| - I am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, so I've made it a mid-year resolution of sorts to stop here once a week. I don't know that it's the best grocery store in Chinatown or anything, because I haven't come close to being in them all, but I do know that the selection is great and the prices are amazing. To give an example, today I bought two pounds of strawberries (from the US unfortunately), a pint of blueberries, 10 limes (10/$1), and a plum, for a grand total of $3.78. Seriously. How could you not be a fan?
I don't necessarily agree with the comments about the produce being on its last legs and needing to be used right away. While that is true for SOME of the fruit sometimes, it is not always the case. I've had some blackberries for 3 days now that are still fresh and I am sure they will be good for 3 more days at least.
They have a selection of hot foods and also a fish/meat section in the back, but I haven't explored enough to comment yet.
Also, the Lucky Moose is east of Spadina so if you are taking the subway (or coming from the other side of Yonge Street) and don't want to walk all the way in to Chinatown, it is very close to the university line.
