The prices of some things are way too pricey but selection of diaya cheese is great as I've been struggling with dairy alternatives since I can't do soy

Brianna Titian

Most staff is friendly.

David O.

The workpace is a joke. Only two cashiers; and they're slow old ladies. Pathetic service. I don't like spending 15 mins in line.

Tyler Hou

I miss the QF that was there tbh buylow just doesn't feel homey if you known what I mean

Krystle Middle

Expensive and limited choices

Tamare White-Wolf

It’s small n folks working there are great, but the prices where definitely much higher than I expected, n much higher than other stores. I won’t be back.

Midnight Outlaws

Camden is the only reason I continue to shop here, excellent customer service and fast / polite. Also when the tills back up he always swoops in and clears the line in minutes. Speaking of tills.. Why have 6 tills? Why. Everytime I go here, there's a line to the bakery and 2 people on till. The supervisor on lottery goes on and on and asks personal questions and stalls the line every single time I'm there, how she's a supervisor I have no idea.

Lou

Not bad

Kyle Mulligan

The name of the store and the 'No Frills' aesthetics would give you the impression that this is a cheaper grocery store, however, it's quite the contrary. If you're doing small purchases and it's conveniently close then shop here, however, for any big purchases go shopping at the north end of town.

Shelly Larochelle

Friendly staff and they deliver grocereys on their personal time .

Matthew Boudot

Great staff, pricing and quality food!

Andreas Lerch

Wasn’t impressed at the store overall. It felt a bit dingy and old. An upgrade is well needed.

John Tait

A tonne of items that I buy on a regular basis that were on sale. First time shopping here; I'll be back

Great

Steve Zarkovic

Their prices seem a bit high on most items and I’m not a huge fan of their deli. I just go to the “Country Grocer” a couple kilometres away. I

robert kirk

Frank Thomas

A decent grocery store-no frills, good sale prices.

Nikky Alyward

Worst experience I've ever had there! I got my grocerys and asked if I could have refill on my soda stream canister. The cashier said " of course". She took it and I I finished paying. Another cashier came and took the canister, after a few moments I asked where I go to pick up my canister. The first cashier said, "uhm it's gone, we don't do refills here only returns." She lied to me, she told me there's nothing she could do for me, and now I'm out a canister!! She was also incredibly rude the entire transaction. What a joke.

R Lowery

Like the selection is okay. But it's so weirdly expensive. Like $7 for a TINY bag of cereal expensive. Their house branded stuff is slightly cheaper but not by a lot. Honestly I only come here when I'm too lazy to go to Walmart.

Vernon Hills

Good inventory, good prices, but it is the staff who are awesome ????

Jason Rossiter

Very affordable, and great selections, the meats are sometimes not up to par

Maurice Burdock

Not quite what it could be. Very good service especially the meat department.

Tim Mcgrath

As usual, our shopping was great. New York Strip Loins on the BBQ for dinner!

cordon ceasar

Overpaid

francis thomas

awsome prices n deals--

Brandon Gair

Friendly staff, good selection, clean. Meat department has a wide selection for the grill master of the house. Not super busy, so in-and-out shopping is quick. Nothing negative to say really.

alex mah

Great to still have a supermarket at this location. Also great to see former students being hired.

Saint Saint

Rude female cashier's in bad moods that shuv your food and don't handle it with care. Not exactly a first choice when there are other places are always professional .

Tina Elluk

Great place for groceries

Thomas Nesbitt

It's got lots of good fresh produce and meat products

Jenna Smith

The staff are usually friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety of plant based alternatives, perhaps the best selection in the southend of Nanaimo. However, the prices are high and produce is subpar at best.

Denny Steele

Great public relations with staff. Am amazed at the cleanliness of store. Keep up the great work! Believe me, I'll be BACK!!!!

L Nel

medium to high priced goods. nice people have most things without being too big

Clint Menard

Multiple visits for flyer items and not once have a one of said items actually been in stock and or tagged at the advertised prices. There are plenty of ethical and better priced to screw around with them. Thanks but no thanks!!!

jim bo

Good selection, and specials.

jenn mason

The store manager, Kent was so helpful and friendly. Nice to have such great customer service!

Lorelei Walters

Great prices and variety of brand names. Wide aisles with easy access. I luv the bakery. The produce section could use a little sprucing up. Otherwise all in all a wonderful store.

Couldn't find a good steak but settled on ribs. Store is clean and friendly staff. Meat department could use some better cuts.

Dare Pater

Everything was easy to find. Friendly staff

richard milne

The freshness of their meat is beyond disgusting.. I took a picture to email to the owner. I was shopping and when I saw that this meat product had been repackaged with just a new date, I dropped my stuff right where I was and walked out.. Im not going to shop there anymore.

S Perry

Poor selection and service. Good place to grab a baguette or french loaf.

Hammond H

Great full service grocery store.

Cita Morgan

I have been in this store a couple times. I have noticed one cashier who seems to take forever to ring people through, especially when it's busy, even if the customer doesn't have a large order. I have also had an encounter with a staff member there. I don't know his name, but he had a hi-vis vest and glasses on. I saw him in the parking lot collecting carts, and while doing so, he was drinking straight out of what looked like a bottle of alcohol. Kind of not great for business if you ask me. I won't be back.

Ron Stabler

Staff are very helpful, thankyou.

Mark

It's an ok grocery store. Although it's called buy low most food is still very expensive and specials don't really help very much.

Tom Lozza

Not impressed. More expensive than country grocer and QF. Meat dept was half empty and produce dept was pricey and vacant. Took my grocery list to the competitor. Not buy low at all.

June Hoffman

Went there for fresh fruits and vegetables they're great at providing these. Also found everything else. Store is clean and easy to shop in.

eliane fraser

great price

Tattersail Diamond

Buy Low Foods is wonderful. The butcher dept. is fantastic. Much of the meat is prepared in house. The quality and variety is excellent. The butchers clearly take pride in their work. The bakery is also fantastic. When I toast the bakery bread at home, my place smells amazing. The cash staff is mostly excellent (there are some who are indifferent or irritated by your existence). The store is always clean and floor staff helpful. Drove past two competitors to shop here.

P Zhang

Very spacious, opens till late,

Gabby Foglietta

Expensive compared to similar sized grocery stores. Quality of goods seems poor. Purchased a jar of tomato sauce which appeared to be sealed and when opened was moldy inside.

Lily Gyorfi

I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for Camden, He seems to have a way to catch you with a hello on your way in. He is the first to jump on till when the line starts to form. He is quick at scanning and getting you through the till without making you feel rushed. He is truly an amazing asset to the team! so beyond impressed with the friendly and caring staff!! friendly security guard and just overall stand up team!

Ken. Martinson

A smaller footprint for a grocery store. A good selection of basic items.

Ron Grychuk

To expensive and poor product choices.
