Life &beyond

I finally made my first visit to this amazing store after driving by it for over 7 years! What brought me in was the outrageous prices at Whole Foods, but I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic selection and charming atmosphere of this place (see attched receit, same volume of ginger at wholefoods $15). The customer service was top-notch, and they had a great mix of local and international products. I will definitely be returning, especially since they carry some of the same brands as Whole Foods but at a fraction of the cost. Can't wait to come back! Oh they have a variety of garden plants to explore and procure for the incoming warmer weather.

Love Saks, but my wallet disagrees with my shopping sprees. Yet, I end up with a gorgeous bag and the pockets to hold it. The stellar customer service makes it feel like home. While it's a transactional relationship, it's tough making friends in Toronto—no bikes or dogs for me. Saks brings back memories of my time in the US, and I hope to return soon. The merchandise selection is dwindling, and we're all speculating about Saks leaving Canada. It's a lifestyle we can't quite afford anymore. Still, I'll support this American gem until it heads back home. If Holt Renfrew can survive, why not Saks?

Don't be deceived the parking sucks pack lots of patience because you will circle the mall a few times before you find parking.
