I don't eat cheese often but weirdly, I love their no name yellow bag of low moisture mozzarella. Great for pasta and pizza. Lobsters, available fresh from the tank for those special occasions. Also, I enjoy their wine area, the workers in that section and the wine selection. I discovered a XO mango habanero bottle of white that I really like for $12. Now, I'm onto their XO pinot for wintertime and steak pairing. Yum. I always buy candles in the home section. 3 wick. Parking is never a real issue but this is a busy place. Thankfully, they have self check outs so I can breeze in and out as I never buy too much at a time.

The store is big and bright, with an upstairs where they offer cooking classes for children and…read moreadults. There's plenty of parking around the grocery store, and there's a Tim Horton's next door (among many other things, in the plaza). You are greeted at the entry by the sushi counter, where I have occasionally seen someone making fresh sushi. There's a refrigerated display case right at this entrance where they entice you with fruit and veggie platters, and some ready made salads to go. I really like that grocery stores do that now! It's usually cheaper and quicker than getting take out. They also have a flower shop, and a small selection of clothing. This is one chain of stores that offers a coffee grinder, so you can get fresh ground coffee here (note: the machine was broken on the weekend of October 27-28 2018; I sincerely hope they will be able to fix it soon!) This IGA is one of the larger grocery stores we go to. It's central and convenient, and we usually go here every week.

Many times, I really need say, cilantro and jalapeños and they are out. So.. I end up having to make another trip elsewhere. The mushrooms which are a staple at my place are hit and miss re quality. I like that they have some PC stuff. I buy chicken breasts here sometimes... not great prices re meat but I find this store great for pet food, canned goods, pasta etc. Not many checkouts open, ever. I use self serve and I like it although that weight scale can be finicky! I bring my own basket. In and out.

It's so nice to have an affordable option in Ottawa's true west end - Kanata and Stittsville. We've…read morebeen watching this place being built from the ground up. It's kind of sad sometimes to see farm land and forested areas being developed, but the city is expanding and this is progress, so these are really all good things. This store really is big, bright and clean! Kudos to them for opening up during the COVID pandemic!! We will be going here often to stock up on affordable needs. They have a sign in the window that says something like: "affordable isn't a frill". So true, especially in these unprecedented times. My heart really goes out to the people struggling - either because of lack of work now, or because they are deemed essential... Thank you front line workers!

This Kardish is in the Stafford Shopping Centre in Bells Corners. Kardish is a natural food store…read more It's a chain and is quite popular in Ottawa. I would say it's very comparable to Natural Food Pantry. The selection is good, but the stores are not huge like Whole Foods. Prices are acceptable, but not as cheap as at Healthy Planet. They do have a clearance section of short-dated items, where you can get some good deals. They occasionally have samples of featured products. They are obviously not doing this during the current COVID-19 Pandemic, but in normal times they did. They have a points system but admittedly it takes a long time to accumulate points if you don't buy a lot of things there. I didn't know the details, but Robert from Kardish responded to my review and let me know that it's spend $350 and get $10 off and it's free to join (Thanks, Robert!). The store is bright and clean. Staff are friendly. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

I really enjoy the lasagna and French onion soup, any of their seafood items. I didn't love the chicken fajitas nor their version of pad thai but that's my taste. People say it's pricy here and it is but so is everything. I find I'm always in a rush so the single servings especially, are very convenient. I prefer this to say, fast food. The samples in-store are coming back very soon!

Love being welcomed in by all the beautiful produce. I usually find great specials in the meat section. Great steaks. Today, 2 packaged lobster tails were only $11.99. Major shortage of such beautiful shellfish going on which has generally spiked the prices. I linger too long in the baked goods section and caved today for the first time and bought some small cookies that I will freeze. I like their pasta choices as well as their snacks. I could go on. I spend less here than my closest store, Sobeys. People usually state that Farmboy is too pricey but I try and shop smart, so I disagree on this. Not many staff members on the floor to help you but the odd time you can get lucky and catch a sample. Today's was eggnog.

I missed going for a couple of weeks, and it gave me the winter BLAHs! LOL!! So, it's time to cheer up. This is not the biggest Farm Boy, but it's one of the older ones. I like that they sell things here that are not found elsewhere. And they offer a salad bar (presumably by weight), that looks intriguing, with wonderful large olives, and a variety of other fresh ingredients. I like their deli counter. You can get a sample items as you go along. I got slices of salami and wasn't sure which one to get, so I asked for a sample of that, and they gave it to me... Glad I asked too, because it was spicier than I would have liked! Farm Boy also makes their own versions of things, like a tasty, thick egg nog. There's a $1 surcharge for the bottle, which you get back when you return it empty. That's a nice touch! They also make house-brand salad dressings, and different oils which would make nice gifts. And generally every week I come back to see what flowers they have on display!! (Or that humongous pumpkin they are likely to have, leading up to Halloween. Watch for it!) So, I'll be back.
