Winners

Winners is a weird store. Not weird as in bad, just weird as in I either go to Winners and want to buy everything or I go in, and want to buy nothing and leave disgusted.
My most recent visit to Winners in Leduc was scenario A (want to buy everything). Winners is a discount store (so they say) that has deals on a wide variety of products from clothes to cosmetics to accessories to home décor to candy to toys. I’ve been to several Winners before and sometimes the deals are really awesome, but other times the Winners price isn’t that great of a deal. It kind of depends on what you’re looking for, and on the original retail price of the item your looking at. I just say this because it’s easy to look and go «omg 50% off» and want to buy everything, but not everything is that great of a deal.
That being said I do generally like Winners. I don’t usually find much in the clothing department, just because their plus size selection is limited to one rack, but I always like browsing the accessories and the purses and handbags at Winners. The have some random brands I don’t recognize, but then ones I do like Guess. On my last visit, I found a nice, basic gray over the shoulder purse that is perfect for traveling, and it was only $ 25, which seems like a great deal to me.
I also really like browsing the home department section at Winners because they have cool home décor stuff, but it isn’t just double decker bus figures and Buddha statues, there’s more practical home stuff. Case in point the 6 pack fo wooden hangers for pants that I got.
Winners can be quite busy, particularly on weekends or after holidays, but Leduc’s Winners is nice. It’s a decent size (not quite as big as some of the ones in Edmonton) and it’s always clean and well organized. The staff are pretty friendly, and even when being the 15^th person in line for the checkout counter it doesn’t take too long to check out. I don’t always shop at Winners, but I generally like it when I do.
