Save On Foods

This is a great store with friendly staff. Today was the first time I was here and I didn’t see any carts and not only did someone tell me where they should be but she took me there and then took the basket from me to put away. Above and beyond for sure.
I did get their Tandoori Lemon Chicken from the deli which I have not seen in any other Save On Foods stores. And, it was so yummy. A little spicy I think for some people but everyone in my family loved it. And, deli sandwiches had a good deal — their gourmet sandwich/​chips and a pop… and the sandwiches were so different and fun to try. So, yes the food is great and service well worth it. I definitely know why I shop at Save On — maybe just not on the first Tuesday of the month around 2:00 in the afternoon!!! Why you ask?
Because, as I said when I went it was the first Tuesday of the month. And, when I entered the store I didn’t notice it but the line up for the cashiers was CRAZY. Now, I’m sure you are reading this and thinking she means Costco long lines. NO. I mean literally around the store, they needed a person directing traffic CRAZY. I was in line for 25 minutes before I was even directed in a cashier line up. And, then the person didn’t know how to ring in the deli deal I had — not only was the person line behind me annoyed, I was beyond annoyed. Yes, I saved, because thankfully I did have a Save-​on More savings card (can you imagine going through all that and not having one?), but was it worth it??? I honestly don’t know? How much is your time worth?
I will have to check it out again and let you know…

Love love love shopping here not usually crowded except on first Tuesdays for the 10% off sale it’s a mad house. Great selection and fresh produce. I favor the one on 111^st and ellerslie road. Great people working in there!

Staff here have always been very friendly and helpful. Save On seems to carry everything I need, as well as lots of organic fruits, vegetables, canned, juices, snacks, and more. They have a great selection. They also carry lots of local foods, such as many from Alberta and British Columbia. That’s just nice to see, foods coming from nearby home.
The downside is the price, as I usually go to Superstore for major items. However, for fresh produce, I would choose Save On. Their prices are the same as most other grocery stores.

This is my go-​to grocery store, the spot I will always hit before I try anywhere else. It’s a little out of the way for me, but I find the extra driving time to be worth it. This store seems to have an eerie ability to read my mind — whenever I need a somewhat unusual ingredient for whichever culinary experiment I happen to be conducting, I can usually find it there.
The produce, deli, bakery, and meat sections are all top notch and always well stocked. The store is always clean, and the staff all seem to be genuinely interested in their jobs — I’ve had more people ask if I’ve needed help shopping here than I can count.
You can usually find some pretty sweet sales on various items, the ones I’ve noticed the most have been for cheaper cuts of meat and such — last time I was there, I picked up a package (around 10 or so) of chicken breast fillets for $ 11. Perfect for slicing up and dropping into the soup I was making.
