Late night store run for some munchies to go with our dvd movie. I'm so glad there are a number of Metro's that are open 24/7. This one is in the Kennedy Commons shopping plaza and is HUGE, organized and clean! Lots of choices for late night snackin.
Passed by the bakery and noticed they had enormous bagels the size of my hand. They had 2 large rolling racks full of discounted bakery items but nothing that I was in the mood for. Took a peek at their refrigerated meat section and noticed some packages marked 40% off (good deal if you're gonna cook it right away). I'm gonna pass, definitely NOT cooking at this time of night (11 pm). Wow! The chip aisle is a snack lover's dream, lots and lots of healthy and unhealthy options, name brands and generic. The bulk snack and candy bins were in the same aisle. Picked up some roasted, salted macadamia nuts for $4.07/100 gms. Took a look around and saw their floral department, it's one of the biggest I've seen in a grocery store.
Went to check out and had two choices either self check out (there were 4 stations open) or be lazy and line up at the one and only cash register that was open. Even though the self check out was faster I chose to stand in the regular check out line. Walkin out noticed they sectioned off part of the parking lot for plants and gardening items, will be back to check this out.
They may be more expensive than No Frills but when you want name brands or a lot of variety AND it's late at night or very early in the morning this is the store for you. Keep your eyes peeled and make sure to pick up their store flyer because you can still find good deals here.
