1. Galloway's Specialty Foods
If you ever need a spice, dried fruit and nuts, this would be the place to go. I also am in LOVE with their tea selection. The prices are great and reasonable for the little specialty items that you won't be able to find in a Safeway. I did a…More »
2. Walmart
This is my dirty little secret! I love going here just to browse and see what is new. It has everything someone on a budget needs. If i need a number of items then I will take the time to drive here. Usually the savings doesn't outweight the gas…More »
3. Costco
I have mixed feelings about this place lol. I wonder if it is because I have to buy a membership to enter. Anyway, for a few items it is a great deal (i.e. grapes, canned goods for the larder) and for others the cost to get there does not out weight…More »
4. The British Store
New Westminster, BC V3M 1A8
(604) 529-1999
Categories:
Sports Wear,
Specialty Food,
Tea Rooms
For the most part this is a great place. They have recently done some renos and it appears they have taken out some of the merchandise that I loved going in there for. It's gone a little downhill. Not sure if they have changed ownership or if it's…More »
5. Marketplace IGA
I do like a lot of the items that IGA carries, however, I can usually find them for a lot less somewhere else. I find their meats are extremely expensive in comparison to either Safeway or Save-on, both of which are just a 5 minute drive away. They…More »
6. Save On Foods
I was really excited to have Save On Foods finally in New West. In other locations I have been able to find so many things that I wouldn't at Safeway, unfortunately this location is very small and I couldn't even get Oregano in the bulk section. I…More »
7. Army & Navy Department Store Ltd
New Westminster, BC V3L 1B1
(604) 526-4661
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Department Stores
This place is very basic and will sometimes shop here. Mostly for shirts, a jacket here and there and ALWAYS the annual shoe sale. If you haven't realized from my other reviews, I am a shopaholic lol. I just recently went to the shoe sale and…More »
8. Lonsdale Quay Market
North Vancouver, BC V7M 3K7
(604) 985-2191
Categories:
Shopping Centres,
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
I love coming here. It's beautiful, relaxing and one can buy some great food here. The best part of the Lonsdale Quay is the view from the top of the Q!
9. Safeway
Wow, this place has changed a lot in the 10 plus years since I worked here lol. For a Safeway it looks nice. There's a Starbucks right inside the doors and they have a BMO on site. What I like the most is that they finally made the exit door into…More »
10. Fred Meyer
Can you believe that until this past weekend I had never been in a Fred Meyer before? It sort of reminded me of Superstore but nicer colours AND a booze aisle!
My friend and I were wandering the beer aisle, as she needed some beer for the boyfriend…More »
11. Costco
OMG and I thought the Costco in Burnaby was a nightmare lol. I was sooo overwhelmed when I walked in here. My friend and I just meandered through and went directly to the beer aisle lol! I am sensing a theme on my grocery store trips in the USA…More »
12. Donald's Market
Ahhhhhh Christine you beat me to it lol!
This weekend was the opening of Donald's Market in the River Market, formally known as The Westminster Quay. I was super excited about the opening as I have been dying to be able to buy fresh produce at a…More »
13. T & T Supermarket
WOW...I need to go here and really check this place out. I have been on a mission to make my own Miso soup as I can never get enough of it and finding Miso paste has been so easy to find but the Dashi has not. After calling 5 local grocers I…More »
14. Pricesmart Foods
Do YOU like reasonable prices? Good organization? Fantastic bulk food sections? If you said yes to these three then this is the place for you!
It is a Save-On Foods affiliate but is much better priced! I know, I have been to both to compare…More »
15. Mary's British Home Store
Richmond, BC V7E 3A6
(604) 274-2261
Categories:
British,
Ethnic Food
Neighbourhood: Steveston
I am a fan of all things British and when my fiance and I were out in Steveston this past weekend I really wanted to stop here.
Where is succeeds it the "deli". Had a nice beef curry sausage roll and would LOVE another in a heart beat. Where it…More »
16. Thrifty Foods
This is the new grocery store for Sapperton. Overall it's very nice and although the name says Thrifty Foods it has some items that are pricier than that of Donald's Market or Safeway. Then again, it has some items that are less expensive.
It's…More »
17. Costco Wholesale
Abbotsford, BC V2S 8H2
(604) 850-3458
Categories:
Eyewear & Opticians,
Drugstores,
Tires,
Grocery
Was out in Abbotsford the other day and since I am a Costco fan I HAD to stop here. It was about 2 in the afternoon during the week and this place was a ficken MAD HOUSE. I would say that they deserve a 3.5 star but since I can't give that to them…More »
18. Safeway
I don't know about the parking issue or signage from 6th but living at the Quay I was able to walk there in less than 5 minutes which makes this a fantastic option. With gas prices the way they are, any reasonably priced grocery option within…More »
19. Buns Master Bakery
Every so often we stop in here for a bun or two. It's usually after hitting up Farm Town Meats next door. It's limited and a wee over priced for what they offer. If it were great quality at those prices then I would be a loyal consumer but it's…More »
20. Galloway's Specialty Foods
This past week I finally convinced the husband that we NEED to stop by the new location for Galloway's in Burnaby. Luckily we do have a vehicle so it's not too bad for us. If you were on foot, it's not a convenient location but then if I were on…More »
21. Canada Safeway Limited
The other week I was on a mission to find stamps. I had forgotten to go to the post office and just wanted to find a simple stamp to send a card to the US. Since I had worked at a Safeway millions of years ago I figured I would try them on my way…More »
22. LEPP Farm Market
What a great little place. I had the opportunity, thanks to an old cadet friend, to see Anna Olson bake here on Mother's Day (I have dogs, they count as kids lol). It was fantastic. Not only did I get to see and taste her baking, I also got a…More »
