It is a full service grocer with everything you'd expect, plus a deli and a fish monger. If you're hitting this region, this is your one stop shop.

I have been looking for a place in Barrie to have a quick meal. I am limited by some food issues,…read moreand sometimes time is at a premium. "Goodness Me" is a health food store with extras available, including fresh baked goods, and a service counter and salad bar. They provide several fresh dishes on a salad bar, and a counter where they have about 10-12 hot dishes that you can choose from. The food is fast, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The pricing is good. My experience has been that it is best to go earlier in the day when the food is fresh. Like any other buffet type "restaurant" the food tends to get pretty thick if it has been sitting around for a while. There are lots of good options for people looking for gluten free options, but the potential for cross contamination is there if you are very sensitive.l to gluten. They also had 3 fresh soups available and regularly have chilli. The pricing is much better to offerings such as Nature's emporium. I found the price to be at least 25% less. They also have a pretty hefty discount at the end of the day on food if you are so inclined. I did it once, the price was fantastic, but the butter fish was like glue. ;) Overall, a good place to have a healthy and quick easy bite.

After spending some time at Georgian Mall last Saturday, I needed to get some groceries. There are…read moremany grocery stores near this mall. I did a quick search on my map app and saw Zehrs. During this pandemic, one of many positives has been finding new grocery stores to frequent. I have enjoyed my experiences at a few Zehrs in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge area, but have never been to a Zehrs away from this trifecta. I decided to drive a bit further (a whopping three minutes more by car) to visit this store. This Zehrs is in North Barrie Crossing Shopping Centre (it's essentially a plaza with box stores). It reminded me of the shopping plaza in Ajax where you have to go up a bit of a hill to get to the stores. It's enjoyable on a clear day, but it could be problematic with freezing rain on the ground. There was plenty of parking. I got a prime spot steps away from the entrance. I walked in and was happy. The area with two different types of shopping carts greeted me. It looked so clean and organized. I got a smaller cart and wheeled it in. I liked the prepared food section. I couldn't help but to salivate over sausage rolls, empanadas, samosas, ... basically, this entire display case was taunting me to get everything baked and fried. I stuck with my gameplan and walked away from it. I do need to get some next time. I had a few items on my shopping list. They were all found walking the perimeter of this store. I found them rather quickly: - Ground beef - Ground veal - Broth (veggie and beef) I had a meatball soup recipe that I wanted to make it. Getting ground veal has been more of an effort to find, but I got lean ground veal easily from this store. The lean ground beef was right next to it. Nice! A few steps over were the no-name beef and veggie broth boxes. I can't remember going with this brand for broth. I typically get the reduced salt version, but I wanted to be a regular human being for a change and got them. This Zehrs is probably the smallest one that I've visited, but I like it. It has everything that I need and like, including an amazing frozen foods and dessert aisle. The Joe Fresh section is located next to the checkout area. It's deadly! You can literally grab a scarf and pay for it immediately. I like that there's a screen that visually and audibly lets you know the number of the next checkout counter that is available for you to head over to. I had a nice man helping me out with cashing my items out. I declined getting a plastic bag. I paid with my debit card and scanned my PC Optimum barcode from my phone. Done and done! I had a great experience shopping here. Barrie has three other Zehrs locations, which makes me happy. I'd return to this one when I'm in the area again. (406)

The deadline to redeem is February 20th, 2025, so I am making sure to shop regularly to earn those stamps. Only downside: not all cookware options are available at this location. But what really keeps me coming back to this place shopping experience. They have fresh produce, warm ready to go cooked meals, great ready made fruit and salad selections. And guess what?!....Charcuterie board with cheese, deli meats, nuts, crackers, et,..and if you want wine with it, they have a wine store within. What a great way to set yourself up for a lovely indoor relaxation after grocery shopping. And then when it comes to parking, the parking lot is always well-maintained (especially during snowy days) and it is spacious, making it easy to always find a spot. Also, I personally find the cashiers are consistently friendly and efficient, making checkout a breeze. Of course, let us not forget the prices! Yes, Loblaws/Zehrs can be pricey but I consistently find great value on the items I need, from fresh produce to household essentials. So it is worth it in my opinion. All in all, I am so happy with this Zehrs/Loblaws. The rewards program, convenient parking, friendly service, and good quality food and produce makes me want to go back.
