| Hailey - plastic taste commented on Dec 11 2011 8:13AM |
| I had this taste with Bulk Barn corn chip snack, but I had just bought it. I believe and the cashier agreed that it was in their plastic packaging too long (ie old product)and I WAS given a refund, which is basic customer service. |

| Jan - No Refunds? commented on Dec 4 2011 2:17PM |
| I think you should contact their head office. It should be refunded if you're not satisfied with the product!Definitely going downhill. |
| Joan Green - NO RETURNS commented on Dec 3 2011 5:07AM |
| I have been a Bulk Barn user for almost 20 years, but no more!! I have always bought my rolled oats there along with many other items, usally spending $30 - $40 each time. However; the last oats I bought when I went to use it tasted like some kind of cleanser. I took the oats back, assuming I would get a refund or replacement product,not so. I was told that I had left the oats in the plastic bag too long and that it took the taste of the bag. I have always left product in the bags and never in the 20 years have experienced this. Considering the amount of oats we use, it wasn't even left in the bag that long. Please be aware of their claim that their bags are toxic. For the sake of a couple of dollars they have lost a valued customer. Oh yes, never buy candy there, it is way over price. Try Walmart, Zellers or just about anywhere else. |

| Nadia - PRICES commented on Oct 11 2011 4:52AM |
| It's true prices are higher everywhere BUT bulk prices used to be better than retail stores and that is no longer the case for most of the items such as nuts, candy, baking ingredients! I have compared and even with sales the prices at Bulk Barn are not good. |

| Imelda - No Free Bag given commented on Sep 30 2011 10:56AM |
| This week on their flyer it says if you spend minimum $10 before taxes you get a free reusable bag. I had a little over $10 but they refused to give me the bag because I also used the $3 coupon which brought the balance down. I did not have this problem in the past. Did their policy change? Also their prices are way up, pecans are now over $20/lb, it used to be around $16. Did they raise prices and pretend there is a sale by giving 20% off? Don't think I will shop there much anymore. |
| mary - best service commented on Sep 25 2011 5:23AM |
| Hi shop at the merivale road store and have been to others in ottawa, they are always very helpful and courteous. The staff is great at this location and the others, its time you all realize the expenses of changing out bin lids getting competent staff and it a very hard market right now, and no I don't work for this business or company I am in retail and understand the market... Please send my thanks to the bulk staff... |

| Leah - refund commented on Aug 9 2011 9:53AM |
| I can't believe they wouldn't refund your money for food that didn't meet a customer's standards! The small price of the bar would surely be worth keeping a customer happy. |
| Bob - no return policy at BULK BARN commented on Aug 7 2011 8:32PM |
| Went to take back a packaged bar of halizah becuse it was AWFUL store manager said NO RETURN on food items???? Other food stores would keep customers happy and give you a refund?? |

| Happy with the staff at Stratford; they don't get in the way and are usually nearby to assist. Yes, you have to be careful with the prices of some items; know comparative prices and shop around. I don't get flyer in mail, so I check online; and ask for $3 coupon off at the cashier. |

| Erin - Bulk Barn in Burlington - AMAZING!!! commented on Apr 26 2011 4:45AM |
| I have read some of the complaints people have with the Bulk Barn... and I want to say that I love the one in Burlingotn! The staff is friendly, store is tidy... and when you need help there is always someone around to help you... even with a smile! I never feel like I am followed around, or stalked... Great store to shop in - and I decorate cakes so I am in there atleast once a week! |

| Smart Shopper - prices are high commented on Apr 16 2011 11:08AM |
| please see Sept where prices are listed for Bulk Barn versus other luxury grocery stores. That is evidence their prices are higher. I don't really care why their prices are higher, but good to know as I think we assume bulk = cheaper which is obviously not the case always. |
| Kelsey - Anonymous - valid concerns commented on Apr 15 2011 9:36PM |
| I think overcharging in this economy is terrible. Check out the sugar and nut prices.Way higher than grocery stores. Terrible! Also, If people can't get their food out easily because the lids close that's a concern especially for seniors! Coupons hard to get? HOurs not posted? Those aren't valid? If you work for bulk barn this is not the place for you to speak rudely to customer concerns. If it puts people off shopping here it's a valid concern, and people have the right to express that. |
Flyer week: Apr 09, 11 - Apr 15, 11
| annonymous - ---- Kelsey commented on Apr 14 2011 10:04AM |
| Whats so valid about these "complaints" anyway? Complaining about lids not staying open ...is that a VALID concern? and as for everyone talking about prices. Its not bulk barn, its the economy!!!! prices are crazy high everywhere in the country right now.. So please enlighten me on some valid concerns and maybe someone will pay attention. |
| Kelsey - to "annonymous" commented on Apr 11 2011 6:55AM |
| Maybe the customers have complained and it's not been dealt with. Also, shouldn't bulk barn look at the negative comments and perhaps address the valid concerns? |

