| - Nicholson's No Frills is on the ugly end of No Frills stores, and that's saying something.
Combined with another shop like Sobey's, one can make due with shopping here strictly for deals on canned goods. I wouldn't recommend coming here specifically to buy meat, or produce. Veggies are often rotting on the shelf, while meats have an odd colouring to them days before their expiry many times. I once bought bread at this location and as soon as arrived opening, uncovering the bread, I noticed it was covered in mold. Once in a while something good will pop up, but tread carefully.
Prices (not specific to this No Frills) from No Frills are not as competitive as they once were against the higher end chains. In some cases, meat is cheaper to buy from Sobey's, or Metro than it is from No Frills now, and the quality is better.
The good qualities of this store are the location, which is right by the subway, and the staff which are generally friendly. Boxes near the front are nearly always plentiful, and there is plenty of parking on the street, or in the lot next door (don't forget validation).
There are many options up and down the street in terms of meats, bread, and produce. Stick to No Frills for generic canned goods without a huge markup, and buy anything perishable some place else.
