama pants, boxers, ear muffs, and more all in one place. They have other teams as well, but the best part is they're priced much lower than the competition.
I'm not a shoe guy, but my female friends tell me that they have a killer shoe sale here once or twice a year as well, with many recognizable brand names. I don't know much about shoe brands, but they're recognizable enough that females from all over the city will drive down to the NE and fight one another for them (although to be honest, I'm not sure if that's more because of the brand names, or the fact that the shoes are simply cheap).
When I was younger, my mom and her sisters would buy their nursing scrubs here, and my dad and his friends would purchase steel toed boots, mechanic overalls, and other things of that nature.
Army & Navy's a department store with a little something of everything, so if you're in search of a good bargain, you should definitely check this place out. -

When I drove into the parking lot of the Army & Navy store, I was staring at a building that looked like a huge warehouse. I was surprised to find a Zellers equivalent with a much better selection of camping equipment.
The main floor is full of housewares, some grocery items and camping gear. Tents, coolers, even a mini meat-smoker. I want one!
Upstairs is men's, ladies' and kids wear. There were rows upon rows of racks and shelves with a full selection of clothing and footwear. I helped myself to a new pair of rubber boots, turquoise with watermelon slices on them. My first pair of fashion rubber boots. Whoopie!
It was a fun spot to explore for a few minutes. I think I'll be back for that meat-smoker.Listed in: On a budget?, Calgary Department Stores

Our office used to be so close to this store, I could always find great deals and some unique items. Although it's a bit more of a trek now, it's worth the drive!
