– It was a rainy day (again!) a few weeks back when my big brother Frank and I, (along with nephews Michael and Julian), decided to check out the new Giant Tiger store on Kipling Ave. There’s something about shopping with two young adults, Louboutin pumps along with their dad and watching how goofy guys get when they accidentally stumble into the women’s lingerie area. (And — boy! Do these boys love to shop in the food section!) But I digress — we all really liked this place, not only for the excellent prices, but the variety of goods offered — everything from clothing to housewares, to fresh and frozen foods. Best of all was how friendly the staff were. A welcome addition to the neighbourhood!

Giant Tiger, 2141 Kipling Ave. N. (well north of Rexdale Blvd., on east side), 1-800-360-8805), Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sat., 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sun., 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