| Larry C - bin lids commented on Mar 25 2011 11:24AM |
| why don't they have bin lids which will stay open when trying to scoop contents into their plastic bags. I don't have three hands, one to hold lid open, one to hold scoop, and one to hold bag open. |

| Chris - coupons commented on Mar 10 2011 4:41AM |
| There are bulk barn coupons. Mostly $3 off if you purchase more than $10. Chocolate covered almonds usually is usually what I get then or cashews. In any case you gotta shop around to know what the prices are before you say they have high prices. |

| Nat - bulk barn commented on Mar 3 2011 12:03PM |
| I think it depends where you live and what other stores are available in your area. I would love to shop at another builk store but in Cornwall, there seems to be only the one bulk barn; even grocery stores don't have a bulk section. The staff sucks because it's a bunch of kids who don't care about the customer or their job but that's who is willing to work at a cash at any store or restaurant.(I can't find a nice friendly helpful person in walmart either and fast food is aj oke for service) The food has always been good, no stale food, and yes some prices are high as compared to other grocery stores but then, that's why groceries are done at multiple stores and not just the one. Idon't doubt some stores are worse than others but the one here is just fine. |

| i did like shopping at the bulk barn in keswick until the old hags start following you around like your going to steal a peanut they really need to go back to playing with there scoops and stop making people feel uncomfortable i will never go back. |

| Wendy - slackers commented on Jan 23 2011 8:01AM |
| I find the staff at the Aurora Bulk Barn give one word answeres to your questions, or say they don't know, then continue chatting with their friends. They are not well informed or helpful. |

| Adam - re: Christines comment commented on Dec 2 2010 10:04AM |
| I agree. A lot of the good staff seem to have left. Grumpy customer lineups probably doesn't help. Always new people in Aurora who don't know the codes or the food. |
| Christine - Bulk Barn is really quite good commented on Dec 2 2010 9:03AM |
| I find the product to be fresh and tasty As in any store you have to shop around for good deals, ie: Sale Items. We all complain about bad service no matter where we go and as you should as a customer you need to be treated as one, but how many of us have gone out of our way to let the people or there managers know when they have gone above and beyond? The more you recognize the good workers the longer they will stick around maybe even be promoted and then guess what the good workers are still there and happy, think about it. Coupons are not always available on the website just keep your eyes out for them, that's standard in most stores. As for bringing your own measuring cup, bulk barn has standards all the scoops are sanitized daily so why would they want a possibly dirty measuring cup in the product bins? It's for everyone's best interest you use the scoops and they look to be a cup or a cup and a half. From my experience this is a great store to have fresh food friendly service and the spices are amazing so many to choose from it's a baker/cooks dream. :)A++++++ |
| Jen - prices are high commented on Nov 30 2010 9:09AM |
| Last year I bought my Christmas banking ingredients at Bulk Barn. This year I went to No Frills and was shocked at how much better the prices were there. I bought a huge container of dates for $3 and a big bag of walnut pieces for $5, icing sugar and white sugar are much much cheaper at NO FRILLS! |

| Janet - Just Bulk commented on Nov 16 2010 9:59AM |
| Wow just went to Just Bulk and it's amazing. Very clean and uncluttered, and has products Bulk Barn doesn't have (mini rolos, mini peanut butter cups, sugar free gummies, all in bulk). Very friendly and when I asked for a coupon they gave me one!!!!!!!!! Forget Bulk Barn. |

| Kristine - stale commented on Oct 14 2010 7:32AM |
| I think the Aurora one dumps the fresh food on top of the old stuff instead of getting rid of the old, because sometimes the nuts are really broken and old. |

