Save On Foods

I used to live in this area and this was my go-​to grocery store at the time. When I’m back in the area, I like to stop here for groceries during the day as I find parking is ample and the process from shopping to checkout, a breeze.
Their selection of items is standard for Save-​On-​Foods. Service is friendly.

I used to work nearby, so was in here practically every day for lunch.
One of the things I liked the most was their selection of cut ready-​to-​eat fruit. Not many places in town have cut-​up mango, and mangoes are kind of a pain to do yourself, so that was great. Also pineapple. I did learn to avoid the apples and grapes combo because I would almost always find the beginnings of mold in them. Too much moisture, I guess. But only a small issue.
Parking can sometimes be a challenge since you have many different businesses using the lot during the day (including a GE outpost with a lot of employees).
Like many of the newer and revamped Save-​Ons, this one has a decent bulk department, and I also enjoyed their ready-​to-​eat foods. Several salads and the turkey wrap were usually excellent. Also, a small pharmacy area where I often had to stock up on allergy medicine.
The prices weren’t fabulous since it’s one of the wealthier areas of town, but for lunch, it was better for me than feasting on the fast food options like Dairy Queen and Wok Box and it was quicker than Famoso.

If you’re looking for a mega mart, this place is not for you. That is not to say their selection is poor however. It may not have the wide variety as the new supermarkets being built, but they still have an ample supply of food and non-​grocery items (books, magazines, dvds) in one location.
If you’re tight on time, this is a good place to grab a quick lunch. They offer a good selection of organic vegetables, which seem to taste better than other organic brands from competing grocery stores. Their candy section seems to be one of the best stocked ones in town, and their fruits and vegetables are always fresh.
This particular location has a nice clean environment and all the shelves were well stocked. They still maintain a ‘new’ environment to them despite being open for over a year now. Keep in mind that this Save On is located in an area which can get heavily congested when everyone comes back from work. If you are living nearby I would go, otherwise I wouldn’t go out of my way for this particular store.
