1. The Organic Box
My fiancé has been getting deliveries from the Organic Box for the last month and a half or so. The two of us cook together often and we end up ordering for the both of us.
The food quality in the organic box has been awesome. You get a lot of food…More »
2. Cincott Farms Organic Grocery & Market
Since I've been here last, they have expanded their selection of bulk items to include different kinds of flour, beans, peas, popcorn, sugar, and the other odd item. The bulk items are inexpensive in my opinion ($33 for 25 lbs of popcorn, for…More »

7/28/2011 First to Review
Great little store. A pretty decent selection for the size, but I think it depends on when in the… Read more »
3. Bosch Kitchen Centre
Bosch is a little out of the way for me, but it's worth the trip.
This little store is packed to the brim with all sorts of baking / kitchen gadgetry. Whenever I can't find something elsewhere, Bosch has it.
A lot of their baking and cake-decorating…More »
4. Heritage Village Dental Clinic
This has been my dental clinic for as long as I can remember for a reason. I love it here. Is it wrong that I actually look forward to going to the dentist?
I find all of the technicians as well as my dentist to be very skilled and polite. I don't…More »
5. Bulk Barn
I love Bulk Barn!!! I'm not a huge advocate of bulk bins in grocery stores, mostly due to stale food/low turnover, but Bulk Barn is different. They have everything... EVERYTHING you could ever want.
Most useful to me is the variety of bulk baking…More »
6. Wild Prairie Soap Company
So, I've been on a quest for shampoo bars and healthy soaps for a long time. Much to my dismay, most of the local soap boutiques only offer crap products containing SLS and other foam boosters, additives, and unknown fragrances. Yikes! Not stuff I…More »
7. IKEA
Edmonton, AB T6N 1M3
(780) 433-6000
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Kitchen & Bath,
Department Stores
Oh IKEA, if only you knew the joy you bring me!
I have so much stuff from IKEA. The great thing about the place is you can have the cheap, bare-bone basics or you can spend a little more money to get something classier. They have a really good price…More »
8. Blush Lane Organic Market
Blush Lane Organic Market just opened and I had a chance to check them out on the weekend. The store is fairly large (surprisingly given the location), rivaling its neighbour, Planet Organic. There is also a separate health supplement store within…More »
9. Earth's General Store
I finally got around to checking out the new location.
Points off due to the smell. I'm not sure what exactly is creating that smell, but it was the reason I couldn't spend much time in the previous location and I'm still not fond of it. It's less…More »
10. T&T Supermarket
T&T is great. They sell a lot of varieties of ramen noodles, which is great for poor students like me. They also always have small pastries for $1-3 that you can buy if you want a little treat but not too much. Some of the cake slices they sell are…More »
11. Sobeys
Since my last review there have been a couple changes.
First, they are not open 24/7 any more. I believe the store closes at midnight or 1 a.m. now but I am not certain. Still, it is open quite late so if you have a late night snack attack, it's still…More »

This is a great grocery store for general products (i.e., not organic). It's close to home and the… Read more »
12. Sobeys Western Cellars
I love wine, and I love sales, and this liquor store has both! This is my liquor store of choice, mainly because it's close to home and right beside Sobeys. For a smaller liquor store they have a good wine selection which is all that matters to me.…More »
13. Planet Organic Market
All of the produce sold at Planet Organic is 100% organic, and a lot of the grocery items are organic to some degree. If not, they still seem to fill a niche market, so if you're looking for something hard to find you'll likely find it here.…More »
14. Save On Foods
Thank goodness for this Save On Foods. If not for it, I would be spending so much on food!!! The prices here are about "normal" ... and by that I mean cheaper than most places in the University area. They also have a good selection of organic food,…More »
15. The Bay
I find myself shopping at The Bay quite a bit these days, and though it is on the expensive side you will find very good quality items there. This location is clean and well-stocked.
This location has a wide selection of clothing and accessories, but…More »
16. Southgate Centre
I love Southgate Mall! This is my mall of choice in the city, even before the renovations. There are several reasons as to why.
1. It's CLEAN!!! This mall is very well maintained and doesn't get gungy like some of the other malls in the city. They…More »
17. Mill Woods Town Centre
I grew up in Mill Woods so maybe my opinion of this mall is somewhat shaped by that. It's definitely a niche mall -- there may not be something for everyone.
First of all: Fabricland. Fabric stores in malls are not common in this city, and I couldn't…More »
18. Ets Edmonton Transit System
I've been pretty impressed with ETS on the whole after using the system for years. Most of the time, busses arrive and leave on time, and usually the transfers make sense and don't leave you waiting too long. Oddly though, getting from my place to…More »
19. Shoppers Drug Mart
I'm quite a fan of this Shoppers Drug Mart. I go here to get my prescriptions filled and the pharmacy staff are always friendly and efficient. I never have to wait more than half an hour if I come with a new prescription, and they're very helpful in…More »
20. Shoppers Drug Mart
Aditya did a great job describing this Shoppers so I'll just add my two cents. Even though Shoppers is usually viewed (as far as I know) as more along the lines of a convenience store -- the type of place you go if you need one or two items -- I…More »
21. Sangster's
I don't go for the majority of the products they sell here, but Sangster's is my establishment of choice for body care product ingredients. They have a great selection of essential oils, and very good prices on these (especially compared to beauty…More »
22. Neelkamal Indian Grocery & Movies
Edmonton, AB T6L 6B8
(780) 490-1740
I really love this store. Mostly I come here for spices. They have awesome prices on spices in general, and they carry packages of all sizes (just a bit or several hundred grams). They also offer a lot of ready made spice mixes. Whenever my cooking…More »
23. University of Alberta Bookstore
Edmonton, AB T6G 2J7
(780) 492-4215
Categories:
Bookstores,
Fashion
The University Bookstore has a decent selection of books, as well as gifts, school supplies, a pharmacy, and some clothing. Sometimes, having the pharmacy on campus has really saved my butt. In general though, the merchandise here is overpriced. Not…More »
24. Fido Store & Kiosk
I've been with Fido for about four years now and generally if I need to see someone in person I will go to this kiosk. I have purchased two cell phones here as well as paid my bills here before switching to online banking.
In general, the kiosk can…More »
25. Buski Eye Center & Surgical Suite
Edmonton, AB T6L 6W6
(780) 450-3335
I go here for eye appointments every year. When I was younger I really liked the place ... the examination rooms and waiting area are tidy, and the front end staff are friendly. But over the last several years it just seems like they're interested in…More »
26. Cross Iron Mills
Cross Iron Mills is a cool place to walk around, especially if you're on a road trip and are passing through the area (this is when I go). Being an Edmonton resident, I have to say it's a heck of a lot better than WEM. Mostly because it's clean.
…More »
27. West Edmonton Mall
You know, I'm so on the fence when it comes to WEM.
They've got a Victoria's Secret which I absolutely LOVE, Coin & Stamp is great for the odd thing, T&T Supermarket is the only place that sells the ramen I like (don't judge my student ways), and…More »
28. Millwoods Registry
Edmonton, AB T6L 6K3
(780) 461-9071
As can be expected, the wait is long... I went early in the morning and still had to wait for several hours. Not much to do for entertainment, either ... even with a book I found it difficult not to fall asleep.
The staff here are not unpleasant, but…More »
