    Extremely limited selection. If you want cheap wine or beer at an elevated price you found your place

    I wish I hadn't waited an entire month to visit this store! It is a special shopping experience. I…read morehad someone ask if I needed help and they guided me rather than pointing in a direction. I found exactly what I was looking for with their help. The selection of items from fresh food to whole supplements made me wish I had come more financially prepared for the shopping experience! Everything is clean, organized, and the setting gives off such a relaxed ambiance without feeling uptight or too trendy. I would shop here every single day if I was closer and had need. I look forward to coming back in a couple of weeks and will get more in depth with my shopping experience as I explore every nook and cranny this wonderful place has to offer. Friendly service, no empty shelves, and everything I picked up with fresh!

    We are fortunate to have Country Aire in Port Angeles. They have a diverse inventory-bulk foods…read moreincluding tea and coffee, organic fruits and vegetables, meat and fish counter, beer and wine, clothing, personal care, kitchen items, canned goods, deli, local stuff, etc. It's a really pleasant environment and staff. Some items are more expensive but there are weekly sales, coupons, and cash back if you sign up. Much of the organic fruits/vegetables are about same price as Safeway or Walmart. I love their bulk grains, nuts, dried fruit.

    We couldn't get enough of this place during our brief time on Saltspring Island. We stayed at the…read morehotel directly across from Thrifty Foods, and though most things were closed for the holidays- Thrifty was an open shining healthy beacon. I stocked up on organic trail mixes, kombucha, blueberries, stevia, matcha, and much more during my excited visits here. This place has everything that you could dream of - when it comes to health related goods and products. Their staff are laid back and they let you peruse everything without bothering you - so definitely feel free to take your time in here. I'm a firm believer that a quality grocery store can truly help shape the culture of a small town. Saltspring is blessed to have such a phenomenal resource like Thrifty Foods. Though there are plenty of lovely local farms on this magical island - it's nice to have a haven where you stock up on produce, essential oils, and other bulk items. Trust.

    When I imagine the lady or gentleman who dictates the prices of groceries at this SSI stop, I…read morepicture an evil genius in a dark and shadowed room cackling "THE POWER!". ... there are only a few spots to snag groceries on the island and mmmaaannn can you tell. If you're spending a few nights or over from the mainland - expect sticker shock to hit you like a freight train. And our American friends? Bring someone with you to speak soothingly while you shop... It's expensive. Ridiculously expensive. But beyond that, it's your pretty standard grocery store. The pros: 1. To balance the exorbitant grocery costs, they have some seriously stunning deals on produce. $1 for a quart of strawberries?! 0.98/lb for oranges?! Hot damn. The money you save will buy your $2.99 SINGLE AVOCADO. 2. They have really good, fresh baked gluten free bread. 3. They carry Krema Honeylicious. Bonus points every time. And goat's milk yogurt which can be tricky to track. 4. Everyone who works there is SUPER cheerful. Actually most people on SSI are super cheerful. Must be something in the air... It's one of two. So you're just going to have to deal with it. But hey, look at the positives and stuff your gullet with strawberries.