| Andrea - Youtube videos commented on Sep 27 2010 6:41AM |
| What's with all the kids getting kicked out of Bulk Barn all the time?I don't believe its just kids sticking their hands in the food and eating it. |
| Karen - Bill commented on Sep 27 2010 6:19AM |
| If you work for Bulkbarn you might try being a little less hostile and condescending to your customers - jerk |
| Jill - Strictly Bulk commented on Sep 26 2010 6:19PM |
| Has anyone tryed the new Strictly Bulk stores? They advertise that they don't have the packaging that bulk barn has when it is shipped to the store, so saving the environment and lower costs. |
| Brenda - re: stale food commented on Sep 26 2010 5:39PM |
| regarding the stale food comment: raw nuts and rices do not have a long shelf life, so only buy what you're using in the near future ( think days and weeks, not months.) There are probably other things best consumed quickly, if you research. |
| Bill - to Gail commented on Sep 26 2010 5:04PM |
| Well actually if you must know Gail the bulk barn website is www.bulkbarn.ca..try looking it up |
| Gail - to Bill commented on Sep 26 2010 4:42PM |
| I think this is the Bulk Barn website. It's definitly not a therapy website Bill, so move along. |
| BILL commented on Sep 26 2010 12:38PM |
| I dont understand if a cashier opens another line and there is 8 of you in the other line why would you just stand there and look at them! be proactive and go OVER TO THAT LINE!! Stop complaining it is your fault! you could have gone to the other line but you chose not to! Also just because you don't see something happening doesn't mean its not being done, scoops are cleaned daily.. Oh and not sure if you people noticed but this is NOT the bulk barn website. |

| Barb - mould commented on Sep 19 2010 11:54AM |
| I bought some candy which was reduced because it was a summer candy. I was assured it was good. When I went to give it to my kids, they noticed mould in the bag. It wasn't a lot of money, but I don't appreciate being sold mouldy food that could make us sick at any price. |

| Mic**e (again) - RE: Morningside location commented on Sep 12 2010 12:50PM |
| okay, so I am responding to my own comment. It is listed under Toronto, which is completely ridiculous because it is ceratainly NOT in Toronto. It is in Scarborough. Stupid people think that everything on Kingston Road that isn't Pickering or more Eastward is in Toronto. Scarborough does exist, you know. |
| Mic**e - Morningside location commented on Sep 12 2010 12:47PM |
| there is a new location in Scarborough at Morningside Ave and Kingston Road and it is no where to be found on here. It's as if they have not accepted it's existence yet. I just want to know the hours of operation. |

| Smart Shopper - Way to pricey commented on Sep 5 2010 7:48PM |
| Since 2009 their prices are way up and higher even than 'luxury' stores like Metro, Sobey, etc. Few samples (prices are approximate I was too upset to write them down when I saw them): Bulk Barn (proces per kg): - raw sunflower seeds - $6.00 - dried blueberries - $60.00 - kasha - $6.20 Metro - raw sunflower seeds - $4.40 - dried blueberries - $42.0 - no kasha but at highlandFarm you can get it for $3-4/kg or less. |

| I like the bonus coupons and can always find them in the flyer. Easy to print one off the computer too. (for those who are having problems with this (?) just click on the spot on the flier and you will find the page with the coupon) I always look for the specials and find the products fresher than the grocery stores. No problem withe cashiers in Windsor, Always enough and they have always been very friendly. Have always had good shopping experiences here. |

| Deb commented on Aug 15 2010 4:14PM |
| I regularly shop at the Aurora Bulk Barn, and have had no problems with the staff, the products, or the scales (learn HOW to read them). I do believe many of their prices went up though. |

| Adele - LINEUPS commented on Aug 8 2010 8:09PM |
| I totally agree with the lineup situation. I was in Aurora, there was a lineup of 8 of us. The other cashier came and served 2 people, then left even though there were another 6 in line still! Other places do not have lineups like that without getting another cashier. |

| Betty - cashiers commented on Jun 12 2010 7:28PM |
| I know this makes me old fashioned but why do the girls working there have to look goth with dyed black hair and nose rings and tattoos? I thought the food industry had standards for this? Common courtesy wouldn't hurt either (ie: please , thank you) |
| Anne - Crystal CHILL commented on Jun 12 2010 7:25PM |
| Ha ha relax. If you don't want to see comments don't read it. People are saying what they've experienced and you can't call them insane for that. And I'm sorry you have to read everybody's comments and have nothing better to do !I find the prices have gotten quite high and germs are always a concern these days. |

| Bill - PACKAGING commented on Jun 3 2010 7:21AM |
| Sorry to disagree many products DO come in small packages I have seen the employees opening packs of candy,cookies, etc. to refill the stock. Perhaps things have changed since you worked there. Don't know about the cleanliness but that depends on enough staff at different locations I would say. |

