| - Got up bright and early to go to opening day to get my FREE $20 gift card cause #YOLO. Kidding it's because I don't start my new job for another few weeks and I needed a reason to get out of bed before 11am. I'm always on the quest for the perfect grocery store and this ticked all my boxes...although I still can't find a place that has chicken apple sausages outside of America but apparently Canadians haven't discovered those magical flavours yet. Since no one carries them, no demerit points...but if any of you grocery stores wanted to sell them and are reading this, I'd love you forever...or at least the next 50 years!!!
Back on topic. Farm Boy is bright, well stocked and nicely laid out (the swinging monkey is perhaps a bit tacky but I'm guessing some person high up insisted on it and you do you design guy). I liked the variety and prices too. Lots of chicken and turkey sausages...but just to confirm, no chicken apple sausages...yet. Good gluten free items as well. There is fresh, affordable produce (from near and far and organic and non).
I normally don't get pre-made food cause it's pricey but when you have a whole $20 to spend, why not. I got their stuffed mushrooms and hot damn they were good. 2 for $5 and stuffed with rice, sausage, cheese and potentially love. Threw them in the oven at home and they were delicious. I Highly recommend them.
There's also ready to eat food a la Whole Foods style. I think it's about $2.19/100 grams - not sure how that compares to whole lotta dollars foods but I'm assuming it's cheaper. Is anything more expensive than Whole Foods? Like aside from a Tesla? Farm Boy does breakfast and lunch at the pay by weight buffet/salad bar. Breakfast looked great with eggs, potatoes, sausages, bacon, wraps, beans etc. Then there are pizza, sushi and stir fry stations. You can have your cake (and well whatever you want) and eat it too...cause what else would you do with cake? Sayings...am I right?
They apparently have lots of cheese so if you are not a monster and like cheese - here's your place!
In conclusion I'm a fan. It's not the most convenient so hop in an uber or car pool and get on over! Be sure to ask them about chicken apple sausages - let's start the revolution people!!! These are the important issues of our time..jokes it's definitely all about gun control in America but I digress.
