I friggin' heart costco.  My husband and I make a pilgrimage here every few months to stock up on things that are considerably cheaper than at a regular store.  We tend to leave somewhat flustered, and about $200-$300 poorer, but we get in, get what…More »

Dear T & T,

you flipped my world upside-down.  You took my relatively quiet, calm, ample parking little mall of my youth and turned it into an all-out-Asia-mega-land.

Not that I'm complaining.  In fact, the day after I moved back from Tokyo I came…More »

It's a fairly large, roomy, well-stocked health food store - I have been coming here for years and years and years.  It's out of the way but the bottom line is this:

It is cheaper than all the other places. I've price compared with Noah's, Whole…More »

  Update - 8/22/2009

We came here yesterday for a birthday party with about 15 guests or so.  I have to say that I was really impressed with the fast service.  We were seated in the party room downstairs and those poor girls where haulin' a** up and down the stairs…More »

Alright, we all know that I am a huge fan of the Real Canadian Superstore - and not just because it's really Canadian.

Pros:
1. Humongous!

2. They have a good sized Joe Fresh smack in the middle (meaning you can sneak clothing into your grocery budget…More »

I always thought that the Real Canadian Superstore was the same thing as Loblaws - so I will review it as such.

This is, hands-down, my favourite Loblaws in the city.  Unfortunately, without a car, I live in a land far-far-away.

Not only is it huge,…More »

Dr. Deli and the Salad Queen, ah, good times.  This place has changed ownership more often than Paris Hilton changes boyfriends.  As such, I feel like the quality of the food has gone down over the past few years.  We used to come here all the time,…More »
