| - Being close to my workplace, I love running in here from time to time for a fresh BBQ chicken or something else quick, hot, inexpensive and tasty from their deli counter. The chicken is an especial reason, as unlike most supermarket BBQ chickens, they use a better quality chicken that ends up to be quite moist through and through, something I can't say with most supermarket chickens.
The fruits and vegetables are impeccable, fresh and often from local farms from Alberta and BC. Other great products from local suppliers like Spalumbo sausages, Simple Simon Pies and the like can be found, not to mention items from the Hutterite colonies as well (turkey-sized chickens!!!). Aside from the farmers' markets (Kingsland and Calgary), I get the rest of the materials I need for my crazy recipes from here (or the Co-Op on Macleod) simply because I know the quality is good and whenever I do cook (a rare event), it's for a number of people.
My only complaint really would be that the price difference is up there with organic markets at times, but I can't really be too upset as I do recognize the difference in quality as well (which is why I do go to the farmers markets as well).
A nice added little bonus is that all of my purchases does go towards the end of year dividend based on purchases. Not bad at all for a $1 membership card.
