I have heard a lot about Bulk Barn but I have never been to one. What do they offer? Do they have spices?

Yes, they do offer spices as well. I went to the one in Edmonton a while back. It's interesting to see what they carry.
Here are some images:

anybody been yet?how is it ?lotsa lineups?

Went there Friday, Line ups were OK.
Smaller food print than Edmonton South. Loads of specials. A bit of a trek, but if you are anywhere near the area, it's worth the visit.

Was there on Thursday, no line-ups. It's great to have around. Hopefully when they develop the name a bit (for those unfamiliar with it out east) they'll open a few more around the city. Noticed they've made an effort to expand the healthy side (goji, flax, etc.) compared to the last time I was at the one in Ottawa.

Yes went there today and it was not busy at all. It is smaller than the stores in Edmonton and probably does not carry everything. Not sure if they using this store to test out the Calgary market but lets hope it works out.

I finally made it to Bulk Barn on Friday afternoon. There were quite a few people in there, but there was no lineup, so it didn't take long to pay and get out of there. I was happy to find lots of raw nuts/seeds as well as some harder to find bulk ingredients like millet, hulled hemp seed, panko, israeli couscous, chia seeds, spelt flakes, etc. I know that I've paid a lot more for similar ingredients at Community/Planet Organic. Was really impressed with the prices as well. For example, steel cut oats were 13 cents/100g.
