Review from Luke A.

Got a pumpkin and buckets of candy here for Halloween for cheap. I had put it off until the day before, and they still had good pumpkins for $3 ($2.50 each if you bought more than five, but how many people buy pumpkins in bulk?). Real Canadian Wholesale stocks mostly groceries (and some household items) at bulk sizes, and gives an extra discount for multiple items. They have a lot of President's Choice and No Name products, in addition to regular name brands, so it's like a dumpier version of No Frills.
Some caveats: first, they don't take credit cards (cash or debit only). I understand that it cuts operating costs if a business isn't paying fees for processing credit card payments, but for a bulk grocery store where I'd be stocking up on crates of foodstuffs, I'd rather pay a touch more (or, conversely, have a cash discount) and have that option. It's especially annoying thanks to the focus on multiple-item discounts.
Second, this is the first place I've been to where the shopping carts take loonies instead of quarters (and they're already the kind that lock up if you try to wheel them outside the parking lot). I can't be the only person who doesn't always have a loonie on him, and there's something vaguely ironic about a discount store with the most expensive cart "rental" around. Or maybe cheapskate shoppers are closet cart thieves. -

I've seen this place go through a few changes. No checked bags, checked bags, no checked bags, and some minor re-configurations.
This place sells cigarettes and cigars. You'd have to have a carton a day habit to buy them here ...
This place is a cross between Costco and No Frills. You can buy stuff in bulk packaging or in singles.
Prices are in the No Frills range, or slightly higher. You can find many food supply type merchandise like:
-take out containers
-industrial size sauces
-industrial size oil
-slushie syrup (mmmm slishies....)
There are many sections in this store
-House wares
-Kitchen
-Auto
-Candy (yes that counts in my book)
-Food (produce, meats, etc..)
-Drinks
Is this my go to store?
No. Its No Frills. But this store is close, and hits the spot when i feel lazy, or i need something quick. It does have some nice specials though that change frequently.
