My opinion this is too many since the customer space is small. I then asked if we called in an order if we could pick it up. The man stated in a rude tone, not today we need 24 hours we have other customers. I stated I was just inquiring. I asked if they were busy at the moment, my mother who is a senior and lives with me outside of town was with me. I didn't want to leave her in the car for a long period of time- would have brought her home first. The man said in an angry voice well I can't tell you the day just started. If you call back at the end of the day I could tell you. I stated I meant did they have a long line, he said not sure and hung up the phone on my. Staff have been rude multiple times here but we go back because the product is good. We have decided now we will not return. We know these are hard stressful times but you shouldn't be that rude when someone calls ahead to take precautions or to ask what we needed to do.

Can find many international things, always pleased with Staff, they are kind and willing to help.read more

Typical grocery store. This is probably one of the nicer things in the run down West end of…read moreSudbury. The selection here is usually pretty good. The produce section is arguably the star of this store. My gripe and reason for writing this review is the deli. The deli staff really have no interest in customer service. A line up here is a death sentence if you are an elderly person in need of lunch meat. I have never experienced this at another grocery store in the city. I am not talking about one bad experience here. The deli is consistently a black hole for time. My advice is if you go here for lunch meat and there is no line you will have to sprint to the deli counter and hopefully get your order in under 10 minutes. If there is a person or two a head of you, do the rest of your groceries and then check back. It is arguably faster to raise your own livestock, butcher them and cure the meat on your own than line up here.

Boy, do I love Food Basics - not only because I'm a student, but because I enjoy getting good deals…read moreon items that are otherwise too expensive for me to buy on a regular basis. The equivalent back home in NS was No Frills, which I also enjoyed frequenting. Pros: - Very convenient location - I live right down the road and have found the South End to be convenient for just about everything I regularly need (banks, library, Dollarama, etc.). - A bus stop right by the parking lot and one across the street. - Fairly large parking lot. - As I'd mentioned earlier, the prices and deals are fantastic! Produce, meat, dairy, grocery...I've never found anything too expensive. I've compared prices in a few different stores and Food Basics wins out almost every time. - The selection is quite good - lots of variety in produce and a pretty darn good International Foods section means I'm content. - This location doesn't seem to be as hectic as the store on Notre Dame (thank god). I haven't had any issues getting in and out of the store in a reasonable amount of time. - My cats really like the grocery boxes I bring home. - Staff are pleasant. Cons: - Shopping carts are located outside, which I don't especially like, and they tend to take up too many spots in the parking lot. The cart corrals are often overflowing. In summary, this particular Food Basics has a lifelong customer in me.

Although they do have a massive selection compared to Walmart and you can actually buy many Canadian products and some from the local area such as: honey and coffee. If you like those specific healthy food they have it here. Good if your looking for something specific or better produce than Walmart. They surprised me with what products in bulk you can buy that Costco doesn't always have such as a 1.5kg tub of Greek yogurt, or huge tub of margarine. Not so hectic or stressful or give you that uncomfortable feeling when you look around at Walmart at all their ceiling lights. I got a great price on some clearance Legos in their massive Lego section. Comparing it to Walmart I feel you have a better opportunity to potentially save money on certain items as I feel Walmart is very fixed while this store puts on more sales/ deals. Along with using pc points or buying the No Name Brand It'd save you money to come here too. You do need a loonie for the carts but the universe and kindness of others has blessed me some of the time. Just watch out in the parking lot, but again it's not so hectic and more walkable unlike Walmart. I'd honestly prefer this store over No Frills as their prices and selection sucks. Im definitely adding this store to my rotation of Smiths market, Walmart and Costco. Shop local and Canadian when you can guys and vote with your dollars!!
