K Marts
I don’t visit this store unless I just have too.I can never find anything and the salespeople there all act like they would rather be some place else.
I have a thing about salespersons.I think that if you work there,you should know where everthing is,at least in the general area.This …
Directbuy
For years I have watched the American television commercials about a company called Directbuy. Finally a Directbuy location opened in my immediate area, and somehow we managed to get on their mailing list. We never contacted them, so they must have bought our information from some mailing list, but …
Gracie and Gruff Fine Toys
I was in a mall in downtown Calgary and I came across a store that looked so unique that I had to go inside. Gracie and Gruff Fine Toys had so many interesting items in the window on display that I decided to go inside just for the fun …
Fantastic Indoor Swapmeet

Uncle Sam’s Health Food Store
I love Uncle Sam’s Health Food store, and I shop there twice a month.

Uncle Sam’s had a huge selection of vitamins, and differant brands …
Dollar Tree
Shopping at the Dollar Tree store is the best feeling I get when I go there to shop because I know that when I pick up something to buy it will only cost a dollar. Everything is for a buck at the dollar tree store and you can really …
Plato’s Closet Clothing Consignment Store
A newer store has opened in Pike Creek, Delaware. Its called Plato’s Closet, and I think that the franchise is a brilliant idea. It is a trendy store that probably survives based upon college and highschool students bringing in their clothes, which must be six months new, …

Shopping in Bangkok
I have for a fact visited Bangkok before, and I must highlight some places of interests for shopping. First, there is the Siam Discovery Center. This is a cool and awesome place. I really love checking out this place.

CSA Wireless
At some point, maybe after I’ve had my cell phone for a while, I’ll take a few minutes to sit down and review the service I get through US Cellular. However, I do want to take a few minutes to at least discuss the great service my wife and …

Makati Cash N Carry Mall
I still remember when I was still a kid that whenever my mom shop used to buy grocery at Cash & Carry Supermarket, me and my brother always use to look at bastketball cards and shoes at the stores near it. In the Philippines it was one of the …
TJ Maxx Chicago
I go to TJ Maxx all the time - it is by far my favorite department store. The store I’m reviewing is located in downtown Chicago, a block away from Marshall Fields (Macy’s nowdays). I’m not a fashion maniac, and certainly not an obsessive shopper, but I have to …
Gap in Prime Outlets
Gap has become a staple in most malls, even outlet malls. Most people tend to think that outlet malls only carry defected clothing items or last season’s items but that’s totally wrong. I’ve actually talked to the managers at the Gap stores in an outlet mall and they say …
Starter Shoes
When you think of Starter, what is the first thing you think of? Jackets, right? Well, it is time to change your preconcieved notions about the Starter Company.
When you think of quality shoe companies you should think Starter. Built to last, these shoes are not …
Zara Philippines
Zara is one my favorite stores here in the Philippines. I knew about the brand when I was visiting in Canada. I immediately loved the clothes there which were trendy yet timeless and elegant. So when Zara finally opened its doors here in Manila, I was ecstatic! What I …
Disney Character Warehouse, Sawgrass Mills Mall
When someone would say to me that they were going to Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise Florida, I would normally run the other direction. The mall itself is known to be loud and packed with so many people that I would need a blow horn just to get through …

We’re All Ears Elephant Ears in Seaside, Oregon
MMMMmmmm….elephant ears.
Now before you call your local animal rights organization - this is NOT literally what they are! For those of you not familiar with what an elephant ear is, think of a very large flat churro - which incidentally - happens to look like an elephant ear. If …

Publix Supermarket

Charleston City Market
If you are visiting Charleston SC you do not want to miss seeing the City Market. It is home to hundreds of vendors selling everything you could possible think of. It is four blocks long and you just walk through the open air buildings. I can’t wait until my …
McLeod’s Books (used bookstore)
I pass McLeod’s Books everyday on my way to work. The “SALE” sign never goes out of season, but price-wise, this cannot be considered false advertising.
The moment you enter McLeod’s, all you see is books. Left, right, up down. Books. I felt overwhelmed by …
Crate & Barrel
The entire city of Calgary, Alberta seemed to be waiting with great anticipation for the opening of the first Crate & Barrel store in Western Canada, and only the second one in the entire country. In fact, several morning television shows and even the evening news carried live reports …
Old Navy West Edmonton Mall
I find most Old Navy stores quite similar in lay-out and merchandise, but sometimes there are small differences that make some better than others. Old Navy at West Edmonton Mall might be my favourite Old Navy store so far. First of all, it is bright-I am unsure whether it …
Publix at Twelve Oaks in Savannah, Georgia
I’ve been going to this Publix for quite some time, and I have very mixed feelings about it. Although the store is very clean, offers great sales and coupons in addition to having overall friendly service, the food quality and selection is not very good.
The first problem I have …
Gainesville FL, Sally Beauty Supply Store

Ed Mckay’s Book Store
Forgive me for not knowing the address of this book store. I know it’s just off Battleground Ave, though. Ed Mckay’s is the best used book store I’ve seen in Greensboro, and believe me, I’ve scoured the place from Lee Street to High Point Road and as far …
Century 21 Department Store
The tagline for Century 21 (department store, not the realty company) is “Fashion Worth Fighting For,” which is exactly what you will find yourself doing once you step inside this shopping mecca. Ok, so you may not get in a knock-down drag-out fight, but don’t be surprised if you …
MartOne Shopping Center
MartOne is just a small company located at the heart of this little city of gentle people. At first, I was hesitant to get inside the place because of its limited parking space but my curiousity about the place paid me off.
…
Amazon.com
I’ve shopped at Amazon.com for several years now - even before I had a debit card, which makes online shopping so much faster and easier.
As long as I’ve been a customer, Amazon has been a great place to shop for books, movies, music and software. As the site has …
Pick & Save Supermarket Wausau WI
The Pick and Save store is a bit more expensive than most other stores in the city of Wausau. It is a really large store and they have a great selection of food. One thing I don’t care for is the in and out doors are right …
Efads Dollar Store #80 at the Surrey Central Mall, Canada

VivoCity Singapore
I am one of those people who keep changing residence every year. It is not that I like it that way but, somehow it ends up like that. Couple of years back, I had moved to Telok Blangah, which is south-west of Singapore. Everyday my …
Dollarama Dollar Store in Surrey, Canada
I would easily vote Dollarama as the best dollar store anywhere in Canada. I am not only satisfied with the service of this dollar store, I am equally impressed with its inventory. Compared to the Dollarama store just off the Broadway Sky Train station in Vancouver, though, …
New Minas, NS Claire’s
Claire’s is located in the County Fair Mall in New Minas, Nova Scotia. It is a small store, like most of the Claire’s stores you will find, but this one seems especially cramped. It is definitely not a place you can fit a stroller or cart into very easily.
The …
SM City Cebu Shopping Mall
I love to go out shopping, especially on weekends, and my favorite place in which to do it is at SM City Cebu, a vast, multi-story shopping mall that offers some of the best slices of the city. In fact, when friends from out of town come to visit …
