The Canadian Superstore seems to be a knock-off from your Walmart Superstore, except that the products offered don't come close to the offerings of Walmart. This store group items together, projecting savings by purchasing more of the same product. The issue is what advantages are there to buying 10 toothpaste now? I did see some savings with Mars products compared to Walmart. Savings was about 1 dollar today.

I was once accused of being an undercover cop here (I'm not) by a strange customer who made a big scene and demanded to see the manager. He was irate and left before mall security arrived. Anyways... the prices are generally very competitive here. Quality is hit and miss. Their "blue menu" items are actually quite good. Fruits and vegetables seem physically bigger but less flavourful than other places. The prices are lower per pound but you end up with a sweet potato that's the size of a football. Customers regularly eat from the bulk foods section, even though there are signs saying "no samples". Lines and crowds can be ridiculous at this location. During holiday times they put up signs for "all checkout lanes open, all day"... and they are... and it's still busy. I'm not a fan of their price labelling. Often you see a price highlighted, but underneath it says "when you buy groups of 2, otherwise $5" for example. Just make sure to read it closely. You can also find the price per 100 grams on many items price tags - this is super useful in comparing different sized items, or the PC brand to another name brand. They started doing free food sample tables, like Costco, but not as many or as often. They also started having predatory credit card salespeople wander the store, trying to get you to sign up for a PC points credit card. Go away, I'm shopping.

What to do on an afternoon while in Vancouver? Go shopping, of course! My buddy and I came to this store after going to a massage parlour, and we were looking to buy stuff to take back to LA. I just bought some miscellaneous toiletry items that I needed (shaving supplies), and my buddy bought some items not for sale in the US. This huge store is located within the largest mall in British Columbia. I forget the name of the actual mall, but any taxi driver will be able to take you here. It is quite a drive from the downtown area, headed westward. The area is not bad at all, and I didn't really see any sketchy people here. If huge crowds aren't your thing, you may want to opt for another location. If you're like me and wanting to explore all aspects of life in Vancouver, come shop here.

That aisle, I think keeps going.

Anyone who plans to go to the Metrotown Superstore, be prepared for all out war. A combination of the busiest mall in the GVR, and also the busiest supermarket is going to bring one thing = crowds. If you are one who hates crowds and craziness, be warned, dodge this place like the plague. If you are the above, you probably will not come to Metrotown anyways. If you have been to any of the Real Canadian Superstore's, you know they practically try to cover everything from food, prescription drugs, clothes, electronics, etc., there is just too many categories to name. By knowing this, also know in price they are very competitive. When they first opened, these stores looked great inside, the product was setup nicely, there was an abundance of selection, then it was just overrun with people, and things started getting messy. Well, seems like Loblaws (parent company) is taking notice, as coming in here after so long, it is looking more orderly and better. Still not as good as their other stores, but they do not have to deal with the same amount of traffic that this places goes through in a day.

Weekend is crazy busy but I always find something interesting…read more I loved the hot food section. I tried fresh made sticky rice roll with BBQ pork. You choose rice first: white or purple. I chose the mix one. It's nice to see how they made over the counter. The counter lady is super friendly.

