Well, I wouldnt really put Gap and M&S in the same bracket as Primary, but zellers and winners are supposedly cheap. Remind me too much of TK Max so I tend to stay as far away from those shops as possible.

Wal*mart and Real Canadian Superstore do "cheap" clothing.

No kidding.
Edmonton isn't a tiny place - it will become very obvious once you're there what stores sell cheap clothing, what stores sell electronics, stationery, groceries, etc. And yes, there are even all the familiar global retail chains that are already familiar to you. You have 4 months - you'll figure Edmonton out within the first week. 
I do, however, highly recommend a visit to the West Edmonton Mall.

mmmm well it has its own hotels and theme parks - i'd hazard a guess at a lot bigger hahahaha I think its only just been overtaken as the biggest mall in the world - does that answer your question!!!

I could go on, I really don't think you need to worry, also when they have sales here they are great
