When I came across regular a sportswear store, and shorts cost around $45 I was glad I came to Lululemon to find me some hot yoga gear and stop wearing my swim suit.

The stuff is quality. And stylish, and functional. Yes, they are on the pricier…More »

  Update - 9/13/2010

It's still a trap, but after coming back here, I realized that the stuff is a bit over priced compared to Kitchen Stuff Plus.  But it's hard to resist all the little goodies you can find here.

It's one of those places you have to think real hard: do…More »

Yes it's crowded, Yes it's a long line up (but moves quickly), but this is the best and only place close to Toronto you can get Coach bags for 1/4 of the price!

Most of the bags, gloves, scarves etc. are marked down to about 50% but then they…More »

I haven't been to Costco in years, but it was the best place to buy food for 20 ppl we were feeding at a barbeque. I don't remember there being so much produce and actual perishible food in the back, nor as a kid did I appreciate the awesome deals…More »

I like the place a lot - it's got a bulk section for your organic nuts, seeds and dry things, any sort of gluten free/wheat free alternative you might be looking for, and tons of choice.  But there are things that have started to bug me.

I've come here many times, and just assumed that I was getting a good deal, but never knowing for sure. I know for sure that produce is fresher and cheaper here, but not by how much. As for the other items, I would get berated by my fiancee that I am…More »

This is a different type of gift store than the one across the street (Drysdale and Co). Stuff in here is mostly girly girl stuff, and usually if I can't find anything in Drysdale, I come here.
Tons of jewellery and scented stuff to choose from. I…More »

Typically when I go to a no Frills I always found it extremely ghetto, even if it's on Avenue Road, but I think it could be because everything is Yellow. But I love no frills because the produce is always so fresh!!
This one is no exception.

This large Shoppers in the last few years took over what used to be a 7/11 and a St. Huberts. Just so you know.

I like everything about this one. It's big, good layout, has good selection etc.
