Bulk Barn

This place is amazing. Whatever you need for your baking and cooking needs, I'm pretty sure you'll find there (not talking about fruits/veggies). One guy there was super polite and helpful. Very knowledgeable about what they have and super respectful about what people can and cannot eat.

I went in to get a ton of candy for a candy bar at work and the staff were super helpful and patient as I loaded 40 lbs of candy onto the counter. Marla helped me find my way around and Emily was very kind, super friendly and also helpful!

Prices are amazing. I spent less on 1lb of cayenne pepper than a little shaker is at the grocery store. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They know where everything is and they take you over and show you instead of just telling you what aisle to look.

Once loved going to this location. Grey hair lady ruined it for all (her name is undisclosed because other staff will not give her name). No matter how well you clean your containers, it does not fit her standards. Good luck to all.

Like this store! Not only you can save quite a lot (compare walnuts or cashews with normal grocery stores), but they also have quite a lot of things you cannot find elsewhere. I was looking for gluten free flour without rice (we don't like the taste) and there was some. Also the spices are great (was looking for cardamom, and they had it in wholes and grind). The only thing I found is that some things doesn't like to exposed to the air all the time (the wheat grass powder was almost yellow, and some of the candies were all sticking together). But it is good for flours, sugar, nuts, pasta, and dried fruits.

The concept of buying without the packaging is the future if you want to be environment conscient, and Bulk Barn provides that alternative. Although some prices are not as good as products that sell in the supermarket, you can always benefit from using Earth's Sundays (where you take your containers and get a 15% discount), and coupons that they offer frequently in your mailbox.

I arrived at bulk barn with my containers and when told I could not use two of them (because they had nut crumbs), I said I’d go clean them and come back. I was then told I couldn’t do that because I had already been refused the two containers. I was then told again how I can’t use them because I had to wash and sanitize them properly and I said I would and she still said I could not use them that day. I left the store and later called to speak to the manager, which was the same woman who had told me I couldn’t use the containers and then let her know how ridiculous it was that I was not allowed to go clean my containers and bring them back. She then changed her story and said that she had not said that. My other experiences with non managers there were pleasant. Unfortunately, because of that bad experience I will be shopping elsewhere.

Highly recommend, They have a huge selection of everything, Super clean and friendly staff)

This is not my first time buying stuff at bulkbarn as I go to this location a lot (80 ave. & 104 st.) and I also love bulkbarn because they have so many stuff that I like. Lately I have been placing my order via online and just pick it up. Instead of plain matcha I accidentally clicked matcha peach flavoured that is so strong and just realized when I got home. I wanted to exchange it so I checked my receipt if they have a no return/exchange policy that is written on their receipt or website but there’s none so I assumed it’s ok to exchange. I went back the next day and asked one of the employees if I can exchange and he said yes and called the manager/supervisor to help me. The older lady supervisor said no it can’t be as they have a no return/exchange policy for bulk orders (she is also rude). I left the stuff I bought since I won’t be able to use it anyway (money down the drain). I just hope they have something on their RECEIPT that says NO RETURN NO EXCHANGE FOR BULK ORDERS so people won’t waste their time and gas going back. There is nothing on the receipt where it say that. Also the old lady supervisor is rude she doesn’t have a good customer rapport, not pleasant.
