BEST CHAIN for NATURAL PRODUCTS.
For those of us not living downtown or on whyte, it can be quite a hassle to buy groceries for a conscientious and dietary restricted household; this Save On (lovingly called "Hippie Save On" by my family) delivers an EXCELLENT selection of all natural, vegan, organic, fair trade, ect.. goods, all with prices places like Planet Organic and (sorry) Blush Lane can't compete with. Don't get me wrong, I love supporting these adorable local groceries when I can, but I just love, love LOVE that a large chain grocery store has such an excellent selection of the exact same products/brands, be it food, cleaning supplies, or beauty products. Did I mention that throughout the isles they also have big green iron borders around all of the natural foods, to make it SUPER easy to find.
However, I must say if you're looking for a WIDE variety of fresh organic produce you really have to hit this location on the right day. They always stock a revolving assortment of interesting produce (tomatillos, purple potatoes, a bunch of root things I've had to google) but, sadly, not in their organic section. They also have a great assortment of unique/local preserves, cheeses and dips. Great for anyone planning a tapas/charcuterie plate for their next potluck.
Well done, Hippie Save On! read more
