Metro seemed to have fresh fruit and vegetables and a clean store to me. I went there at least 4 times while vacationing in Toronto and did not have any issues with the store or the service or the pricing and quality of the food. I recommend this Metro location if you are in the area. There is plenty of parking and the carts are free.

My husband and I have used our local Metro store for about five years because of its convenience,…read morebeing situated just across the road from where we live. However, it always appears that we are under over-zealous scrutiny from security and staff each time we visit. We have no idea why...we spend a lot of money each time we shop and certainly don't act in a suspicious manner. Perhaps it's because we are a mixed-race couple, maybe dress too casually or are considered scruffy, too fat, too old, or a combination of biases? I understand a rise in the cost of grocery items correlates to a rise in shoplifting, but seriously, enough is enough already. We have experienced a plethora of odd incidents relating to staff following us, scrutiny from till operatives as we walk down each aisle and staff has literally breathed down our necks at the self-checkout, even when putting on my gloves after paying. Although we have joked about this problem, the realization that this does not happen elsewhere has clinched the decision to call it quits and not visit the store again. I believe it's better to have some self-respect and not allow retail employees to treat you in this manner... so Metro at 221 Lloyd Manor Rd, Etobicoke can go and do one...maybe hassle someone else with their "isms" for a change.

First ingredient (and therefore contains the most of)... water. There is sugar, cornstarch, caramel, salt..., something called processed cheese spread... and a whole lot of ingredients I can't pronounce. I should never had read the label, I feel queasy... I don't think Mr. Boiardi meant to have his recipe changed this way... Del Monte French Style Green Beans ** (2 stars) 398 ml can, unfortunately only 3/4 full of green beans after the salty water was poured out. Tasted okay but no excuse for short-changing me on the beans. Puritan Mild Chili (*** 3 stars) 425 g can, $1.25 at Dollarama, heat and serve... Hard grease floating on top, difficult to remove. Watery sauce, flavour not bad and mild as advertised. Aftertaste lingers, much water must be ingested after eating this to offset salt overload. Reading ingredient list: first ingredient is water, which explains the watery sauce. Not good value for money. Salt is 38% of daily need, which explains my urgent need for water for hours after. Lots of caramel and soy, not to be expected in chili. Note to self: stop reading labels, they are scary.

This doesn't cover the cost that I lost. The coupons state that they can only be used for one item. I had three items that were uneatable.

Scrooge McDuck must be running your refund department. Not only that, the lame coupon requires me to pay the tax on items I have already paid the tax on. Thanks for the insult Kelly from Consumer Affairs, Conagra Foods.

I spotted this new supermarket as I made a left turn from Highway 27 onto Finch Avenue West. I was…read moreheading to Wok of Asia to have some dinner. I needed to pick up a few grocery items, so dropping by Food World Supermarket afterwards was perfect. This building used to Rose Garden Banquet and Convention. I'm guessing that due to the pandemic, this business suffered and shut down. There is plenty of parking in front and around this supermarket. I backed into a spot and walked in. The doors automatically open, which is wonderful. This supermarket is located across from Burger King. I often frequent it when I crave a flame-broiled burger. Both are in the same plaza as Wok of Asia. It's clean and cheerful when you first walk in. You see cases of pop and sparking water. The produce section then greets you. I needed avocados and celery. Prices are either comparable to what you see at grocery stores like No Frills, but the quality is better. Both produce items that I grabbed were fresh and in great condition. This grocery store carries halal items. It features a lot of South Asian products, such as Parle-G and paratha. You also see ramen and Ribena, both of which made me love shopping at this store even more. I saw everything from custard to paneer. It does sell corned beef in cans and rose water in glass bottles. Cool! The meat section is impressive. It's huge with every cut of meat that you can possibly think of. You can get food to go. There's a stall within the supermarket where you can get pizza, shawarma, and more. I paid for my produce. The woman at the checkout was extremely pleasant and nice. I paid with my debit card. This store gives you a plastic bag. I thanked her and headed to the exit. Just before you exit, there's a stall that sells desserts, ice cream, drinks, and more. I asked the woman behind the counter whether their drinks have added sugar. They don't. The store goes with the natural sweetness of their fruit or veggies. I wanted to get the sugar cane and coconut hydrating beverage. She had run out of coconut, so I got a large sugar cane drink. As she made my drink, I looked at the desserts display. There were individual portions of chocolate mousse cake and sponge cakes. You can also get milkshakes, ice cream, and more. She asked whether I wanted ice in my sugar cane drink. I said as much as the cup could fit the ice. It was perfect on a hot day. I asked the nice woman how long this supermarket has been open for. It opened on May 18th. I paid with my debit card. Done! I thanked the woman and left with my groceries and drink. The sugarcane was indeed the real deal. It was naturally sweet and yummy. I was happy with my drink. It was nice consuming it as I drove home. Whenever I was in the area to grab some dinner, there was never a supermarket close by to get a few grocery items. It's definitely more convenient now thanks to this Food World. (174)

The pots are all different also, there's one in a watering can, or organic pot, bird cages etc. The selection of housewares is all right. I went looking for wok lids, but they don't seem to sell lids on their own. Joe fresh is also located in the store. If you have caa membership, you get an extra discount. Great selection of health foods and organics. There's also a pharmacy, a bulk foods section, fresh fish, the produce seems fresh. Other than normal grocery store fare, they have a canteen, a women's only GoodLife and a pc cooking school!!! With the pc cooking school, you can get a complimentary meeting with the dietician and two follow up meetings. I never actually tried this, but it's a good offering. You can also pick up health info upstairs by the pc cooking school as well as recipes. My favourite class is the what's for dinner class, which costs $10, but you get your $10 back via gift card. Great place to shop, learn how to cook and even workout if you're a lady!

