I really miss Safeway and their particular way of doing things, but I think thats more out of homesickness than due to them really being any better.. Actually I've been starting to think that Sobeys is doing much better with regards to their selection than their western competitors..especially in the organic/alternative department and with their gluten free products.. Since I live in the US, its still difficult for me to stomach the exorbitant prices of everything, but that aside I still think they do a great job and I love how well organized and clean everything seems to be.

We decided to stop in on the way back to pick up bottled water and a couple other things for our hotel room. I stayed in the car while my husband did a quick run in and out. He reported that the store setup seemed weird to him and he spent a lot of time looking for the maple cookies. Cashier was friendly, he just thought the layout of the store was confusing. Hard to comment about the prices because of currency in Canadian and we are from US so everything seems so much cheaper. Posted sign says 2 - 24 pk water for $5. That would be $3.66 U.S. Dollar!

This time, I was thrilled to find Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk Seasoning - something I had only seen in Jamaica. It's the best jerk seasoning for jerk pork/chicken/etc. In addition to groceries, you can fill your belly at their sandwich/soup/salad counter. You select the meat/cheese/veggies/condiments and bread, and they'll hook you up. I especially love the wide selection of salad items. Just point to what you want, they will up their mixing bowl and tossing up with your favorite dressing. All ingredients are high quality, fresh and delicious. I wish we had Pete's in NC!

I love Pete's hard to find unique and import items. If you're looking for respite from the…read morenever-ending monotony that is shopping at the regular grocery stores, I definitely recommend it here. When you walk into the store, the first thing you notice is all the British imported food and snack items.. Reminds me a lot of my childhood and I usually buy something for nostalgia sake. Right beyond that is beverage display case with all sorts of drinks you'd rarely see elsewhere. I especially enjoy their local and import ginger beer selection, as well as Ribena. Beyond that the store is a mixture of exotic cheeses, excellent produce, a deli, health food aisles and the British butchery. This butchery is especially known for its Nova Scotia lamb, which is the best I've bought anywhere around here. The beef steaks are a close second. Needless to say, due to the nature of the products sold here, the prices are exorbitant.. I keep Pete's as a treat to go buy a few luxury food items if I haven't entirely blown my food budget for the month. If my budget hasn't been blown yet, it's sure to be so once I'm done at the Frootique. While many of the items are quite unique, there are many food items that are..items which can be purchased at your regular grocery store for half the price (ie. many of the dairy products). I also think the space the store occupies is much too small... you constantly feel like you're in a traffic jam trying to navigate the narrowly jam packed aisles, and always a hair breadth away from knocking things over.. the store is so cramped, I picture knocking something over as having a domino effect.. dropped a bag of chips?...there goes the whole aisle. The check out staff are fast, friendly and on the ball with keeping registers open. I don't necessarily see this as good customer service, though... since the store is so cramped, if long lines were to form then customers in line to pay would take up half the retail space (I've seen this happen here more than once). I definitely recommend this place, though, even if just to window shop. You might discover something new on every visit.

The floral department has been going all out lately - lots of plants exploding out of the department - though I can't say about the quality as I've never bought plants from here. They have increased their Halal food section lately, and have a pretty good selection of dairy-free and/or gluten-free things for the size of the store. You won't find everything you need here (the Superstore on Barrington is a bit better for that reason) but it's pretty decent. The prices definitely feel steeper than at Superstore though.

And even the most vulnerable people need groceries, so it seems reasonable to think that a grocery store might be more cautious about a public health emergency than some other businesses. Masks are not required in this store, and haven't been in months. Most people in the store don't wear masks, including some of the employees. Nothing is done anymore to enable people to keep some distance between themselves and others. What finally pushed me to write this review is that, when I went a few days ago, there were people fundraising for something at the exit. None of those people were wearing masks, and their positioning at the exit made it impossible to avoid them. Just terrible handling of an ongoing crisis.

Deals are usually pretty good, and they usually offset what's on sale at The Atlantic Superstore. One thing I noticed is that they don't take Sobey's Club Cards here (anyone from Ontario will understand what I mean by this)- but they do offer airmiles instead, which is a-ok by me (even better than Sobey's points!) If you are looking strictly for groceries, this is an appropriate spot. Those seeking items beyond groceries would be best crossing Sackville drive and heading to the Superstore instead. One thing to bear in mind: the sign outside says that Sobey's is open 24 hours- but I recently learned that Saturdays and Sundays are an exception to the rule (I believe it closes at either 8 or 9...I just know it's not open all night).

The Slightly Longer Version: This urban grocery store reminds me a lot of The Kitchen Table of days gone by (in Toronto).

Prices weren't too high, reasonable for what it is. Store is bright and clean looking. It's not quite as big as Pete's Frootique on Dresden Row, but they are a bit similar. (192)
