Buy
Charlottetown contains two major shopping centres: the Confederation Court Mall (right downtown, across from Province House), and the Charlottetown Mall, which is just out of town in West Royalty, on University Avenue. They contain the usual anchor stores (Zellers, SportsChek, etc), as well as many smaller stores. West Royalty also has many stand-alone big-box stores, such as Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Future Shop, etc.
If you're coming to [Prince Edward Island] at all, its probably not to shop, but to relax. If you get off the beaten path, though, you'll find lots of great specialty shops just waiting for your business.
Groceries are readily available from many major supermarkets within Charlottetown, but make sure to stock yourself up for Sunday because very few stores are allowed to open on Sundays, with the exception of the 5 weeks leading up to Christmas.

There are some great Bed and Breakfast places like Fitzroy Hall on Fitzroy Street. A lot of the downtown B&B's are much better value for money than the motels on the edge of the city.
