Toronto Premium Outlet Mall, Hornby Canada

Finally, I am here at Toronto Premium Outlet Mall. I have heard from friends how nice it is to shop here and vowed to see it myself one day.

It is fun to shop in outlet malls. There are so many different things you can see and enjoy with just looking. I mean, that is what I do, window shopping. Sometimes, if I find something really worth buying, then I grab one or two, depending on the price and rarity. Some people like shopping in outlets because of price and variety. Parking can be tough at times when it is a really busy. We experienced that today. It took us around 15 minutes to find a spot. It started to annoy my driver husband but fortunately, it did not get to the point where we head straight home, mad and disappointed. My daughter said that she feels like in heaven when shopping in outlets because of the many things she can see and buy if dad permits to let go of his card. She knows that dad is finance department, a good earner while shopper is like a beggar, begging for a yes with a pout face for the release of the fund to fund the shopping act. And most of the time, it works!

It can be tempting to buy, I told her. Please keep your sanity when shopping because Mr. Headache will surely show up when bill knocks the door to remind it is due in a few days. She said "Yes, I will" and had a good turn out today.

A New Coach Store in Canada

We were just having a relaxing day today, browsing along some stores, window shopping with nothing particular to buy in mind. It was a fine day but warm. The summer is finally making me comfortable, getting used to it until I saw something ahead of us. A group of people, not common to see in one area of this huge shopping place. From the look of it, you can see there is a long line. I wonder what it was all about as being first in anything new is something addicting to me. I want to know firsthand what is going on, not be told by someone about it and I am as curious as a cat. We hurried our steps to check it out.

Approaching the end of the line, I stretched my neck long enough to see farther. It was a new coach store here in Canada, opening for the first day. Oh I see. The line was long with young and old alike, different people from Canada’s way of life, coming for a common love – the love of owning a coach. They did not mind waiting for the door to open. They were patient and quiet. Some wait in line with shopping bags in hand from other stores. But is it really worth it? I do not know since I am not a fan of coach.  Would it be a better deal to shop online? I ask a friend about it and found out that shopping online would cost you duties because it came from US. Sometimes, shipping may be out of question because a lot of online stores now offer free shipping with a minimum order. However, coach may not offer free shipping. That is something to consider then. The good thing is that you need not wait in line.

This is what happens when a new store opens. A lot of people would like to be the first one to check it out. This time, I am going to pass. Anyway, I am just sharing this picture of a coach store as it open doors to the Canadian consumers - would be shoppers. I hope it’s not made in China!
