I asked the friendly beautician if I could take some perfume samples with me as I was traveling from another province. She gladly gave me some. My husband and I also bought some snacks for the road. Lots of choice. Many items on sale. Clean store, though the lights are a bit dim.

Bulk barn is a bulk food store that sells things like a variety of grains , flours , powdered…read moresauces ,cous cous, noodles, powdered drinks, nuts, dried fruits , a huge variety of candy , and snacks , cold pie fillings , granola etc. They even carry organic and sprouted items at decent prices. I would love to see them continue to expand their organic line. They carry Nature's path products , dog and small animal food plus soap and they even rent out baking pans . They have a huge variety of them. I have visited 3 Bulk Barns Charlottetown, Moncton and Summerside and truth be told if it was not for bulk barn I would have starved the first month I was in this area. While I may eat junk food when I am out at home I cook healthy organic vegan / veggie stuff which for some reason has not really caught on here in Eastern Canada. Anyway that being said this Bulk Barn is larger then the one in Summerside and about the same size as the one in Moncton, hence they carry more items then the Summerside one. Also just a warning their prices are excellent on some things and highway robbery on others PLUS not everything here is healthy , its just as bad filled with preservatives and chemicals and fattening so READ the little red & white recipe/ ingredient cards they have on each barrel.

This is probably more of a review of Bulk Barn as a whole and not just the store in Charlottetown…read more But I love everything about Bulk Barn. I've been to stores in Charlottetown, Moncton, Halifax, Toronto, Montreal, and St John's. I love the concept and business model of bulk stores and would love to see them in the US.

Pin Yuan is a Asian food store in the Belvedere shopping center. If you blink you may miss it…read more Though it is a small shop it is packed with authentic Chinese & Japanese ingredients for cooking as well as some frozen heat and serve Asian foods including Vegetarian staples. Chili paste, oils and dry peppers, noodles ( ready to make & plain so you can add your own ingredients ) ramen, soba , somen, Cheong ,Mi Xian. ( some of these are from memory but there is both Japanese & Chinese noodles) They have various sauces and flavored cooking oils, several types of rice ( Cal Rose short grain , long grain jasmine ect.) They also have teas, sweets ,ice cream, ginger, adzuki beans ( you can make adzuki bread or adzuki buns!) There were more things packed into this neat , clean and well organized small shop but well worth the trip for items that are not at the regular grocery store. I only wish they had enough room for fresh veggies but I am grateful for what they do have. I am so happy we found this store and will be back for more supplies.

I've never seen a sign saying "Pin Yuan" - the sign says Asian Food Store…read more I really like this little grocery store. They have lots of merchandise squeezed into their little shop. Don't be afraid to check out the fridge and freezers for more items. Nothing here is particularly expensive. The staff is friendly as well. Overall, it's great that we have such good access to Asian food in a city as small as Charlottetown, so I try to shop here as often as possible (even for things I can get at the grocery store).

What a lovely health food store! As soon as I walked into the shoppe I knew I was going to love it!…read moreIt is small, but well stocked with just about every imaginable item. We were in PEI for a family vacation in September and we made a special trip into Charlottetown to enjoy the sights but also to come to the Root Cellar for some essentials that we needed back at our cottage. Among the things that I came in looking for was activated charcoal and admittedly I was a bit disappointed that the store did not carry it. It was explained to me by the sales assistant that the local supplier does not have this particular item in their inventory but they were working on locating it elsewhere. Despite not being able to get activated charcoal, I was truly impressed with the selection of products. The Root Cellar must have the best selection of Weleda products outside of Switzerland! And a huge assortment of all-natural toothpaste and personal hygiene products and lotions specifically designed for babies. Also, in the back of the store there is an impressively large selection of non-perishable grocery items. I walked out of the store with a bunch of things and wishing that there was a Root Cellar in Montreal.
