    Chris and Samia's No Frills - Inside the store. No frills, like the name. Very utilitarian, but I don't mind.

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Discount grocery store, but prices…read moreare only slightly lower than regular grocery stores, no huge discounts. Big, bright and clean though. The Long Version: The No Frills brand has a special place in my heart because growing up my mom regularly took me to No Frills and Valdi all the time (on Eglinton near Dufferin, in Toronto. The Valdi is long gone, but the No Frills is still there. Likely different ownership, but I'm not sure). Back then No Frills stores were a bit dark and dingy and really felt like a discount store, and their prices were quite lower than regular grocery stores, but these days most No Frills are big and bright, and their prices are just slightly less than regular grocery stores. They are still rather utilitarian looking so they are still true to their name of being without frills, but the discounts aren't really there as much as they were in the past. This specific location on Grant Carmen recently opened in 2024. It used to be a Your Independent Grocer. The location is a bit tucked away. There's lots of free parking but the layout is such that there are no parking spots close to the entrance, not even accessible parking. So something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues. This location is a bit hidden. It's technically in the same plaza as the Winners, Dollarama, Melanie Lyne and Value Village, but it's hidden around the back. Ottawa did not have a No Frills until 2024. Prior to 2024, the only No Frills around were in Orleans and Stittsville, and Arnprior, but then a few Your Independent Grocer locations converted to No Frills. So I'm happy to have a No Frills closer to home. Review #23 (2025)

    With the brand new location for this No Frills, we now have a very nice grocery store within a…read moreshort distance to go to shop. This store has a huge selection of fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and many types of meat. The varieties of canned goods, packages goods, and cold/frozen groceries are numerous. There is very little that this store does not have on hand except a sundry counter that would include lottery tickets, etc.

    The Piggy Market is a cute little shop in Westboro that sells meats, cheeses, baked goods and…read moreprepared foods. It's definitely boutique-y as opposed to bargain-y if you know what I mean, lol. My husband loves their Jamaican beef patties, which are "homemade" as opposed to the highly processed stuff sold at supermarkets. I personally find them too greasy, but they are very flakey and filled with more meat than any other Jamaican beef patty I've ever seen! Their donuts are just ok, in my opinion, nothing remarkable. If you like European-style potato salads, I think you might like the potato salad at Piggy Market. The potatoes are firmer and it's less mayonnaise-y than North American potato salad. Their prepared meals are good to grab and go, but a bit pricey for what they are, in my opinion. For example, their vegetarian poke bowl is $14.50, which is about the same price as freshly prepared and customizable vegetarian bowls elsewhere. Pricing, aside, the food at Piggy Market is generally tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The shop is on a side street off the main drag. It's right by Winston Square, so when the weather is nice, you can eat at Winston Square. Street parking only.

    After years of searching, today I found the ultimate Jamaican-style patties in Ottawa-Gatineau. To…read moreme, The Piggy Market (bakery, deli and craft butcher shop), located in Canada's National Capital Region's Westboro neighbourhood, is making Jamaica proud! Over many, years my Jamaican born family members and I have scoured Ottawa-Gatineau, Miami and Jamaica looking for a Jamaican-style patty that can be described as 'nyam-ing' perfection. The Piggy Market delivers! How do they achieve this? I believe that it's all about their quality ingredients, mouth watering recipes, impactful blend of spices (flavourful heat) and a pastry shell that screams , "I am Jamaica Proud!" Today we visited for the first time and tried the Beef patties and Jerk Chicken patties. We're saving our next visit for Oxtail patties and any other patty menu items that we have yet to try. Every week The Piggy Market highlights a unique specialty patty on their menu. Note to the wise. Call in advance to find out what's available--what's on the patty menu that week.

    Not a fan of food basics in general as they're all fairly poorly run. This one isn't the worst but…read morealso isn't the greatest. I picked up some chicken breasts, dated to be good for 5 more days and they had a clear funk without even being opened, so they obviously did not come home with me. Self checkout is limited to 25 items- what difference does a cashier make vs self checkout? So was forced to go to a cashier, and she kept hitting the conveyer button on me as in trying to load my paid for groceries, even though there was an empty belt next to me. I got frustrated and had to ask her to stop as she was destroying my bread. If you're going to force me to go to a cashier, maybe make sure they have patience. Otherwise let me bag my own stuff in piece at a self checkout. They had most of what I wanted but not all, it is great for bread, pantry items etc, but always double check your meat and veggies for mold/funk 50/50 on getting good service from a cashier lol. Maybe she needs a coffee and a hug?

Here in Ottawa though, the amount of Food Basics stores greatly outnumber those of No Frills. Not all locations are equal. The Food Basics in Stittsville is much nicer than this Food Basics in Hampton Plaza. This one is a bit dirtier and the people here are a bit saltier, lol. My work colleague told me that she once sent her husband to this Food Basics to pick up something for her and when he got home he said to her "please don't ever send me there again!" Lol. I don't think it's that bad. I go there when there are sales. I also go there to poke around when I'm waiting for my pizza at Domino's, which is in the same plaza, haha. It's a discount grocery store with fairly good regular prices and really great sales. Not the nicest in terms of appearance or clientele, but hey, you win some you lose some. Lots of free parking in the plaza.
