Toronto has some of the best shopping in North America. However, we don’t have to tell you that there is a lack of big box stores in the downtown core.
If we need something at Ikea or Costco, Torontonians will typically save it for the weekend and drive “just a bit” outside of the city. If we live in the heart of the downtown area, there is also usually a car, truck or van rental involved.
Of course, once we get there, we realize that everyone in the GTA had the same idea. The store is a madhouse and we can’t believe that this is how we chose to spend our weekend.
Are these big-box stores all they’re cracked up to be? No, not really. Can you save your weekend and your money by buying these big-ticket items somewhere else? Yes, you can!
