We stopped in here while on vacation. We walked into the store and noticed right away how nice it was. There were so many great points: cleanliness, beautiful produce, lots of selection, fantastic staff, and great service. We also bought a steak... a $40 steak! We've never spent that much on a steak from a grocery store (or anywhere else) . Because it was such a beautiful cut, there was no waste. We got 4 generous portions out of it. I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks I've ever had! You can be sure that whenever we are visiting the Island, this Thrifty store will be on our list! Great job guys!

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.

This Thrifty Grocery store was a wonderful experience for me. The aisles were clean, clutter-free, easy to find what I was looking for, and the gluten-free items I needed were here! Plus, the cashier was a delightful lady. I had never been to a Thrifty, but I found it similar to a small sized Wegman's (Maryland).

The ladies that work the self checkout are my heroes. They are extremely friendly and love to chit chat if they see you regularly. Haven't really spoken to many of the gentlemen that work there, but the young man with glasses that often works a checkout or the self checkout is also very friendly but not as chatty.

Best soup and sandwich combination in the area. Comox has a great soup place but Thriftys has a great chili and their coconut thai soup is unbelievable