i love t&t, and the metrotown location is one of those places where every visit feels a little bit…read morelike exploring. i can walk in looking for one or two things and somehow end up discovering something completely new. there's always another snack, drink, ingredient, dessert, or seasonal item that catches my eye. t&t is so much more than a grocery store. the selection covers just about everything from fresh produce, breads and pastries to sauces, noodles, frozen foods, prepared meals, seafood, meat, beauty products, and all those random little things you didn't know you needed until you saw them. the chain carries more than 10,000 items across its stores and online, which goes a long way toward explaining why there's always something new to discover. stepping into t&t, it's easy to feel like you've been instantly transported somewhere else. i especially love visiting around chinese new year, when the stores are decked out in festive decorations and i can stock up on hello kitty red envelopes. then comes mid autumn festival, when the mooncake selection becomes completely mind boggling, from traditional flavours to frozen versions and mochi mooncakes. this visit had a definite mid autumn feel too, with festive decorations throughout the store. fans, orchids, flowers, red accents and other seasonal touches made the shopping experience feel more festive than your average grocery run. and then there are the discoveries. this time, i spotted a pack of four durian daifuku. they were pale yellow, perfectly round and smooth, and looked almost too pretty to eat. inside was a combination of cream and durian, wrapped in soft, chewy mochi. the texture was ridiculously soft, and the rich durian flavour came through beautifully. definitely one of those "well, i wasn't planning to buy this, but here we are" t&t moments. i also spotted a clear bag of pastel coloured flavoured prawn crackers that looked exactly like the ones you get at a restaurant. the ones we all grab when the plate of chicken is served. the kind of thing that immediately makes you stop and think, "ohhh, i need to try those." that's the danger of shopping here. the fresh produce section is another reason i keep coming back. there's always something interesting to investigate, whether it's familiar favourites or fruit i haven't tried before. on this trip, there were non fuzzy, yellow kiwis from new zealand, which went straight into the basket. the seafood section is another destination in itself, with live seafood including crab, lobster, fish and shellfish, depending on availability. t&t's seafood selection includes live dungeness crab, lobster, clams and other seafood, while seasonal offerings like spot prawns are always something i look forward to. then there's the bakery, deli, butcher and prepared food sections. the bakery alone is worth wandering through, with everything from milk bread and bolo buns to egg tarts, pastries and other asian favourites. the prepared food section is equally tempting, with things like peking duck, deep fried crispy whole chicken, bbq pork, sushi trays, dumplings and other ready to eat options. and don't skip the snack aisle. seriously. this is where a quick grocery trip can go completely off the rails. spicy peanuts, chips, crackers, cookies, instant noodles, candy, drinks and all kinds of asian snacks fill the shelves, with plenty of korean, japanese, chinese and other east asian favourites mixed in. there's even a kbeauty section, because apparently t&t decided groceries, snacks, bakery, seafood and skincare all belong under one roof. honestly, i'm not complaining. i also appreciate the little things that show the staff are paying attention. during this visit, an employee noticed there was liquid on the floor and immediately called out to a janitor to have it cleaned up. it was a small moment, but exactly the kind of thing i notice in a busy grocery store. spills happen; responding quickly is what matters. the metrotown location is clean, bright and neatly displayed, and there's enough variety that i can easily spend far longer here than i originally intended. that's really the fun of t&t for me. it's not just "i need groceries, let's go to the supermarket." it's more like, "let's see what they have today." one visit might mean yellow kiwis from new zealand. another might be seasonal mooncakes, a new snack, live seafood, a bakery find, a mystery drink, or four durian daifuku that somehow end up coming home with me. every visit feels a little like an edible treasure hunt. and that's exactly why i love t&t.

They have interesting drinks and I often find fresh foods for lower than I might find them in a big box chain stores. They sell Blackball dessert drinks here but they've gone up slightly in price from what they used to be, so I decided to just grab a bottled drink that was on sale. I picked up something called Coconut Shake. Also came home with a lemon for 79 cents. Places like Superstore may have larger selection but their prices can be ridiculously high. I like these smaller markets that carry fresh foods for signficantly less than big box retailers. Service was good too. I accidentally left my keychain (with keys attached) at the cashier register. I was so happy and relieved when the lady from the cash register ran out and told me that I'd left my keys. So glad that my keys were noticed very quickly and that the lady was able to catch me before I ended up straying too far.

The inside is definitely bare bones and on the smaller side. However, it was full of customers. They're doing something right. They have Korean snacks and produce. Special mention to their dedicated kimchi and ready to eat food section, which have items like tteokbokki (starch roles in sauce) and kimbap. Oh so tasty. Another thing worth mentioning - they have sashimi grade fish, and as of the time of writing, it is much cheaper than T&T. My only real complaint is that the checkout area is set up rather poorly. I just saw a pile of people by the counters and assumed I was in the lineup. Turns out the lineup actually goes down the aisle that is closest to the wall. Pro tip. This place is definitely on my radar now. Will be back more often to empty my wallet. Recommended.

