Save-On-Foods

Stopped here for a few last-minute items and am sometimes pleasantly surprised. It’s a bit pricier than some other markets, but they had Häagen-Dazs on sale—$4.99 with my More Rewards card—so I stocked up! Convenient location, always clean and deals are there if you keep an eye out.

Rotten Produce, Moldy berries, and Staff That Don’t CarennSo I’ve learned that Save-On-Foods on 109th Street and jasper genuinely doesn’t care if they sell you rotten food. Like could care less that you’re hard earned money is spent on something that could make you sicknnWalking through their produce section, it’s pretty common to find rotting onions, produce that’s rock hard and unripe, or over ripe and mushy….or stuff that’s literally already starting to mold. But today pushed it over the edge.nnI checked the raspberry section and multiple packages had visible blue fuzzy mold. I figured maybe it was just a bad shipment — so I pulled all of them and stacked them aside. I told the produce staff that they were moldy and expected they’d handle it properly.nnNope. I circled back 10 minutes later and saw her PUTTING MOLDY BERRIES BACK on the floor?? You can see the mold and I told her about the mold and she still put them out for people to buy!nnGood luck complaining to a manager — I have tried. He just shrugged and would say “yeah that’s fine, we’ll take it off the floor,” and then the exact same thing happens again the next week. No apology, no ownership, no interest in fixing it. They just want you menu and sell you literal trash to get it.nnThis isn’t a one-off. I’ve personally found rotten food here as far back as 2023, and it’s now 2025. So this is just how this store runs. Save your money and go 2 blocks to Safeway or loblaws if you need perishable food.nnI won’t be buying any fresh produce from this location ever ever ever again. And after seeing how casually they handle visible mold, I wouldn’t trust any department that has to check for perished items.. If you care about your health or your money, take your business somewhere that gives a damn. It’s so sad the lack of quality or care in a place that supplies food! You can make people sick!

One of the best grocery stores in the city with remarkable numbers of employees. Employees are very helpful and always kept busy themselves with down stocking. That’s how inventories are always full and almost all employees try to help customers whenever needed. Awesome shopping experience.

Save On Foods is nIt is also more expensive than Walmart and Superstore. The thing is, each department has their own display of deals and hidden gems, such as a large bulk foods section. Another positive isntheir shelves are stocked, and the store departments are clean.nMeat, Deli, and Bakery departments are busy and display fresh goods. Berries have a short shelf life, so they are usually found just inside the entrance for a quick grab. The chicken pot pies emit a delicious aroma!nDid you know there are HELPFUL staff ON the floor. GASP! Working humans available to stop and help, instead of endless walking to find two eyeballs. THIS IS GOLD! One rarely receives such great customer service! And, I have many years and training to know the difference Lastly, this store offers self checkouts AND more than two approachable cashiers!nI like this store.nThanks staff!nSign me the lady with the leaky plants!

Convenient central location. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve never had a problem with their produce. Good rotating sales. Small seating area just off the entry if you need to sit and have a snack before attempting to shop on an empty stomach. Starbucks inside the store.
