| - Walmart is a superstore that sells pretty much anything you want at prices that are pretty low. The problem with this is that a lot of what they sell is at that price for a reason - low quality or not being fresh. I don't really recommend going here for fruit/vegetables because they don't look fresh and all.
If you're going here for things like canned soup, cereal, drinks or general sweets, you're likely good here since the ones here are the same as the ones located at, for example, a Shoppers Drug Mart, which tend to have slightly higher prices. But don't go here for anything high end - you're likely better off going to T&T or Foody Mart for that. One place I would avoid, however, is the electronics. Their prices aren't all that low compared to an EB so you're better off taking a minute walk down the halls of Markville Mall for that. Not only that, but they don't tend to have newer stuff in stock anyway. Be really careful as to what you take because there's a tendency for items to be opened already. I really don't know why customers feel the need to rip things opened IN the store but that happens here a lot - probably because they make no effort to watch security on anything of low-ish value.
As everyone else has mentioned, this place is ridiculously crowded. Do not expect to get a parking spot anywhere close to it, especially if you go near the evening hours. Some days the lanes are short, others they're pretty long so they need to do a better job with keeping them moving. They also have cashback if you need that.
One thing of note is that there's zero reception inside here so don't expect to be able to text or phone anyone in here (at least for me - I'm with Rogers).
Walmart's an alright place if you just need to pick a few generic things up as they price pretty cheaply but since it's so busy, I generally recommend people go somewhere else - especially if they want fresh food.
