Clean, nice variety, no locks on bathrooms but I don't recommend if you have other options. Starbucks inside is slow but not quite interminable. Flowers are expensive here but selection is better than average for a grocery. Reasonable selection, quality and price for alternative health products. Could use more BC products when in season but Sieffert potatoes are good. Deli meats are soft and don't last well. Hot counter is very good. Fish market is very fresh and bettythan average but closes early. Has a dry aged cooler. Meats are well packaged and clean looking. Pharmacy is basic with injection spots available but closes early. All departments are well stocked. Not the best bang for your buck overall but good for a one-stop shop. The liquor store next door has improved their selection. You might be politeky asked for spare change in this neighborhood.

Fluid Bar and Grill. Not Thrifty foods. My GPS is not being accurate.
The Crab dip & belini were Fantastic!!! As well as the garlic prawns!
The Cod tacos were disappointing, the taste was very bland, & after peeling off the tempura because I wasn't tasting any fish, there was just over a tablespoon in each portion. Both salads were warm and had only a few pieces of lettuce that was actually crunchy. We have had disappointing salads there before but wanted to give it a 3rd chance, but sadly they were the same. The fries and dip were good, and I was informed the burger was okay. If we ever go back it will be for the Crab dip & belinis.

Solid grocery store. On the pricy side compared to other stores but the quality speaks for itself with the produce and meats etc.

I love how many different products they have here — especially the huge variety of vitamins! It’s super convenient to find everything you need in one place.