| Crystal - Insane commented on May 31 2010 1:28PM |
| So I have read every single persons comment on this page. 1st yes they should post their hours I agree 2nd all the people that have made a stupid comment are really mostly complaining about what they do themselves in the stores... Bulk barn is a good company. I used to work for one and it was organized.. food did not come in small packages like someone had said, scoops were constantly cleaned so the risk of bacteria wasn't there... This is the thing people don't always see this and in todays society everyone is a snob... just relax!! Prices ... well everyone complains about prices right now no one has money and there are yes something that are lower in some stores and not in others thats the way its always been... you have to shop around. the Bulk Barn prices are really not that bad... you people just want to complain... |

| Why does the website say you can get the coupons at the store. The cashiers look at me like Im trying to steal something when I ask them, and either refuse or say theyll give me one when I leave the store! If they dont want us to use coupons, why issue them |
| Sheila - HOURS!! commented on Apr 3 2010 3:27PM |
| It would be nice if the hours were provided for the holiday weekend like all the other stores do! Also, why are all the locations different hours? Sounds a bit rinky dink to me. |

| Linda1 - measuring cups commented on Mar 25 2010 2:23PM |
| I know that I can't dip my own measuring cup into a bin, but do they allow you to pour your raisins, nuts,whatever from their scoop into your own measure ? Hust want to ensure I am getting the exact ingredients for a recitp without having leftovers...... |

| Janine - weighing products commented on Mar 17 2010 8:39AM |
| Well interestingly enough the scales at cash do not match the scales in the store, and I was told the ones at cash (which weighed higher) are accurate. Huh? |
| robert - coupon commented on Mar 16 2010 12:50PM |
| actually the online coupon isnt accepted I tried! Yesterday I shopped at superstore, and I find their bulk food prices and cleanliness far superior. |
| Jordan Hennebry - Bulk Barn commented on Mar 15 2010 2:11PM |
| Hey everyone I just realized bulk barn has a new website with weekly specials, store hours, baking tips and a ton of other cool stuff. They even have product profile pages. There is even an online coupon you can print off.... Also in terms of the scales, weigh the product yourself when you pick it out of a bin and make sure that when they ring it through the cash, the weight you are charged for reflects the weight you initally weighed. I personally loves this place...everything you need with the exception of beer :) check it out... |

| maybe if somebody does this they could post the results? It would be great to know, because I don't feel their scales are accurate either. |
| Dustin - Easy Scale Calibration Test when Shopping BulkFood commented on Feb 19 2010 1:40PM |
| Hey, I just read a comment on this site about how often places like these may or may not calibrate their scales... Here is an easy weigh to know if they are on the up and up... Just simply ask the attendant to weight a single $1 dollar Canadian coin or Loonie as we call them. If the scale is true it should weigh 7 grams exactly. If you have a dime <2001 it will weight .1 grams or >2001 it will weight .9 grams. Since everything is bagged or binned, they should have no problem doing they request. Your Welcome. P.S Totally Ironic coinsidence is that my Anti-Spam Word to type in is scale... No lies |

| I find the Bulk Barn in Dundas to be one of the best I've been to. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They know the products and there codes so cashing out is quick. I find it convienient to be able to purchase just the ammounts i need without having to buy a whole bag in the supermarket. This store is very busy so all the product is fresh. great job dundas |

| Todd - scales commented on Feb 10 2010 9:19AM |
| I think Bill has a good point. When I needed to be credited because the cashier made a mistake with the code it didn't weigh the same! |
| Bill - Scales commented on Feb 10 2010 9:08AM |
| I was just wondering how often they calibrate their scales. Not only them, all grocery stores. Who is to say that they are not calibrating their scales high and charging us more for less. I feel like finding a government issued 10 gram weight and have them put it on their scales to see the exact weight measurement before they weigh what I am buying. |

| Ron - Organika Inventory commented on Jan 28 2010 6:17AM |
| Orangeville & 2 Brampton stores have been out of stock of Organika brand CURCUMIN since early December. Clerk told me they had no control over inventory. |
| Shannon - re: staff not knowledgeable about products commented on Jan 25 2010 3:40PM |
| I agree the staff don't know about the products, but they're just kids working there mostly, which is a whole other issue. |
| Kelly - prices high commented on Jan 24 2010 4:33PM |
| Yes the spice prices are ok but the other prices are not. The nuts and baking ingredients are a complete ripoff. If they're busy and selling lots the food's fresh, if they're not, like outside major baking seasons, they're stale and old. I also find the staff know nothing about the products. |
| Admin - bulk barn finally has an online flyer commented on Jan 24 2010 10:48AM |
| Bulk Barn has finally decided to join the 21st century by posting their flyers online. Thank you John for letting us know. You make some very valid points Deb, it will probably save you in the long run if you buy what you need rather than buying prepackaged sizes because it's money down the drain if you don't use it up before they go stale. |

