Many Canadians shop in so called department stores. These stores carry many items. From food to clothing and garden tools, etc. There are also big shopping centers in and around Ottawa. Those are the best places in the winter time since you can access all shops and stores under one roof.
There are also malls in Ottawa. There is a difference between a mall and a shopping center. In a mall you'd have to come out of one store, get in your car and drive or perhaps walk up to the next shop outside. The biggest shopping center in Ottawa is Place D'orleans. The busiest is the Rideau center in downtown.
.
.
What to buy: You can also find regular stores on the streets. Mainly in downtown, like on Elgin Street or Bank street. In these stores you can purchase gifts, food, instruments, clothing goods and electronics. You can also visit China Town on Somerset St to buy authentic Chinese food, fruits, vegetables and other items.
.
.
What to pay: You can spend all your money in Ottawa. Especially in a shopping center.

The Rideau Centre is a "classic" Canadian mall. Double doors, only opening to the outside does not look like a welcome to foreigners, but once you visit Canada in wintertime you will understand.
Inside you find a food court and a mix of 180 known Canadian shops and some temporay new ones.
There's a skyway to the Bay department store at the other side of Rideau St.
Shopping hours:
Mo-Fr: 9.30AM - 9PM
Sa: 9.30AM - 6PM
Su: 11AM - 5PM
What to buy: Fast food and for the rest it's up to your likings.

After tiring yourself out by sightseeing, this is the place to go. Retailtherapy. Clothes, souvenirs, shoes, camera, and wide range of restaurants. We bought shoes and had a nice meal in the shopping mall. Especially when it's cold/raining outside, this is the shelter for you.
What to buy: I don't know...I bought shoes, my husband bought cheap films in Japan Camera. Food there was cheap and good.
What to pay: As much as you want, as little as you want.

Unfourtanely I didn't get to look around and see what's really in this mall. But, I do remember walking into this big book store. It had a wide variety of books for all ages. Very helpful people there too.
What to buy: You will just not shop for one thing you'll shop for lot's of things. There's so many neat stores that you can be neat things.
What to pay: You'll spend a lot becuase there's some stores that you never get to see in your hometown. So, you'll spend about $50 or more.

Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, the Rideau Centre offers something for everyone. Conveniently located near all major hotels, a few blocks from Parliament and the Rideau Canal.
If you get tired of the mall you can always hop across Rideau Street and head to to the Byward Market which starts just behind The Bay.
