I've had a few bad experiences with Pusateri's over the years however the most recent one has solidified the fact that I likely won't every shop there again.
I purchased a loaf of Leah's Sour Cream Loaf which had a best before date of 5 days after the day of purchase. Got it home and tried to slice it and it fell apart, the topping stuck to the bottom of the cardboard loaf pan it was baked in and could not be scraped off and when we tasted it, we noticed it tasted really, really fishy. Into the garbage it went -- $9.99 down the drain. I sent an e-mail to Pusateri's immediately that night and 5 days later have not heard back. Their customer service is sorely lacking.
On the same day I bought the Sour Cream Loaf I also bought several other groceries. The snap peas, which had a best before date of a week out, were dried out and tasted really old. They too went in the garbage as they were not edible. I also purchased some pre-packaged organic lettuce which I noticed was all brown and shrivelled once the package was opened -- and it tasted bad.
While Pusateri's does have some lovely fruits and veggies, and prepared foods, this last experience will be my last visit there. Anyone wanting to do a bit of shopping at Bayview Village would be much better off going to Loblaws which is at the other end of the mall.
