| - As much as I'd love to keep this fantastical secret to myself, I feel the need to spread the joy. My always frugal mom was the one who put me onto this Bay outlet that is cleverly disguised as an old dingy Zellers. The store is massive. Imagine the average Winners, add a Home Sense and multiply by two or three.
Everything at the outlet is already heavily discounted from regular Bay retail prices. Then, you take an additional discount depending on the colour of sticker affixed to the product's tag. The range is something like 20-50%. If you're lucky and show up on the right day, there's even further discounts to be had via limited time promotions. One time it was all summer footwear that was an extra 25% off. On another recent visit you saved 15% for paying with debit or credit and 20% for using an HBC credit card.
The goods, they are great. Better selection and quality than any Winners/Marshalls/TJ Maxx I've been to in the GTA and at heavier discounts. Finds include items from Top Shop and Top Man, Material Girl, Buffalo, Free People, Nine West and so much more. Yeah but what kind of prices are we talking about reallllly, you ask? How about a BCBG dress that retailed at $152 for $26 bucks. Yeah, you bet I scooped that gem up! Most of the store consists of ladies clothing, footwear & accessories but there are also decent sized sections for men, kiddies and home furnishings. The only reason I've held back on giving the place 5 stars is the lack of organization. Be prepared to spend some time treasure hunting. Like an entire afternoon. It's well worth the TTC trek to Kipling + a bus ride if you don't drive. And if you do, there's ample parking plus a smallish Winners and a few restaurants in the same complex. But shhhhhh.....don't tell too many friends okay?
