Basso's No Frills

Alot of inventory crammed into a medium size space. Great variety but limited space. Shelves are usually stocked well. Staff are helpful and friendly. Quality of food good, sale items are what you can expect for a discounted rate,

I really have mixed feelings about any grocery store I go to. No frills may not look as pretty as other stores, but it has its strong points. The berries and certain fruits here ALWAYS exceed my expectations. The No Name brand I feel has taken a hit in terms of quality and cost but there are certain other things like the Farm fresh Milk they carry, which other stores do not have.

I've been in a few times for tomatoes and never bought any because they were wrinkled and moldy...on some. Today I was in and bought a milk carton marked 50% off and they charged me full price. Not as good store as it used to be.

I live in Hamilton ON. I came home to Walpole for a visit. I was here to pick up a few items for dinner. I am new to the store, so I had asked an employee for the isle numbers for the items needed, he was great with assisting me. Thank you for your kindness young man.

Clean store staff are polite and always helpful. Ample parking and a little of everything you could possibly need

I used to go to Walmart for most things, but lately they've gotten very bad about not placing enough people at the checkout, and it takes ages to get out, even when using the self checkout. I've never had to wait long to be cashed out at Nofrills, and it has always had everything I was looking for, so I'll be coming herd more often.

Great selection and better prices then walmart for most items.

This store has an amazing atmosphere and is professionally managed by people who actually respect their employees and customers!

Good prices and staff can be helpful if you can find them.

In January of 2022 I went 100% Vegan/Plant Based. Personally, I follow recipes and have learned to cook every day but finding the "ingredients and even spices" have been a challenge. I am very proud to say I've started to see more and more "vegan/plant based" cooking and baking products at No Frills each time I go. yay. I'm not one for "fake cheese, fake burgers, fake yogurt" and I would really hate to see this eating dynamic become just another fast food chain and the food stating vegan but replacing it with chemicals and additives. Bread, if it has one thing I can't pronounce or at a glance it's a paragraph of ingredients, I won't buy it so I respect finding the bread I like in the freezer section and keeping it there and thaw out 1 or more slices as I need it. Most rules of thumb I come to follow, vegan/plant based eating is simple food. It's fresh foods and peanut butter is "just peanuts". Hommade hummas is awesome and easy and can be a meal in itself. Hummas is protein, fresh carrots, celery, cucumber, peppers, whatever fancied is a wonderful lunch, not just a snack. The only thing I am frustrated with is I am finding the cost to eat, even lentals and beans and the proteins needed, all stores are, once again, starting to take advatage of the supply in demand which should really bring costs down, not up. Cans were $0.80 January and forever actually and all of a sudden same are now over a $1.00. I have come to learn any "change" we do to try to eat healthier, food stores take advantage. $11.00 for a bag of raw cashews! Omgosh, I was blown away. Same bag half that elsewhere. Yes, most nuts are expensive but we don't need the huge quantities either. The "bulk" creation was awesome, and of course Covid changed this platform but instead of bagging, and creating more plastic waste why not create a bulk area far from flesh product, in the "fresh veggie area" with a person behind the counter to allow people to buy quantity needed. AND people bring their own containers mandatory or they come back. They won't forget a second time. The container gets weighed first. This is allowing bulk access without contamination and saves our plant even more by getting rid of plastic use. Yes, thank you No Frills for more and more vegan/plant based products for cooking but please every time I go cost is higher. Where to go next will be end result if can get same elsewhere for less. Just my thoughts. Thank God some stores are still respecting costs but for Walkaceburg to buy local, don't take advantage of us, please.
