| - No Frills is amazing for getting every day stuff that you will consume on a regular basis because they have big sales on different items. Paper towels, bathroom tissue, pop, spaghetti sauce... everything has it's time for sales.
Recently a couple weeks ago they had bacon on sale for 2.50 a pack for 375g. While the new smaller packs are a little deceiving, bacon for the 500g packs has been as high as 7 dollars recently. This was a steal so yes I bought a dozen which I will freeze. They also have specials on meat like ribs (both back and side), chicken breasts, ground beef etc.
When certain items go on sale it's smart if possible to stock up. Since this is a "President's choice" chain they will carry some of those products and you can use PC gift cards here as well.
The aisles are very tight and when the employees are restocking and it's a weekend it can be very trying to navigate through the aisles because the place can get pretty packed.
Another thing to remember is the carts now are no longer a quarter to unlock, they're a loonie so always keep one handy in the car.
The produce is ok, the meat is decent but they are missing many specialty items that you just won't find here and if you need them you'll probably have to go to Loblaws or Metro.
For canned, processed, frozen foods etc this place has them for less pretty much no matter what it is, even cheaper than Wal Mart.
The competitors for this place would be Food Basics and Price Chopper. This particular No Frills is quite small in comparison of say the one at Dixie Value Mall.
