Decent place but always crazy busy, including the parking lot, when I stop by in the afternoons or…read moreevenings. As someone that uses a cane, I do worry about this. As many drivers are distracted trying to see signs, navigating their way to coffee fix and with this oddly laid out but decent sized parking lot it makes it a bit of a take a risk to shop vibe. As I do find the layout is an accident waiting to happen, I try to assess the busy level by driving by to do other things before going here. So far this is a good strategy for my mobility. The grocery itself is conviently located off the main highway and for Duncan, it is halfway along the drive itself. So nice to have a grocery in that area as you can easily add it along your stops. Food is always well stocked and place is well kept up. I always enjoy seeing their seasonal dispalys (turn right and near the floral area is usually where you'll notice the creation). Great selection of items like at any Thrifty's place but I do have to say for price point, I don't feel like it is a cheaper option (like the name might suggest to some). Staff is always friendly and quick to help if you have a question but you don't see a lot on the floor. So there was a few times I would buy vitamins and supplements if I had help locating them but there was no one to be found. That definitely could be an improvement being that they make an effort to stock so much for that section. I really do like their take away items for single people and always find something new to try when I'm shopping. Sometimes even as a gift for a friend. Overall a decent place to shop. Just be mindful of that parking lot situation.

Save-On-Foods is usually my go-to place for grocery shopping. As long ago I discovered their online…read moredelivery in Edmonton when I was on crutches and real deep winter was moving in fast - dangerous for cane users but worse on crutches. Back then the price of delivery was very minimal. With how the prices have gone up for all things, I'm not surprised about delivery fees but I do feel after a certain dollar amount it should be waived. As such, I haven't done any online delivery orders while in the Cowichan Valley but when able to log onto the platform (that's tricky on older phones), I have used the pick-up option. I also use their platform to price check and search products before going shopping. Personally, I also shop in this store. Most times when driving up and down the island, as well as when I'm spending time in Duncan. Easy to spot from both directions on the highway, however you do need to keep your attention sharp in the parking lot. As a driver and pedestrian - being there is a lot of people always coming and going from the grocery and the other businesses and restaurants. Store itself is kept up nicely and the few staff (on floor and cashiers) I had the pleasure to chat with seem knowledgable and truly kind to any customer. Disabled or not. One stock guy awhile ago even spent over 5 min looking for a specailty fruit drink (I was looking for the Karma drinks and yes it is carried here but not the one flavour I was looking for and not available individually to try the new ones to me either) and that effort was greatly appreciated by me. Especially as I wasn't able to do a lot of bending that day/didn't think to check the boxed drinks for that option I was looking for. I do find it odd that not once at this store (when I'm packing the groceries or the cashier is doing so), that no offer for carry out assistence is provided. Most times I would ask but as they already look so short on cashiers up front, I don't feel right asking for help on the slower mobility days. Always good selection of food options but price-wise, like most big groceries, you really need to know what you're shopping for before you get there. Or you could really end up leaving with two shopping bags with a total that should be for four. It's worth keeping tabs on their deals and ability to gain points. I got a turkey that was mostly paid by points this year and in past years (if I move fast enough for deals during black friday weekend), that same size of turkey is completely free. Layout wise is fairly similar to most Save-On-Foods. This is a good thing and a bad thing for those that struggle with moblity. You'll be able to find what you're looking for but if you are short on energy, walking distance is an issue or you can't be in a bigger store for a long period of time (maybe migraine sensitivity from music or light hits), this will be a big store for you. So often I go here when I'm with my friend who pushes the cart for our bigger shops or I know my energy that day is going to sustain my needs to take breaks while walking the long rows like most major stores have. I really do wish Save-On-Foods everywhere would have a few more end-cap fridge/freezer spots thoughtout the store for the many that do struggle with distances to walk and carry items (as not everyone can push an unfamilar shopping cart without hurting themselves). Parking here is not a problem. It is a giant parking lot, with some handicap spots. However, those few spots do fill up very fast. So I find it odd not more are available when you compare the number of stalls and the size of the parking lot, speed of traffic coming off the main highway and how busy this place can be (as it is right on a major intersection of Duncan just before driving into downtown and many other bigger stores and restaurants are all connected to this network of parking lot space layouts). So friends do look twice, three times if it's a foggy day, before going from your parking space over to the side of the grocery store and vice versa. Over all a decent store to stop for regular groceries and usually get home with a new item to try (be it crackers, cheese, ice cream or whatever has caught my attention and isn't too costly to try out).

The store was well stocked, clean and had friendly people working. A couple tried helping us when we didn't ask and were good finding what we wanted. They have 2 kiosks near the front with a few souvenir items but no postcards. The cashier tried ringing us up for something the person ahead of us had, and the separation bar was there. They ran after the customer to get it to them, leaving us and the rest of the line waiting for a few minutes. Great that they wanted to help them, but should have called for someone else to do that instead of leaving 10 people in line.
