Reviews of Thrifty Foods (Fruit Store)

Vaughn Smith

Nice bonus airmiles

Mgailgossen@gmail.com Gossen

Friendly helpful staff. Great selections.

Kili Akua

More often than not, the fish counter has no one behind it or a long wait before someone can be available to help out. Really frustrating. I like fish.

Ron

The staff should smile more to make customers feel welcome. They all look dead.

Cory Mo

A very standard franchise location.

James Snow

I like the variety of products in the natural health section. The bakery is good. This grocery store can be a bit pricey. Good place for prepared single serve meals. Accepts Air Miles and has online ordering with grocery delivery service. Pharmacy is expansive and accepts most direct bill extended health insurance plans. Great organic foods section.

Beate Askerlund

Love the cool veggie drinks fresh ???? made

Linda Marinus

Everything you could imagine in one place and beautifully displayed

Erin Robertson

Well stocked & eye pleasing displays

Jen Hall

Great selection of items. Easy to get in and out quickly. Quality produce. Amazing stuffed chicken breast!

Marilyn Crosbie

Everything sold here is of good quality and if you are not happy with a product, in my experience, they will refund or replace that item as long as you have your receipt. This is a modern store. Starbucks is inside and you can also buy store brand sandwiches, smoothies and sit and eat in the store.

Camille Soper

Even as packed as it was, always a pleasant experience at this Thrifty's location. Employees are always helpful and friendly. It's my go to store, especially when they have good sales. Also, I think their meat is the best of all the grocery stores in town.

Ryan William

Exallant service and you dont have to wate long in lineups,always a quick in and out if your in a hurry.O and there pies are the best in town.

Cherilyne Olson

Thrifty's on Cliffe is my grocery store of choice, in spite of there being three other major grocers between us. Clean and bright with some of the very best customer service staff I have ever come across. Friendly and welcoming, the staff are always polite, helpful and understanding should you have a question or a problem. Great selection and fantastic staff are why I bypass the closer shops.

Katheranne (Katheranne)

Large. Clean. Marvelous produce and meat. Starbucks, pizza and soup. I could happily live in the store!

Doug Filteau

Very capable and courteous staff. Best on the island. Brooklyn was very engaging and efficient . Top marks - I’d give it 5 stars if there were better attempts at providing and/or labeling sanitized shopping carts.

I like that I can quickly stop in and grab groceries rarely a line up . If you shop the flyers prices are good, if not they can be a bit high but meat and produce are great quality. Island Farms is the best for dairy by far !

SomebodyNormal

I great grocery store, clean and affordable

Delicious and fresh food

Seems like it is full of good things.

A Pleunac

I love this store. Always friendly, especially the cashiers and seafood department. Best seafood department at any grocery store from here to Nanaimo, perhaps beyond. Only place to get many gourmet or specialty items. Amazing deli. I also love their fresh salad bar area where you can make your own gourmet to-go salad sold by weight—incredible selection including all the basics and bonus items like shrimp, arugula, feta, chickpeas, blue cheese, kalamata olives, nuts and seeds and lots of fruit. Would give this location a 5 but I do find its also the most expensive grocery store from here to Nanaimo too, so I shop here for some items and go to Superstore for the bulk of my shopping to save money.

Travesty Bertrand

Very helpful and even recieved a Free Box of Candy canes!!!

Marina

Really good produce

Ian Buck

Good specials. Fresh produce.

polly sveinbjornson

I love the feel of the cliffe ave Thriftys. It is easy to find exactly what I need and the staff is quite friendly and personable. We recently switched all our prescriptions to the pharmacy, we love it there! They are more accessible and helpful than other pharmacies we have used. To top it off, their COVID policies help make it feel a lot safer there as well!

Corey Hobbis

love the staff

Samantha Baldry-White

Best organic produce aside from Healthyway. Over all this grocery store has the highest quality groceries.

