Just saw this on Breakfast Television, 83rd Hadassah-Wizo Bazaar @ the direct energy centre @ the Ex (cne) opens today only @ 9am! Lots of bargains on almost everything! (clothes, small appliances, accesories etc.) Today only!:D
p.s. I heard on B.T people were lining up since 630am!
sorry just got some more info, admission is $4 and it runs until 7pm today! Also, a lot of the proceeds go to support several hospitals and womans shelters!

Darn, I went to this a few years back and every year try tio remember when it is on only to forget to take the day off and then see it on BT in the morning!! :mad:

Great bargains to be found if you don't mind going through piles of garbage to find them :)

Is this worth going to in the evening, if ppl line up at 6am??? Will there be anything good left?

Did anyone go?

I've never really went so this year I planned to go. Can't say I was there in line before they opened but I ended up going in the morning part of the day.

Quite honestly, looking around there was a lot of NOTHING ...
TONS of used clothes, stains on some shirts ... we saw this one girl trying on a jacket which she didn't even see the whole it had in the back, it was awful.

Don't get me wrong, there were some nice things to be had. Cheap jewellery (as seen in Jennifer's blog from City-TV), my sister got $5 earings.
Shoes looked awful by the time we were there, I'm sure ladies got pairs of shoes in the morning ...

Table full of purses had old or used purses, nothing really "worthy" ...
And I GUESS you could pick up a dress or wedding dress there, but I don't think I would personally :razz:

Leaving we felt like it was a waste of time and I won't be returning for a couple of years, at least.
$11 to park.
$12 admission (3 people X $4 each)
1 pair of $5 earings
2+ Hours in the building

No thanks.

Side Note: However THERE WERE people walking around with GARBAGE BAGS full of items. There was a table / section of toys that looked interested, probably able to get some good deals there.
People were buying things ... I'm just not sure what they were buying.
After it all, I just wanted to shop at Winners, I would have been better off.

hey the last time i was at this bazaar was 15 yrs ago!!! me & my mum, we love a bargain..but you have to be there EARLY or the good stuff is so picked over...its not worth going late. I guess its changed over the yrs?
