| - I figured it was time for an update. I'm still a fan of this place for the following reasons:
1. Selection - a huge range of produce from all over the world - not to mention our often overlooked but much loved Ontario grown products. Currently have seasonal foods like persimmons, chestnuts, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries (okay, maybe not so seasonal).
2. Price - it's hard to beat any of their pricing - I can still find organic berries here (mid November) for the same price OR LESS (!) than in most grocery stores.
You really do get your money's worth. Today I came home with some great organic sweet potatoes, asparagus, a bag of fancy mandarin oranges (with the leaves), a big bunch o'bananas, a bunch of tulips, green beans, a bag of avocados ($2.50 a bag - RUN!) and some cool looking (grey) mushrooms - it came to just over $20.
I've gotten over my resentment of their hours as it's still a great place to shop. It's still cash only but they now have two cash registers, so lines move faster (I just go when there aren't any). Continuing to keep scurvy at bay... : 0 )
