Kiera and I were there for 6 hours today I came away with 5 bags full of stuff. It's worth the $7 for sure.

You know what ? I went to the women show for two years in Calgary and all I ever got was a bag from SDM with a small bag of chips, a mini sample of dessert candies and some not popular nor useful cpns (like if u buy $150 worth of skin care and get a sample of cream, good for one time use). I did get the Iogo $1 cpn but just one cpn per person, between me and my daughter, got two Iogo cpns, $14 for adult admission, kids are free but has to pay through the nose for concession inside, like $3 for a fountain drink. Plus $15 for parking. To me, it was not worth the time if you are going for freebies or coupons. On the other hand, if u are going for beauty info or try new products, it might help.

It also depends what your mission is. Today I went with my daughter she is 8 and we had a blast. You can also purchase great products at reduced prices. I got cheeses, balsamic vinegar, jam and some juices at less than half of what they would normally cost.

will definitely have to look to see id this comes to Edmonton. I love going to large shows.

[GeorgiaK]

I have to agree with Patty, it depends what your purpose for going is.

[KDawg]

That is awesome! So much free stuff. I'm jealous.

Wow, great haul! How did you get the entrance ticket for $7? Pls share.

The previous years there were BOGO coupons in the newspaper, but I couldn't find any this year. My friend and I were ready to pay $14 (still totally worth it) but there were some awesome people in line who had printed a bunch of BOGO coupons from the show's website and were giving them to people who didn't have. It was great, especially because I've done that so many times in the past.

Took us about five hours--give or take! It depends on you though I guess. You could do it in half the time. My friend had wanted to stop at absolutely every single food tasting station lol--I patiently waited, especially when it was meat products (vegetarian)! It was a lot of fun though.

Hmm that kind of sucks. Did you stop at all the stations? Also, for us, the goody bags ran out after a while, and I also think that if you go earlier, you may get more in the bags. I never take the car because of the parking costs, so I had my boyfriend drive me and pick me up this year although in the previous years I've always taken the public transport (two metros and the bus). The $14 admission is costly, but there are always B1G1 coupons that you can cut out of a newspaper or print off from the website (in QC at least?). I also always bring my own water bottle so that I don't have to buy anything to drink, as for the food...I've never had to puchase anything to eat because of the crazy amout of samples that's always available. Actually, I rarely even eat breakfast knowing that I'm going to the show lol. Also, I always ask if I could have some extra coupons (instead of just one) and normally there is no problem at all. So, I'm not sure if it's different in Calgary, but I've always found it to be well worth the admission price.
