Sobeys

This location is super convenient and you can quickly go in grab what you need and leave. I do however find the prices have gone up a lot since the change from sobeys to tgp and I much prefer Safeway now as my go to grocer. The staff is very friendly.

I almost hate to only give a 2 star review because usually the staff here are quite friendly and helpful, and there is never usually a long line. Nonetheless, this location continues to disappoint in terms of product selection.
Since this Sobeys is so close to home, this is my go-​to location for the quick pick ups, the random heat of the moment cravings, the last minute snack run, or the ever frustrating ‘damn, I forgot to get that at Safeway when I was there 30 seconds ago’ moments. Unfortunately, it is in these moments that this location often fails me. There seems to be a somewhat of a limited selection here, and it seems that the exact item I am looking for is one that they don’t carry at this location. SOOOOO frustrating!
With that all said, it is important to point out that the staff are super friendly, and the location is super convenient — more than enough reason to keep coming back for more!

Goldbar Sobeys used to be a place I’d go to pick up a few things, as it was much quicker to get in– get out than Safeway or the dreaded Superstore.
Not anymore.
Used to be that the produce was at least average quality, but not quite as nice as some other stores. The prices weren’t out of line in comparison to Safeway either.
Now? Anytime you go there specifically to pick an item on sale in the flyer, they either don’t have it, don’t have all the varieties, or in the case of recently when they had strawberries and raspberries on sale, it’s all rotting.
Speaking of rotting… good luck getting pretty much any produce that doesn’t already have one foot in the compost heap.
Want tomatoes? You better use them today or tomorrow at the latest.
Lettuce? Hope you like your salad a bit mushy and slimy.
And the potatoes have bigger eyes than Tweety Bird!
Time and time again we walk out without getting the produce we went for because of the low quality, and it hasn’t improved an ounce over the last year.
Therefor, we’ve given up on them. I mean seriously, the produce at Walmart is better.