Cameron Hoogland

great produce, love the staff

Garry Griffin

Nicely set up store. Not the most convenient location

Paul Enns

If you are looking for quality selection in a reasonable sized store this is the place to shop. They have very experienced staff members, and they show it by being kind and helpful. I prefer to shop here more than other local stores. Once you know the store layout you are in and out in a flash. That's how shopping should be.

Stan Z

Picked up a Baguette that should have been tossed the day before. No best before on it. Must be a new Sobey's thing to save waste.

Ryan J.

Best pepperoni sticks!

Gordon Allison

Covid friendly

Rory Drysdale

Good selection

Sarah S

Great service always. I appreciate always being able to get a ripe avocado!

Laury Haines

Love the produce freshness and store atmosphere

Trevor Howell

This review is about the pizza, or so called pizza. One of the worse ever. Tried just a few bites and will be throwing the rest away from a "Half Of A Full" size. This is a surprise since the Port Moody Thrifty's pizza is good, a lot of customers order take out from that one, but this is not even close to the same recipe. As for the rest of the store, it gets a solid "A", so far.

Henry Junnola

Super nice store

Josh Fry

Great bakery. High prices that are worth it for non essential items.

By far one of my favorite major grocery stores to shop at on the island. Staff are friendly and super helpful. Also this location has a wide variety of ethnicity for different food or cooking options. Also in house Starbucks if you are craving a coffee. The sushi is pretty decent.

Shelley Kurvers

Best choices for meat. And produce.

Steve Brien

Pricey Foods would be a better name.

Fresh and good quality of food!! They have good meat, sea food, and ready to eat food, such as sushi, California roll, and sandwiches. Love the place!

Susan M

Nicest grocery store in my neighbourhood. Wonderful staff.

Russell van der Vliet (BrotherGrimm)

Spread out in different parts of the store from produce, to organic! They have a bakery to a butcher, from seafood to kabobs! The only thing I didn't see was a sanitizer station! They even have a pharmacy in store! Plus you can bring your bottle recyclables in store! They carry ice to even something for the home gardener! Noticed the person who was picking up the buggies, sanitizing with the same cloth, that wouldn't help much! You're passing the germs from one cart to the next!

monika penner

Great service, produce, a nice variety of foods

Brieee

Great variety, a bit of everything. You can find brands and items that are not common in other grocery stores. Deli and salad bar are great. Decent sushi-to-go as well. Huge vitamin and supplement selection and health food. Nice variety of natural beauty/bath and personal care products. My only gripe is the prices, Thriftys isn't thrifty. Most food items seem overpriced for what they are.

Melissa Waldbauer

I like their produce and meat department and the jumbo eggs.

Conor MacLoclen

This location is huge. As they have taken over what once was Safeway, they have used the place effectively. Notably, a very large produce section, a bulk section with incredible options such as bulk olive oils, maple syrup, honey and grind your own peanut butter and a well-to-do meat and fish section. They also have a juice bar, a take-out food section and a Starbucks with a sit down area. Clean, bright and modern.

Bruce Lindquist

Purchased two nice fresh pink salmon ,they were in very nice fresh condition.

Phreddieboy

I really like this grocery store. Much nicer feel, prepared foods and quality produce, meats and seafood, than their mothership, Sobey's

Produce is fresh and the meats are good quality for a reasonable price. Thrifty's carries items that some of the other stores do not. Their bakery items are quite good.

B. Olyn Price

Very large selection, well lit, helpful staff. the inside of the store was colder than the outside.

Shelby Smith

Buy the macarons from the bakery ????mmm

Cvgjj

Find them expensive but a great store..

Callie Moore

There's just something about this location. I find the produce to be consistently excellent, plenty of parking, ready-made items (sandwiches, sushi) are always good! All of the flowers I've purchased there have been beautiful. Amazing service, this grocery store is really a lovely experience every time!

valerie marchand

Love shopping here. Best produce of all grocery stores

Dave Brimacombe

I don't normally use curbside pickup for groceries but my brother booked it and I offered to pick it up for him. Would not recommended. Big delays, no one answered the phone. But, when the curbside guy came out (eventually) he was really nice. So 2 stars

Ken Seabloom

Found products I was looking for on sale In most cases.

steve fisher

Pretty nice place to shop

Erin Douglas

Thrifty Foods Cliffe Ave Courtenay provided the flowers for our January wedding this year. They worked well from our sample idea pictures, and even worked nicely with pine cones we brought in from home. Their prices were on point, and the flowers were gorgeous. The boutonnieres and corsages had lovely magnets that worked perfectly, so no dresses or suits were harmed.

