Sadly I don't believe I can shop here anymore... This is my favorite grocery store with the friendliest employees and it's quite literally a five minute walk from where I live.. and I love to support local businesses..
Since i moved around the corner I'd shop here weekly but now the prices are criminal... The only thing worth buying is meat... I get times are tough but I don't know many places greedy enough to charge $2 sometimes $3-4 above what I find to be average market price... I went there today, and got $35 worth of groceries where anywhere else would charge $20-$25 maybe even less.
$6 for a can of soup? $10 for a bag or box of cereal? $6 for a can of condensed milk? $7 for a case of bubbly? Doesn't sound like much... But add all of that together for the average person and compare it to the price of even the super store or Walmart.. and even Sobeys sometimes, let alone no frills for food basics...
I love this place... But it's gotten greedy... The prices weren't always the lowest but I used to be able to at least afford to ship here.. even my boyfriend complains every time we go in there about the prices and thats usually my job 😅... I won't be doing my grocery runs here any more... Ill come by to grab a $6 pack of hamburger and maybe the odd time if I'm craving or forget a single item and don't feel like taking an hour out of my day to travel to pick it up.. but asides from that I'm sad to say I can't support this place anymore and I hate to say that I need to go support a large corporation that's working to get these places out of business, and damn I can't say I'm surprised it's working...
If the prices were a little more reasonable I'd be happy to give it a 5 start review because of how great the people are, despite the customers xD including an old man trying to fight me and homeless people getting caught stealing.. it's entertaining at least xD (that stuff doesn't bother me I feel more bad for the employees having to deal with it) but yes... The prices are that bad to forget about all of that... When I can get twice the amount of groceries anywhere else for the same overall price I'm paying here for the SAME products... Sad part is, quite a few of the meat products have been expired as well, except for things like ground beef, chicken, pork, etc... be careful with the pre packaged meat...
By the way... If you think in wrong try looking somewhere else and you'll see the price differences
And I'd also like to point out the parking lot.. if you try to leave the back way, your going to destroy your back bumper... And it's been this way forever, they'll put some gravel down or something and it'll look fine, but when you go to drive over it.. BANG your cars f*cked... I know it may not be their property, but it is their responsibility to have it sorted out with the property owners or city or have it blocked off.. or they may have a law suit on their hands some day.. please at the very least put up a sign..
