The bland facade of this Thornhill superstore conceals a bustling interior where eager shoppers browse aisles of bargain housewares. There’s everything for the kitchen except the sink. Choices range from the utilitarian—complete supplies for home canning including funnels and a variety of glass jars—to the whimsical—tins of blooming tea ($3.99 for 4 bags). Appliances—from standing mixers to vacuums—are from well-known brands such as KitchenAid, Krups and Hoover. Knowledgeable staff can discuss the merits of cast-iron versus stainless steel frying pans or silicone versus springform bakeware. For the bathroom, there’s towel racks from Umbra and foot spas from Conair (from $39). Savings start at 20 percent off suggested retail with many items discounted further.