Kathleen Mitchell

Very clean store!!!

Syghe of Relief

I love this store! The deli is great and everything is so yummy! Great customer service. Excellent sales. Clean store.

Clean well stocked

Susan South

Great place to shop for groceries. This branch tries to provide local produce at affordable prices. I try to shop local as much as possible.

OneSpeed

Great value super market.

Jennifer Cappiello

They do have a little more vegan options. That's the only reason why I went in here. But the self serve cash out is a joke. Save yourself time and go to a clerk. The self serve takes longer. Once you put something in a bag it doesnt let you scan anything else unless the self serve lady lets you. She is on her own little computer next to all of them. If you just want to get out of there fast dont go through there.

Deb Julian

Don't know why it's called "Thrifty's". Other than some sale items, it's relatively expensive to shop there.

MoMo

Not too big. Very clean store

Flynn “Emberite” Ski

Great selection! Stopped here to get some ingredients for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Fantastic fruit and veg range, and lots of organic and alternate options.

Bjorn Humle

Selection limited, kinda pricy staff was frendly

Jasmine Allen

Ghetto for my moneyo.

Sharon P

Nice clean store, super friendly staff. Highest prices in Campbell River though. Very expensive store. Look for sales and dollar days..that's when its a good time to shop. Food is very high quality and they have a great bakery.

Great deli and lunch counter. Great sale prices.

Algy Goosen

There are 2 Thrifty Foods stores in the Comox Valley, one in Cliffe Ave and the other in the Crown Isle Plaza in Lerwick Rd (corner Ryan Rd). This one in Cliffe is the bigger of the 2 by quite a bit and pretty much have the full range of produce, meats, fish and other grocery items plus a Deli. What I like about Thriftys is that they try to source from BC first, but look at the labels, because many products don't even grow in BC, e.g. Avocados. Our default grocery stop for anything we couldn't pick up at the Comox Valley Farmers Market.

Dyzen Matherz

Good place to shop . though it is a tad pricey at times for items. .

Judith Attfield

Clean place and good selection if food.

Linda Norton

Great place to shop

Marie Toews

Great service and products, but might pay a bit more

Tim Akehurst

Higher prices for higher grade fresh food. Processed foods are priced higher than other grocers but other grocers lack the quality of fresh foods that Thriftys has. Go for the produce and meat but buy your canned and packaged goods elsewhere.

Joel Chiri

In Campbell River they make Sushi while you watch and it's fantastic

yoyo guy

A bit more expensive than quality foods but they have a good selection

Jarret Molander

Clean professional store, high priced items

**Edit** Since my last visit, my opinion of Thrifty's has diminished. I bought in on the knife promotion, saved all my stamps diligently and tried to redeem them only to find out they were out of knives and was then notified the knives may never come. Can I expect that this promotion will start up again in the future and more people will be disappointed to find out this is standard practice. The knives got my loyalty but its a fickle beast... First time in. As a new resident to the island, I was impressed with how clean and organized it is. Service with a smile, as well.

Nevin Thompson

A little more affordable than Quality Foods.

Kathy Calder

Jenna William

many options

Kelly N

For a smaller store or packs in a lot of food to meet many different food type needs. The bakery goods like the cupcakes are unreal of you have a sweet tooth. The ginger cookies are my weakness and a perfect thing to bring to a party or a friend's. Friendly and helpful staff. I forgot my PIN once and was mortified but a woman staff member handled it so wonderfully so I keep going back. It's the staff that can make a place, even a grocery store.

Graeme Morgan

Excellent selection!

