| - The Costco of alcohol. The more you buy, the cheaper it becomes! They give rebates based on how many bottles you buy (3/6/12), and it doesn't all have to be the same thing. Not only wine either, spirits as well. Expensive, cheap, and everything in between! Whenever I go, I never end up seeing the whole store, as I always end up filling my quota before I've visited the whole store.
Something I like is that its a very different atmosphere than a traditional SAQ store. While it isn't luxurious in the least, sometimes a change of scenery is good while shopping, as I've discovered wines I wouldn't have otherwise. I tend to know my local SAQ pretty well, and can walk in and go right to the various sections of wines I know and like. At the SAQ depot, since I go there much less often, I don't have that familiarity, and that's a good thing (because I'm not running in to pick up something on my way out the door, I'm going SHOPPING!).
I made the mistake of going one of the weekends leading up to Christmas. Yikes! That was pretty crazy! But it was still a good experience, just much more hectic than usual.
