There is a fantastic toy warehouse sale going on at a place called Samko and Miko warehouse. I went on the weekend and bought what would have been $300 on toys, and only spent $96 !!!!

Here's the website to check out the locations. Good for GTA area, and Ottawa!

There are a lot of great baby items as well. I got a Fisherprice vibrating baby seat for $39, and I think I may go back for the organics playpen/changer/bassinet combo for only $100.

@Sherrybobins I got a BUNCH of toys and books. They have EVERYTHING you can pretty well think of... for example, I got the fisher price little peoples castle playset for $15. in the store it retails for close to $30.

You can even get rapping paper for xmas. anywhere from $0.50-$1.50!

I got a Narnia companion book, fully illustrated, pop-up hardcover for $2.00

[ren318]

@mckbutterfly you can get all kinds of stuff. Toys, swings, tents, playsets, strollers, baby stuff, SOME scrapbooking stuff, wrapping paper, books.... it's like a huge toys r us, but without that nasty retail pricetag

Do they have good toys and prices this year? I've been going every year for the last 7 years, but continuously being disappointed with both the toys and prices. The prices are not great for toys that are 2-5 years old. For example, last year, I went and saw a $17.50 Barbie that I had bought for a client's daughter two years earlier from Walmart for $10. The Camp Rock board game that kellyschool1 bought, I got for my in 2008 for $5 from Zellers. I guess my point is that I find the toys overpriced, and since they're old, children already typically have them. Honestly, I seem to fair better at WM and TRU when they have sales.

@ChristieJ to be honest, you'd have to take a look for yourself. I was impressed with their selection and prices, but you may not be. *shrugs*

I have to agree - it's not worth the drive for me, I can do much better watching for the deals at TRU/walmart/zellers. Plus then I have the security of being able to return if needed.

i was wondering if it is really worth it vs. sales around here. My mom has been talking about this place for a couple years but i always really wondered if it was actually worth the drive as i'm about 2 hours from toronto