I never thought that I'd ever rate a No Frills this high, but this store deserves it. It's special…read more On Christmas Eve Eve (not a typo), I was at work for a year-end gathering. A snowstorm was forecast for the following day going into Christmas. I typically make Christmas dinner for my parents and me, so I moved it up a day and decided to get groceries on my way home. I had dinner in Etobicoke first. I then did a search to find the closest grocery store that would have stuffing and turkeys (not people, but the bird). I found this No Frills at The Albion Centre. I have been to this mall many times over the years, but never this store for groceries. It was a busy evening. There was construction down to a single lane along Albion Road. There were some impatient folks, but I managed to make a left turn and park near the No Frills. At first, my heart sank because to get a shopping cart, you needed a loonie to unlock it. Perhaps the stars were aligned that evening. I had a loonie with me and managed to get a cart. This No Frills is huge. It is my very first visit to one with a pharmacy. Sure enough, the pharmacy was open. It was cool checking it out as if it were an mirage. It's on the right side of the store when you enter the doors. The produce is fresh and lovely. It makes my local No Frills look shabby. I got all my veggies for my meal, including naturally imperfect carrots. A bag of them was $3. I'd sooner go with them than the organic ones that were going for double that price. I liked seeing individual-sized St. Hubert pies. I'm used to seeing a huge pie that feeds two people. It's nice knowing that individual portions exist. During the first year of the pandemic, you could only get huge turkeys. I had leftovers for weeks. It was refreshing to see four different weight categories for frozen turkeys. I went with a turkey that was roughly 4 kg. It was the smallest turkey that I have bought in years. I got stuck in the cereal aisle. The variety is impressive. I got a box of apple cinnamon Chex that I've never tried before. I also saw strawberry banana Cheerios for the first time. Despite being with shoppers who were also getting groceries before the snowstorm of doom was upon us, it was pleasant lining up to pay. Every single checkout lane was staffed and waiting didn't take long. Nice! I had the nicest woman help me cash out. I scanned my PC Optimum barcode from my phone and then paid with a debit card. I wished her a great evening and left. Once I placed my items in my car's trunk, I returned my cart to get my loonie. It felt old-school to me, except that the quarter that carts used to except has been upgraded to a loonie. Christmas Eve lunch turned out nicely, thanks to getting everything I needed for my meal here. I had a great experience at this store. I wish that my local No Frills was this great and inviting. It could learn a lot from this store, from providing fresh produce, to having friendly staff. (3)

My rating is 3.5 stars…read more After work last Thursday, I wanted to pick up some hand cream for my mom. She had cracked skin on one of her hands for at least a week. The hand cream that she was using wasn't healing a thing. I found one brand that seemed promising while doing some research online. The site said that it was available at this particular Shoppers Drug Mart. The store was conveniently on my way home from work. Then again, I cut across most of the GTA, so I pass by a ton of stores! This store is in a plaza. There seemed to be a Food Basics or some green-painted grocery store that has closed down. Shoppers Drug Mart is in the corner further down. The parking area can be a bit chaotic. It's an older plaza and the lanes are more narrow than what I'm used to in suburbia. This store has been here for a while. It has everything that you'd expect it to have, including a grocery aisle. I walked every aisle and could not find the hand cream that I was looking for, which was disappointing. However, there was a Gold Bond one that was on sale. It has been approved by the Canadian Diabetes Society. It has proven results. It was also on sale. I bought it! I dropped the cream off at my parents' place. My mom said that she would try the hand cream out immediately. This morning, I spoke to my mom. She said that three hours later, she noticed a huge difference. She no longer has cracked hands. Nice! She asked me whether she could pay me back. Hearing her say that this product works is all that I wanted. The lone cashier at this store was friendly and made sure that each customer was okay. She helped out a senior ahead of me. I liked the care that she showed and the help that she gave. I'd come back here again when I'm in the area. (157)

In all honesty, I do think this is a great retail environment and not only because I seem to always need what shoppers has to offer. They really have it right on the retail environment. The layout is great, the visibility is amazing (it's always the brightest store) and the staff is friendly enough. It has everything and the mix of retail and pharmacy is great...what else are you going to do while waiting for the pharmacist to mix all the magical potions and call on the gods to create that coffee syrup (ok I'm not crazy but sometimes I do wonder why you have to wait for your prescription when the doctor wrote down the exact amount and the type...is it the handwriting they are figuring out...it's got to be so we have to shop around right???)? In any event, I am possessive about this shoppers and glad that I got to review it first. If you're ever in the area, stop by, because I swear this specific shoppers has...everything......
