Foodie Toronto Trip: Shopping!!!

June 28, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I am so tired I just can’t take photos of my foodie treasures from Toronto so I made a quick video revealing them. Enjoy!

Kensington Market

Foodie Toronto Trip: Shopping at Kensington Market

Kensington Market has always been one of the coolest places to go shopping. Growing up in the burbs of Toronto, I never felt hip enough to really hang out there. Now, I couldn’t care less. I just wanted to have fun with my sisters and check things out!

There is always stuff going on in the market and so much to see.

I was on a strict budget so no new wardrobe for me but it was awesome to admire everything.

Courage My Love

One of the places Jamie recommended going to was Courage My Love. I could not believe it was still around!

Seriously hip, cool, retro and awesome… I had not been to this store in eons.

I almost bought these glasses. I only stopped myself because I figured they would be break on the way home.

I mean how many places have a boat with a mannequin draped in white with a parasol?

I did actually buy stuff from this store but you will have to check out my video to what it is I found there!

Kitchen Stuff Plus

I really wanted to go to Kitchen Stuff Plus but did not think I was going to fit it into my trip. Shannon and I went out to dinner right by the store after a movie so I just had to go in.

This store has everything for great prices. The only thing missing? Friendly staff. It was near closing and nobody seemed very nice or happy I am afraid.

I couldn’t believe it! So much like Rachael Ray’s famous garbage bowls for only $5!

A gadget geek like me finds stores like this one impossible to resist.

Seriously, cast iron Dutch ovens for under $100. I could not believe it! Oh how I wish I could have bought one of those and taken it home but they weigh a ton.

If you want to see what I ended up buying, make sure to check out my video reveal. I am just too bloody tired to take photos right now. Yup, I am that tired.

Totally a foodie shopping paradise. Can’t wait to go back with a bigger budget one day!

    I’m just loving reliving the trip through your posts, Suzie! So wonderful.

    The video was awesome. I love hearing your voice and seeing all the treasures. And great way to intersperse the pictures too!

    What an adventure we had!

    The Kitchen Store was a total treat to go to with you, and such a random walk by! I still can’t believe how heavy those cast iron pots were!

    I loved going to Courage my Love with You are Jamie! I don’t know if we’ve ever been there with all three of us before.

    Thanks Debra! Definitely my foodie highlights.

    Jamie, I should have mentioned you in the video too! But I only had the pic of Shannon, LOL. Thank you, so glad you liked the video, I worked hard on that and tried a new intro technique.

    Shannon, I can’t believe we fit Kitchen Stuff Plus in, totally by accident. I guess the foodie gods up there wanted me to go! Yes, the cast iron pots are ridiculous! I can order them online though and get free shipping. 🙂 Totally going to do that when I have some money.

    I don’t think we have ever gone to Courage My Love together. I think I have always gone alone, actually. So cool we could go as a sister gang together!

    WOWWWWWWW looks like you all had a ton of fun!!!!!!!

    I really love the iron mortar & pestle set! I think the texture is a smart idea, and now that I am thinking about it, I wonder why all of them aren’t made that way?

    Are those real people sitting on the roof of Courage My Love???? Also, I really love their light!!!
