1. David's Bridal
I have never been the type of girl that fantasized about their wedding but now that I am planning one I am getting like a kid in a candy store. In Canada and most bridal stores, the cost of a wedding dress is crazy obscene so I decided to check out…More »
2. SPCA Thrift Store
Who doesn't like helping the animals of the SPCA and this is a way to do it and get any retail therapy needs out. I also like to donate items that are sellable here.
I have found some cute outfits, books, bags and the like here. There's also the…More »
3. 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 »
4. Coach
AHHHHHH! I am in LOVE with this place! Handbags are one of my vices and this store has it all. Not only do they have THE BEST prices on Coach bags, they add on by having 20% off on top of the 50% off on top of the marked down price of the outlet…More »
5. Sunrise Garden Centre
So I was back here today! I just love, love, love this place. I am working on a vegetable/fruit/herb balcony garden and they had so many of the things that I wanted. There are a couple of things that they don't have for mint plants (i.e. chocolate…More »

Wow! That's all I can say! On a trip to Glasgow I found this shop and have been in love ever since. If I remember correctly this was the first shop I went to in Glasgow! First stop, TEA!!! Now I realize I can' t fly back and forth any time I…More »
7. Dollarama
My other dirty little secret. I had a blast in here for stocking stuffers. Nothing like a spiderman toothbrush and toothpast for a 44 year old man. I like that it has a vast array of items for the picking. I came out with a shopping cart full and…More »
8. Up Town Nails
I adore this place. The Vietnamese people that run this place are the most adorable people I have EVER met. I have had regular manis & pedis here as well as gel nail maintence, when I had them. I had been to a few nail places in New West and…More »
9. Bath & Body Works
I love this place for the handsoap. Yes the deal isn't the same as you will find in the states but I think the difference is minimal. If one really feels the need to save the whooping $5 difference (in US funds of course) then drive to Bellingham…More »
10. Petsmart
This PetSmart store is fantastic and puts a couple of the others to shame. Sherry, Alannah and Ariel are fantastic and it would be a shame if they ever left. My dog loves it there and all three are his "girl friends".
The variety and quality of…More »
11. 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 »
12. Amar's Indian Feast
OMG I LOVE Indian food! I have been waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for a mall style Indian place in New West for awhile. Why you may ask? Well I don't always want to sit in and like smaller portions than some of the restaurants have to…More »
13. Moody Beads
I must say my last experience in here was not so good but I am a fan of second chances and when my Maid of Honor suggested I make my bridal jewelry I decided to sign up for a class at Moody Beads. I think that was the best idea ever! I called a…More »

Coming from Vancouver this place was so different. We have NOTHING like this here and I wish we did. I had such a great time here. The place was packed, cover was cheap and the beer was flowing! Now if only they had air conditioning lol (thus…More »

Categories:

A few years ago I made a little trip down to visit friends in LA and I was very lucky to be brought here for some of the BEST Thai food I have ever had. On top of that the atmosphere of the temple filled my soul with awe. I highly recommend a wee…More »
16. Overtime Sports Bike Shop
This place is fantastic. I recently won a brand new Rocky Mountain mountain bike however it had an 18 inch frame and I am a very short 5'1 who requires roughly a 13 inch frame. I contacted Rocky Mountain but they weren't interested in doing an…More »
17. Galloway's Specialty Foods
If you ever need a spice, dried fruit and nuts, this would be the place to go. I also am in LOVE with their tea selection. The prices are great and reasonable for the little specialty items that you won't be able to find in a Safeway. I did a…More »
18. Fred Meyer
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 »
19. Dressbarn Dressbarn Women
Well if you are like me, you like a deal for your clothes that actually fit. I have made my way down to Burlington a few times and am NEVER disappointed with the Dress Barn. They have some nice clothes for all sizes, which can be a bit harder to…More »
20. Costco
OMG and I thought the Costco in Burnaby was a nightmare lol. I was sooo overwhelmed when I walked in here. My friend and I just meandered through and went directly to the beer aisle lol! I am sensing a theme on my grocery store trips in the USA…More »
21. Cielito Lindo
I was out in Langley last weekend going for a weekend drive and needed to stop for lunch. I will admit that if it weren't for the coupon I had I probably wouldn't have stopped here but I am glad that I did.
It is a hole in the wall and there is a…More »
22. New Westminster Public Library
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 »
23. Army & Navy Department Store Ltd
New Westminster, BC V3L 1B1
(604) 526-4661
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Department Stores
This place is very basic and will sometimes shop here. Mostly for shirts, a jacket here and there and ALWAYS the annual shoe sale. If you haven't realized from my other reviews, I am a shopaholic lol. I just recently went to the shoe sale and…More »
24. 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.
25. Target
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.
26. The Thirsty Duck Pub
I have had good nights here and I have had bad nights here. Thursday is great because it's cheap Canadians and it's the one day I will willing drink that pee swill lol! It's not too bad to watch games at but I have had much better times at other…More »
27. Shari's Restaurant
This weekend I was on a wedding dress mission in Burlington but arrived there well before my appointed time and my maid of honor and I needed some morning grub so off we went to the mall. Alas they had nothing but were able to point us in the…More »
28. Liquidation World
This place it hit or miss. You can find some good deals in here but there are moments where it is completely useless lol. The biggest problem I have had here is the service.
If you are looking for a deal it is at least worth the stop if you are in…More »
29. 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 »
30. Edaleen Dairy Products
All I can say about this place is YUMMY in my TUMMY!
They have the best ice cream I have ever had and at a great price. This last time I had it in a waffle cone and I was in a milky heaven. There is always a line up here but they are worth it.
Aside…More »
31. Meridian Superstore
If you are like most Lower Mainlanders, you are on the look out for the BEST gas prices when in the states. Of all places I have been, this is probably the most reasonable and the owners are always friendly. This past weekend the price was $2.93 a…More »

Categories:
Buffets,
American (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
If you are looking for Gordon Ramsey quality food, this is not the place to go. If you are ok with a America Buffet style dinner that isn't the best but isn't horribly expensive then I would say come here. I have been here a few times and am usually…More »
33. Dollar Tree
The past week I have been researching prices for making my own centre pieces for the wedding and stumbled onto the Dollar Tree website. Wow, amazing! I was hooked and needed to go in. It was like needing a fix, or at least I would assume that's…More »
34. Target
Of the few Target stores that I have been to, this one is probably the best. Whenever I am here I always wish we had one in Canada. This particular Target always seems to be clean and not like the Ross across the street which leaves soooo much to be…More »

Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Wow, I don't think I have ever been this disappointed in an H & M. Although there was a lot of selection it seemed very limited. The place was cramped and even the accessories failed to mesmerize me.
There was nothing there that I would willingly…More »
36. Tim Hortons
When it comes to Christmas shopping I frequently have meltdowns lol. This Timmy's is located in the perfect place. So when I am at Walmart, ready to kill the next cart that cuts me off, I head over here for my double double to calm the nerves lol.…More »
37. Tim Hortons
Hello, my name is Catherine and I have a caffeine addiction. I also like my double, doubles on the days where I am feeling a little down but I still have to leave the house. Today was one of those days.
This Timmy Ho's is almost always a gong…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 »
39. The Wine Factory
With my Wedding fast approaching we have decided to make our own red and white wines. It's just as good and saves us a little money, especially with anything related to weddings being uber expensive.
I walked into the Wine Factory just the other week…More »
40. Hillcrest Brewing Co. Ltd.
As there are no beer brewers in New Westminster I figured this was the next best location. It's relatively close to the Edmonds area which made it beneficial for me and my location.
Their website has all the prices of their beers and you can do half…More »
