Daughter and I had the opportunity to do a brief walkabout in this 'Choices Markets' recently,…read morebefore heading to lunch at a nearby restaurant. A first time experience there for each of us (though she had been into one of their other stores). We were certainly not disappointed with the wonderful variety of products -- both the familiar, and the rather unique to our usual supermarket shopping experiences. The store was certainly well-stocked. And many of the displays -- whether offering organic products, or not -- were interesting to see. I had expected to find some higher prices for items I know (= by identical brand and product), and purchase elsewhere. And from the time I had to look 'where' and at 'what' in the store, this was certainly confirmed by my observations. For us, going into this 'Choices' was an inquisitive, first time experience -- a brief look about, and we enjoyed that. We had not discovered a new-to-us supermarket for any regular future shopping. But it was one that could find us going back for some of their 'specialty', and/or difficult to find items as required.

Well, I guess I've never been to a Save On Foods in North Van before because I was impressed!!! I…read morewish we had this kind of Save On in Vancouver and Burnaby. I was so envious! The store was beautifully decorated and very clean and spacious. There was even a wine and beer store! There was a buffet serving Indian food! And samples were being given out all over the place - like Costco! LOL! Everything was impeccable and prices were the same as anywhere else.

Safeway has really pulled up their socks, in terms of prices and being more competitive that way…read more They used to be the pricey store on the block, now not so much. One big reason I shop here more often than before. Things I love: -Large parking without surveillance, or nasty 'no walk-off' signs. -Open til midnight, later than Superstore -Starbucks inside -Hot food counter with paninis, hot take out food, and great deli selection. -The best selection of flowers, plants and gift items anywhere. You can always get an awesome card & bouquet here, at 11:30 at night. -6 self-checkout kiosks, making it fast to pay and go. Things I don't love: -Long lineups for the hot food counter. That $4.99 lunch special brings people in droves. Avoid during the lunch hour, not worth the long waits. -The customer service counter being 'closed' meaning your bottle returns make you wait in line with shoppers with loads of groceries, for $1 return. This is a larger, more organized and newer Safeway, with tons of restaurants, shops along Hastings and liquor store right below. Cannot beat this excellent location central North Burnaby. They've gotten more gluten-free products, fresh, not frozen the past year. I'm buying more here than at Superstore which has surprised me. Nice 'hood with very few sketchy people, lots of parking, I've loved this Safeway for years.

Great location ( Downstairs at Madison Centre in Burnaby )…read more It's big, bright, and clean. Excellent selection, fresh produce and a bakery that smells amazing. Speaking of the bakery/ deli section - they have a huge display of wraps & tortillas. All sizes and varieties. Big bulk food isle as well that is currently open. They have free parking and carts are only a quarter deposit. Prices are quite good. Way better then my Downtown market options -which have half the selection with nearly double the cost. Be sure to get your Save-On-More card to get the lower prices (as per signage on applicable products) Self check out is a breeze and you're on your way !

Surprisingly large underground supermarket inside this office complex…read more Free parking is available underground (P2). This lot has to have the weirdest layout in town. It looks like they mashed 3 separate adjacent parkades together, seeing as how one has to go down to P3 then back up to P2 to get to this area. I can't even describe how to leave, other than that the Rosser exit is accessed by going UP and the Lougheed exit is accessed by going DOWN. Once inside, the area looks pretty clean and modern. Very different from the 1990s orange/blue look. Guess I've been living in the past. Pricing is fairly decent, with plenty of discounts. The discounts require a More card. Another thing to stick into my wallet, since there's no app as of the time of writing, which honestly sucks. Layout is fairly intuitive. Samples are no longer available thanks to a certain coronavirus. Definitely a good option for groceries other than that overpriced Whole Foods across the street.

Probably one of the few chain grocery stores I will review…read more Why? Because this one deserves special mention. It's in a strip mall in the middle of a residential neighbouhood right off a busy highway. The strip mall is deserted. Literally. One cashier is all that was needed on a Sunday afternoon. It's not busy in here. You can get the basics. Prices are OK, but of course Stupidstore will be lower in pricing, but you have to put up with the massive crowds. Pluses and minuses for everything in life.

If there is a health food item (Paleo, Low Carb, keto, gluten free, nut free etc) that I need, I…read morecan always count on Pomme having what I needed. Though not the best value, they make up with product selection and carrying hard to find products like Lakanto a gold sweetener and Lily's Stevia sweeteners chocolate chips at a times. Occasionally Pomme will have very good sale especially around Christmas with deep savings off holidays baking essentials. In the summer Pomme often carry organic fruits that beats Superstore price. Their veggies are a hit in the pricey side. Their chocolate, tea, spices and condiment selection is unmatched if you need to find things fast. I do head for Superstore across the street for a couple of items that I use often (almond butter, organic blueberries and avocado). Keto specialty food like kelp noodles, Konjac rice and Nu pasta are a fixture in the store but also often runs out. They also have a huge selection of gluten free keto friendly bread pastries and treats. I have tried a number of them but I prefer to bake my own at this point for freshness and value. But if you cannot have time to do your own baking, knowing you can grab a loaf of keto bread and box of keto cookies from Pomme is surely a great stress reliever. Have not tried too many of their cooked food offerings yet but around lunchtime it is usually busy with workers from nearby.

In the past, I thought the queen of price gouging was Canadian Super Store but I was wrong! Any time I go to this store I see prices are up compare to my last visit, yes we are in a recession , don't remind me that! How come in a recession one store can sell an item for 23.99 dollars and Pomme would rip you off at 36.99 for the same item!!! Not to mention other items like organic chicken at 29.99 !!!! I was at Pomme last night where I was shocked to see a Eco Max 200 loads at 36.99! Same product is 21.99 at Canadian Tire and 23.99 at Super Store (the queen of price gouging). It is so sad to see small business are thinking to become a millionaire over night by ripping off customers. I am not returning to this so called local store ( princess price gouger). Hope you go out of business soon for taking advantage of the situation.