Was around the neighbourhood and my significant other needed some supplies, that to make some…read morehome-made broth for her pho. We already passed up a few other locations and I remembered this place, I haven't been here in years, so I didn't know what to expect. Most people who live in the Lower Mainland might not come to this place, as it literally is in the (as my friend use to say) "armpit" of Canada. From the amount of beggers, crack whores, drug dealers, drug takers, let's just say this is not the rainbow and unicorns neighbourhood of town. I found parking a block up, and once we exited the car, a person asked us if we had any change.... yes... this is a stones throw away from Hastings and Main! We entered, and the guy working here was unloading, and putting things away, as well as setting up the front display of food items, and my dear went off in her world to look for items. This place is spacious, no overloading of shelves, no narrow aisles, no short store, this place is pretty wide, and pretty long. We started on the left side, walking down their open refrigerated section, you see very clean, and packaged vegetables. Anything from Thai chili's, Thai basil, mini limes, coriander, green onions, bean sprouts, just to name a few, everything had their own packaging where you could see what your buying, and everything was, as I said, clean! Through the aisles we noticed stuff like shrimp paste, sections of Sriracha sauce, fish sauce, cane sugar, brown sugar, cans of bamboo, powdered soup broth for your favorite pho dishes, laksa sauces, a variety of different rice noodles, even labelled by the width of the noodle. This place is a specialty store, and one I wouldn't hesitate on sending anyone too, sure you have to actually get out of your car, or go down there with public transit, and open your eyes to a different part of society. Sometimes part of the journey of making your dish at home, is the journey less spoken, that of where the hell you got your ingredients. The words, "you can't believe where I went to get this stuff" may come out of your mouth the next time you actually decide to prepare a Thai, Viet, Cambodian, Malaysian, Indonesian, etc..., dish... but if your working through some cookbook that is telling you things you need for a particular dish that you have no clue where to get cause your normal supermarket wouldn't have a clue what it is.... you maybe surprised here by finding it. The one thing we were looking for.. which they didn't have was freshly package pho noodles..... as all of the noodles we saw were dry, can't win them all!

Being Thai- speaks for itself now. I should know where to shop right? Right?…read more This is the only bona fide place to get That ingredients if you want that authentic green curry with real Thai eggplant (so round and cute, definitely not long and skinny which will give you soggy eggplant) or the hard to find actual Kaffir limes (not just the leaves) for your tom yum soup. Pick up some "real" oyster sauce for your Pad Bai Graprow, and the grapow leaves too (Thai basil). There's so much more, from frozen desserts, great Jasmine rice, rice noodles, and on and on and on.. spices. BUT, caveat, its in a sketch neighbourhood on East Hastings, druggies, street merchants (which are not necessarily sketch), homeless folks (also not necessarily sketch). So you might feel a bit out of place if you plan on sliding up in your Range Rover or Mercedes. But that's just a feeling, nothing bad will happen. It's not the prettiest of places, it's a big warehouse kind of space, no cute labels and fun signs, just the facts and prices. Ladies who work there, super nice, super helpful. A lot of things are kept in the back so use your big girl voice and ask for things if you can't find it. Delivery day seems to be Friday, so the weekend is a good time to go in. Prices are so good, I don't know why anyone and I mean ANYONE would buy Thai ingredients in the Asian food aisle in the supermarket. Case and point, fish sauce should never, ever cost more than $2 for the largest size bottle. EVER. You're welcome. Happy Thai shopping, cooking and eating :)

Sometimes it can be slightly cheaper when on sale. I like the variety and quality of food here. It looks fresher. I like the selection of cheese and the ready to eat food. You can pick and choose from the display case by letting the staff know what you want. Or you can also get your own selection from the warmers. It goes by weight. There are also individual or family meals which are now standardized pricing. $15 for individual and $45 for family. 1 entree and 2 sides. The soup selection is pretty good too. Same for the pizza. I've not tried the sushi or sandwiches here. Then there is the bakery and dessert section. The tiramisu is amazing! Chocolate eruption if you love chocolate. I like the pies and the Bundt cakes too. There is also an Amazon locker here to pick up your parcel. It's near the dining area which is quite big compared to other grocery stores with space for eating your food. Cutlery and napkins are available. You can also redeem your parking here. 1 hour with min $20 purchase. Used to be with $10 purchase when the parking was $1/hour, now it's $2/hour. And I think you still get $0.10 back if you bring your own bag.

Plus I am usually pleased with the freshness of their foods. I also enjoy their lunch box with bbq pork and soy sauce chicken, tho it tends to be saltier in taste and needs to be paired with hot tea or a drink. Overall, it's quite tasty when purchased at the start of lunch hour as the chef brings out all the freshly prepared whole chickens and satisfying. Their bbq lunch boxes seem bigger in portion size and more economical ($14.98) than Neptune plus with the ample parking options, it makes for a much quicker grab and go lunch option. (IMO, Neptune is better for dim sum or dine-in meals.) I usually prefer coming to this store over t&t for Asian groceries such as seaweed snacks or condiments or dry noodles etc. Because I find this location much less crowded with faster lineups and feels more comfortable with its natural lighting and spacious layout. This store meets my overall expectations in cleanliness, convenient parking, and cashier efficiencies but some may opt to shop elsewhere to look for lower prices.