| Deb - Lots of negativity in these comments commented on Jan 23 2010 11:49AM |
| Wow, a lot of negative comments about Bulk Barn. I think they're great for bulk spices personally, and I buy all my spices there regularly. I've never had a problem with anything being stale. Sure beats buying them in conventional grocery stores. Talk about a rip off for those little bottles of stale spices those stores sell! I used to buy my spices in the pre-packaged bags in the grocery stores, because they were cheaper than the bottles, and found that they would go stale anyway, because it was usually too much of one particular spice for a family of two. So I'll continue buying my spices at Bulk Barn and paying pennies to fill my own bottles at home. And it's great to see that so many people here won't shop there, because it makes the check-out line shorter for those of us that do! |

| Suzanne - h1n1 flu commented on Jan 21 2010 12:58PM |
| With flu season about to peak there's no way I'm going to shop there. Everybody touches the same scoops and some people put their hands in the food barrels. |
| Helen - english commented on Jan 21 2010 11:21AM |
| I shopped at Aurora and could not understand what the lady was saying her accent was so strong! I then was told I needed to provide the code for my products. How ridiculous! I also waited in line while she chatted with her friend ahead of me which I didnt appreciate at all. Also whe had no product knowledge. |
| Natasha - PACKAGING IS REMOVED commented on Jan 21 2010 11:10AM |
| AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOP HERE TO AT LEAST SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT BUT GUESS WHAT, THEY UNPACK ALL THEIR BULK SNACKS AND CANDY FROM SMALL PACKAGES ANYWAYS! NO WONDER THEIR PRICES ARE NOT LOWER. I ALSO FIND STAFF EXPECT YOU TO PUT A CODE NUMBER ON PRODUCTS, ISN'T THAT THEIR JOB TO KNOW THE CODE? |
| Anne commented on Jan 18 2010 4:54AM |
| I asked at a Bulk Barn and they don't even have an online flyer , the only time you get a decent price there is if it's on sale |

| After seeing all these negative comments, I am not sure I want to waste my breath going to the Bulk Barn. From what I see, the food is not fresh, no coupons, very expensive. Am I better off at my regular supermarket^^ |
| Heather - High Prices commented on Dec 26 2009 5:51PM |

| Mike - high prices? commented on Dec 22 2009 6:39PM |
| high prices? ok, so you save $ .10 per 100g of (let's say) walnuts - but compare the look and the taste of BB walnuts and walnuts from other store... other thing - if I really want to save on everything I could get just by one visit of BB, I would have to go to 2/3/etc. stores. that means more time, more gas... do I really save something? |

| Robert Parker - Bulk Barn is not a good corporate citizen. commented on Dec 17 2009 2:13PM |
| Bulk Barn is greedy. I find their prices way to high, and have started to shop at other grocery stores that offer bulk food and better prices. And the idea of no coupon is so out of date, one only has to go to flyerland.ca to get coupons from many stores. Get with it Bulk Barn, your losing customers, you lost my business. |
| Fudge Lady - Prices are way too high! commented on Dec 14 2009 3:37PM |
| I make fudge and compare prices on all my materials used in making fudge. I find each and every ingredient I use is higher at BB than at any grocery chain, online distributor or any other retail establishment. That's with the packaging and ease of shopping. Bulk Barn is pricing themselves out of the market- I tell everyone the same, don't shop there is you want to save $. |

| Piranha - Using Coupons Wisely commented on Nov 26 2009 9:56PM |
| Most stores only allow you to use one coupon per store visit so here's a little hint to get your money's worth: 1. Shop with another person and split the order so each order meets the $12 min. Have the other person cash out as if it's "their order". 2. Seniors Day/Student Discount Days! EVERY WED: Put all your sale items together and use the coupon on those items. Everything else not on sale use your senior/student discount :) You pay twice using two different transactions but you save more. |

| Ian Craig - Bulk Barn - Downhill Trend commented on Nov 12 2009 1:34PM |
| Used to go here regularly. At some point a Senior Exec must have felt they could get the same pricing on unpackaged foods as makers who package their product and upped all their prices accordingly. I still look briefly, but never see anything worthwhile going to their store for. They're being way too greedy. So I hardly ever go anymore |
