  • I didn't know how to rate this place really. I think if I could afford to live in the area and was earning millions, it might seem like a reasonable place to shop. I'm not sure I could stomach the prices even then though, having spent my life to this point living in the real world. I've been grumbling about the lack of Fage Greek yogurt here since I moved over 11 months ago. An ancient thread on Chowhound suggested that there might be some at Summerhill Market. I had time to kill so pottered along for a look around. I was delighted to see that they had it in various sizes, flavoured and plain, 0% fat and 2%. The unfortunate thing was that I absolutely couldn't bring myself to pay the outrageous price they were charging. A small pot at home cost €1. Here, it's $2.99. The large (500g) pot is priced at a whopping $8.99. Unless they've hidden the winning lotto max ticket in it to justify that price, it's daylight robbery. I suggest trying the President's Choice version for $3.99 which is the closest I've found to it in taste. Liberté and Oikos are fine if you prefer it tart. There is a nice meat section with some lovely looking cuts of steak/lamb etc. Yes, you would probably have to sell a kidney to buy one of theirs, but I'm sure it would taste good. There was a decent selection of cheese and some yummy looking but rather expensive cakes. They have a good selection of prepared meals. I hear their chicken pot pie is exceptionally tasty. My friend in work loves it-she just doesn't love the guilt that comes with having spent so much on something she could make herself. They had some randomly interesting things like the Clif bar "variations"-the Z bars for kids (which are smaller and handier) and a large selection of the Mojo and Builder bars. They also had a big selection of Think Thin bars too which are difficult to find elsewhere. I keep trying them thinking I'm going to like them and find one that doesn't taste of protein powder. Someday I'll succeed. Did a quick price check on cottage cheese to give myself some idea of their pricing. Nordica was $4.49. I think it's about $2.69 in No Frills at the moment. Longos have been hovering around $3.20-$3.49. "Good for you" banana bread was $7.99 vs $4.99 in Longos. That's some mark-up! I felt better about the Fage disappointment after I'd devoured their samples. The salty crackery thing and the pound cakey thing were delicious. They just about revived me after the shock of the prices....
