1. Cadeaux Gifts & Home Embellishments
New Westminster, BC V3L 3X6
(604) 521-5269
Categories:
Jewellery,
Cards & Stationery,
Accessories
Today was my first foray into this little shop of fun! I could browse all day andd can't wait to have more time to do so. This is not the place to run into and have someone waiting in the car for you (like I did today lol).
The shop is ecclectic.…More »
2. GardenWorks
Can I just say that Gardenworks has taken my black thumb to green. This past fall I bought a little Fat Albert that I will be keeping on my balcony until Christmas, at which time I will have my own life Christmas tree with out the cost and dying…More »

Coquitlam, BC V3B 1C5

Categories:
Electronics,
Furniture Stores,

The Brick has been my go to place for home furnishings. I never have an issue with high pressure sales people, in fact, when I went to purchase my bed the sales person wasn't pushy at all. Part of my deal was a 42" television. Granted it's not a…More »
4. My Kitchen Window
OMG, I can't wait to go back. This is kitchen gadget heaven. I hate to cook but man do I ever LOVE to shop for kitchen gadgets. Today, I picked up something I am shocked I haven't purchased yet, a wine saver set. I guess one doesn't really need a…More »
5. Walmart
This is my dirty little secret! I love going here just to browse and see what is new. It has everything someone on a budget needs. If i need a number of items then I will take the time to drive here. Usually the savings doesn't outweight the gas…More »
6. MTF Price Matters
This location is always nice and well taken care of. You can find some great deals in here and not feel like you are cheaping out on items. It's basically things that Costco needs to get out of their main stores and sell quickly.
7. Canadian Tire
Canadian Tire is like London Drugs to me. I can wander the aisles for a life time. This past weekend I went to look at herbs as they had a few that I wanted a few days before but couldn't get at the time. Well needless to say that most of the…More »
8. General Paint Corporation
I am in the midst of home renos! OK not the whole reno but a whole lot of painting and replacing of lights, sockets and the like. It can be expensive, especially the paint, so boy was I happy when I found out that the co-op I live in gives $250…More »
9. Rona Home Centre
Vancouver, BC V5M 4W3
(604) 253-2822
Category:
Hardware Stores
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
Ahhhh the home reno fiasco that is my life! I have been to the Rona on Edmonds many times and have had both good and bad experiences. So a few weeks ago I was a wee leery about going to the Rona off Grandview but I was pleasantly surprised with my…More »
10. Rona Home Centre
This location has been the bane of my existence. They either have really good service or really horrible service. I have given this location 4 stars because the last few times I have been there have been positive.
This store is small in comparison to…More »
11. IKEA
OK who isn't addicted to IKEA??? I know that I am. I come here for lunch and then a shop. You can get a decent sized lunch, which is also healthy, for a great price.
Shopping here is an experience. You can't just go in and out, you MUST go from…More »
12. Fabricland
Until recently I was opposed to sewing anything because I remember my home ec. classes in Grade 8 and I was terrible at it. Then I started planning for a wedding and realized that I could save money if I did some of the stuff myself, so out I went…More »
13. Roma Furniture
Stopped in here on my hunt for a buffet! The sign said sale so I had to see for myself. It wasn't much of a sale lol. Not in my price point anyway!
In I went and I must admit some of it was nice but a lot of it was gaudy looking. Maybe it's just…More »
14. United Furniture Warehouse
On my search for a buffet (yes, I hit up a lot of stores lol) I decided to stop in here. I find the store very claustrophobic as they cram in a lot of items for the limited square footage.
The staff were very nice and friendly. I did feel a little…More »
15. Wal-Mart
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 »

Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
If you have ever been to an XS Cargo you know that it's a bit messy and cluttered but one can sometimes find a good deal on a few refurbished items.
I like that you can find little things for the house without giving up and arm and a leg but it's…More »
17. Michael's
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1
(604) 638-2523
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Wow. This place is HUGE or at least cleaner than the location I normally go to. They had a lot of selection but there was something missing. That could of been clear concise organization. Some things didn't make sense on their location to other…More »
18. Fabricana Imports Ltd
I was in the area a couple of weeks ago and since I was driving I decided the van and I would go there. The fiance and the dogs had no choice.
I was super excited. I am loving fabric stores and I was on the look out for coloured braided elastic,…More »
19. Mtf Price Matters
Langley, BC V2Z 2T5
(604) 532-8199
For a discount store this is the BEST of all the MTFs! It's probably the cleanest and the staff are helpful.
MTF is the leftover Costco items that they want to get rid of. So not only are they Costco priced BUT they are lower than regular Costco…More »
20. Canadian Tire Associate Store
As Garth says this is probably the worst Canadian Tire and I LOVE the Tire! I can roam around forever in this place but not in this store.
It always seems over crowed in some areas and empty in others. It's really hit and miss.
I highly recommend…More »

Sewing & Alterations
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
I am trying to learn to sew and decided to take a Sewing 101 class here. So last week I took the Throw Pillow 101. Lili is a great teacher and although I had some basic knowledge from teaching myself there were a lot of things I didn't know.
The…More »
22. Red Brick
Stopped in here a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised. It's elegant, funky and just the right thing for the neighbourhood. The owner is very friendly and it's definitely a pet friendly business which is key for me.
My favourite thing there,…More »
23. Bed Bath & Beyond
I love places like this. I can meander through Bed, Bath & Beyond for hours. Yes, I said hours lol!!!
So the other day I went a looking for a very cool item they had in their newest flyer. An alarm clock with soothing sounds, soothing colours and…More »
24. Home Outfitters
I am a Home Outfitters fan! I can't help it. I wish I could go through there and buy up everything that I wanted but alas I can't so when it was time to do my wedding registry this was where I went.
Now that the wedding is over I have a year to…More »
25. The Home Depot Canada
I LOVE wandering the halls of Home Depot. Yes, I said Halls and not Aisles lol. I am constantly trying to find inexpensive items that can make my rental place look nicer than the 80s look it had when we moved in. This past weekend I found items…More »
26. KJM Urban Gardens
I have been a fan of KJM for awhile and was super excited to see that they were opening up a location in the River Market by my house. My husband probably isn't as excited as it means more plants for our balcony when the construction is complete.

I am soooooo excited that these guys are here. I have been a Rona/Home Depot/home fixer-uper store whore for a long time and when it came to opening day here, I was just as slutty with them.
We are in the process of updating our kitchen and have…More »
28. Habitat For Humanity Vancouver Restore
Vancouver, BC V5X 2W6
(604) 326-3055
Neighbourhood: Marpole
My husband and I decided to stop here on a drive back from one of our favourite garden centres in Southlands. It was well worth the stop. The place is not a place where you are going to find exactly what you want on any given day.
When we stopped…More »
29. The Home Depot Canada
Home Depot is your typical big box hardware store. It has endless options for ones needs.
I have been to this location a couple of times and was able to find what I need. I was looking for a rain barrel for my balcony so that I can use the water…More »

Retail Therapy (69)When I am down and depressed I take myself shopping and I feel happy! |

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 :)! |
