Save On Foods

Everything is fine except for deli needs work with their attitude. Not good customer service

One star only because of the convenient location to where I work. That being said, I normally go there for lunch as they have a pretty big deli but the ‘ladies’ that work behind the counter are miserable. I’ve witnessed them being horribly rude to other customers and they have flat out ignored me (by turning their backs on me as soon as I walk up… I know you saw me!!!) on multiple occasions. The worst part of all is that they constantly shut down their Deli cash register around 5pm ALL OF THE TIME. When I’m working a later shift, that is when I get my break and I most certainly do NOT have time to be standing in a line up, 8 people deep, just to get a pre packaged sandwich!
Today will be the last time I ever shop there and I certainly won’t miss being ‘served’ by miserable people who don’t take their gloves off to ring cash through a cash register. Absolutely disgraceful.

It’s located on Kingsway and so many apartments/​hi-​rises around it.
It’s a clean and decent supermarket, they’re always busy. I like to shop at save on foods more than other supermarkets.
However, we needed to take the escalator up to the store and had to carry all the bags down to car.

Many places have self-​checkout nowadays. Maybe it’s because Save On Foods tends to have less busy-​ness and better staffing than Superstore at Metrotown, but I felt a welcome difference in the staff there. Patient and helpful in a way that doesn’t make you feel rushed. Very prompt in coming over when the system indicates that they need to verify a coupon.

Underground parkade is nice when it’s raining so if you buy lots you’ll stay dry when loading groceries in the car.
Had to take the escalator up to the store
and was greeted with a lot if sneers and funny looks by the regular lay about a hanging at the courtyard having their morning smoke.
The staff here seem to not enjoy their jobs what so ever as none of them smile or even say a «hi» or «hello» the self checkout makes for quick work if the line if there aren’t a lot of other people waiting to pay.
The bakery gets bonus points as they always have a good selection at 7 am for fresh made muffins and such.
The cheese buns are super salty from the bakery tho.

Have always loved this grocery chain for it’s reasonable prices and cleanliness. I will choose Save On Foods over Superstore any day to avoid the mess and crowd. Located in the Middlegate Shopping Centre, this is an area that’s shown continuous development. The service is friendly and you’ll be able to find your staples here but I still expect more selection for this size. Maybe with the closure of the Station Square location, this one will expand a bit more.

Nicer, relatively newer location than Metrotown, and like the parking better too. More convenient w/​the Shoppers here is a bonus. You can also enter in from the other side besides Kingsway, note the rush hour restrictions.
It’s also a tad smaller too but has everything one would need in terms of groceries.
When you walk in, I like how the bakery tempts you with their nice display of black forest cakes, fruit flans, donuts, etc. Even offers pre-​made sushi though there’s already one store around the corner haha.
Washrooms easy to use too ;)

Every time I find myself in this store I ask myself WHY?! Well, probably because I just came from the gym and it’s right there. The line ups are long and service slow. It’s not cheap, let me tell you. Don’t let the name fool you, ‘Save-​on’! nothing. Some of their ‘bulk’ food items are mis-​labelled and on a few occasions, the bulk foods cost more than the packaged. Grocery stores like this urk me, I guess that’s why I’m a fan of local markets and whole organic foods and «Whole Foods Markets».

Save On Foods has… well, food. =P
I don’t usually shop here for toiletries or household products since they are slightly higher priced than other grocery stores, but they have a great deli and meat section.
They have one of the best rotiserrie chicken and a section of pre-​made foods. It ranges from salads, to pastas and sandwiches. The area in the back has a lot of pre-​marinated fish that I like to grab and bake. Sometimes after work, you just don’t feel like cooking in your kitchen for 45 minutes. Save On Foods is my savior once a week. They are also open until midnight so I can make my 9PM chocolate craving runs!

A-​OK for everything from soup to nuts.. .
Only three stars, because for me to give four or above the place really has to rock my socks off. So far, I’ve always left this Save On with my socks firmly intact.
Good selection. Good service. Good prices. And open late night. That’s A-​OK in my books.

Customer service counter at this store has excellent service. Everytime I deal with people at the counter, they always get it right for me and I’m always satisfied with the end result. I like their customers come first attitude. It’s rare these days for supermarket stores. I almost feel like I’m at MEC because their customer service is excellent too. This Save-​On-​Foods store is much superior than the Station Square –Metrotown location, even though it’s smaller. I can always buy what I want at this Highgate location without the hassle of going to a mega supermarket store. There are always weekly sales on items, but most stuff sold are decently priced. Last month, I bought Smarties ice-​cream for 1 dollar a bucket. How awesome is that?

Save-​on is my go-​to grocery store. They have most everything I need for everyday cooking and eating. The ethnic and specialty ingredient selection is decent, and I’m especially big on the bulk section (some people might say Buffet section) for candies, nuts, and baking ingredients. The produce is good; although I might wish for more local product, they do seem to carry more of than their competitors, and at better prices.
And be still my eco-​heart, Save-​on carries eco-​friendly cleaning products from Seventh Generation and Nature Clean as well as health foods likes Nature’s Path cereal.
My only complaint is that this particular store is a bit squishy, making one wish there was a legal loophole for clotheslining kids on those rollerskating shoes. Oops, am I in your way, Junior? Luckily, there’s a li
