Commonly known as the«Banana Store» for the iconic fruit logo, No Frills delivers straightforward, low priced goods as promised. They have groceries: bread, veg, meats, snacks and sodas. They have toiletries. It’s basically everything you would find at a big box store like Zehr’s, minus the fancy displays, bakery, and deli counters. Without these extra perks, No Frills can keep food prices low. What I found were prices within reason: $ 2.00 bags of chips, $ 6.00 packs of bacon, $ 3.00 cartons of orange juice. These seemed right on par for what I’d expect to pay. Everything at No Frills was organized, even the bread section which looked ravished from the Labor Day weekend. My only gripe is that they make you pay to use shopping carts(I defiantly used a basket.) You also have to pay if you need bags. It’s not a flat fee, the clerk asks you how many bags you need. So, there I stood, looking at the pile of groceries and having to estimate the number of bags. Of course, I ended up with too few. It would be nice if they made a suggestion on a bag count at the till, which would save me and all those queuing behind me some peace of mind.
