I LOVE books and I could buy up the whole store if I had the money.  I have been shopping at this book store for the last 10 years and I am always pleasantly surprised.  This small little gem is hidden away in the depths of Bentall Centre which, if…More »

This place can be a little overwhelming as there are so many books but the nice thing, compared to other used book stores, is it is easy to browse through and find a section you are looking for.  The owner can come across as cranky but he is very…More »

I love London Drugs and the experience at this location was no different.  I was in the area and needed to pick up a few things, so in I walked.  What I really like about the whole London Drugs experience is that almost all of them are laid out in…More »

Can you believe that until this past weekend I had never been in a Fred Meyer before?  It sort of reminded me of Superstore but nicer colours AND a booze aisle!  

My friend and I were wandering the beer aisle, as she needed some beer for the boyfriend…More »

I am a crazy fan of London Drugs.  I go in for one item and come out with 20 and I know I am not the only one that does that LOL.  It's almost like IKEA to me.  Go in and spend hours wandering up and down the aisles, just making sure there isn't…More »

Have been to a couple of Targets and this one is tiny in comparison.  I didn't find anything I liked but really I was meandering anyway.  It's always very clean in here though and the staff are friendly.

I LOVE beauty products and find that there are a couple of things I can find here that I can't at LDs (London Drugs) but very few.  I find them a little over priced but the location in the mall is great.  Last time I was there I picked up ear…More »

Not the most impressive library, especially in comparison to the VPL but usually has what I need.  Recently they have been reorganizing some of the ways they do things, for example most of the holds are no longer behind the counter, so it seems a…More »

This Wal-Mart always seems dirty and disorganized.  It also seems to be out of a lot of items or they just don't carry much.  I have been here a number of times and it never seems to have what I need.

The good thing about Wal-mart is that a lot of…More »

OMG!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this library!  When I was studying for my CSC I would go here and just immerse myself in my studies.  

Now if you are on one of the lower floors it can be a bit noisy so you really should go to floor 5 and up to study.

I LOVE books and I LOVE to read.  I am sad that the eReader is taking away from real books even though I have one.  I always stop at a book store when I am by one.  So I was out this way and I had to go look in.

I am used to large selection even at…More »

All About Pets (11)

Here are the places I will willingly take my animals too!

Pet friendly businesses (34)

Hello yelper friends!  If you are anything like me your dog (s) go everywhere with you and you hate leaving them in the car, so here is a list of pet friendly businesses.  Just don't let them pee everywhere because it could ruin it for the rest of us! I heart my pets!

Mary Kay (3)

Since I am an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay, I figured I would share with you the pro and cons of hosting some events outside the home :)!  Did that make sense lol?  Basically these are places/businesses I come into contact while trying to build my business!

Retail Therapy (69)

When I am down and depressed I take myself shopping and I feel happy!

4* (just a little something missing) (134)

These are all great places but there was always something missing.  Didn't make them horrible but didn't get them the coveted 5*!!!

On the cheap! (58)

Cheap is all in relation to the item and thus this list has many different price ranges BUT they are all cheaper than their competitors.  I have also put in a few out of country items too :)!

I love me some clothes... (22)

I don't think a clothing list needs a description lol.

Food, food & more food! (43)

I love food!  Here are some of my fav places to get my food on!

The 5 Spot (85)

5 stars only club!

Grocery Shops (22)

Good for picking up your daily nutritional needs.  I tend to go to a few different places instead of sticking to just one store lol.
