Sometimes the simplest grocery store can surprise you.
SuperValu is the Canadian equivalent of a Kroger store in the US. It is a great
one stop shopping location for anything from a mop to frozen scallops. Aisles are clearly laid out and it is
rare that you need help finding things, which is lucky since the store is
minimally staffed. SuperValu has a large number of surprising products. In the
summer they sell local fruit and vegetables in a special produce section. They
also have a good selection of frozen products including delicious seafood, a
large ice cream section, and frozen fruit.
Overall I definitely recommend visiting
the SuperValu for any general grocery shopping. The one surprising disappointment was a lack of artichokes, but upon inquiring, I was told that they had artichokes just last week, but have stopped ordering them because it is the end of the season. Despite the lack of a large
organic presence and the low staff numbers, it is easy to find almost anything
here. I was most impressed with the large spice collection that had not only
one brand of star anise, but also a second that was amazingly inexpensive.