Jenifer Smith

it was so hard for me to find a parking , then have to wait at check out , it is a long day

Jeff “Humanaut” Welch

Great food store. Big selection.

Justin Kusnir

Too many people in the store. No mask policy.

stevesmith

Great place to pay twice as much as the superstore for pretty much everything! Sometimes it's laughable. Lovely staff , decent deals on meat at times. But thier regular prices on shelf items is crazy. 6 English muffins at superstore $2.28 Thriftys $4.49. Thrifty?

Everything you need and then some

James Quigley

Store seemed alright and staff were friendly but the public washroom was only lit with a black light. A bit odd Ill be honest, but it was clean.

Rob Sander

Expansive meet but best in town

Tim Mcgrath

Excellent stop at the deli and bakery.

kelly mandseth

Shity layout you would need to be a old thrifty custermer to stay going here regularly. it's not for good price's that they are not. But I am sure they have lots that love it to.

I love Thrifty for their clean and esthetic set-up and good selection of fresh olives and cheeses. However their organic veggie and fruits is rather small.

Good variety and selection Good parking I missed out on the whole wheat hot dog buns but Super Store had them this time Who knew ????

Online ordering was fairly simple but I could order from the floral shop the item in the flyer

Michael Linda Huot

Fresh produce friendly staff

Diana Cochran

The odds are good if you can't find an item anywhere else in town this Thrifty store will have it. We were looking for a soft cheese. To our absolute surprise we found Barata cheese. That's hard to find in Vancouver! Great selection of speciality items. Good store hours.

Bill Fallow

Slow cashier

Yarden Jordan Zilber

Amazing variety of products, spacious and not crowded

Corrinna Reynolds

If you want a vanilla sweet cream cold brew do not go there 3 separate visits all were cold coffee with small amount of milk no vanilla and no sweetener. Waste of money on a fairly simple drink

Lorie MacDonald

Thrifty foods has a excellent deli make the best sauage rolls yummy

Leela Harrop

Friendly staff, good selection, and Starbucks inside. Win win!

Geneva Day

Store has a lot of stuff you can't find in Walmart or suprrstore. However, their prices for the same stuff you find everywhere else, are often way more, which is kind of ridiculous. Staff are always friendly, and it's quite clean.

Glenn Lambert

I love the smiles from the staff and could find all my groceries and pharmacy needs in one place. The extra bonus is the Starbucks kiosk that is friendlier and less busy than the corporate store across the parking lot.

Joanne H

Excellent service. Spacious layout. Worth spending time. ♥

Peter Bampton

At 8:35pm on Sunday March 14/21 I was shopping for supplies for burgers. Though I visually noticed that the meat counter display had the lights off I still grabbed the attention of a employee in the department. Instead of inquiring to what I was looking for, I was Instead informed the department was closed. This seems far to early when the store closes at 10pm.

cory mac

Great place to shop. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

Jeevan Kumar

This is my favourite sushi spot for many reasons. They accommodate orders on short-notice, the taste, quality, presentation etc. consistently exceed my expectations, and the fair and affordable prices add value for me and my family. I got a extra large platter for my son's birthday today, and it looks so amazing! Thanks.

Beverley Derby

Good personal service on trip there today. Friendly staff.

Liliana Popp

Very helpful staff. They walked me (many times) to the products, with a smile and cheer! Fine ambassadors for CR (I'm visiting from Ontario). Very good prices on most of items. Specially greens.

sesamie08

High quality and local

Jeff's Opinions/Reviews

This has to be one of the worst Tim Hortons by far. Out of all the times I've gone there I have never once gotten a hot toasted bagel they're always stone cold when you get them. Today to top it off I got a Honey dip donut that was so stale I couldn't even eat it. If you have any other options take them don't go here.

dan old

Great place for higher quality items

Duncan Mcdonell

Nice store lots of choices modern layout

Dieter Endruschat

It's a grocery store. Carries things the others don't.

I find the prices very high at this chain and only go there for sale items or products that I can not get elsewhere.

Donna McIsaac

Always a good experience! Cashier in training with help of another and had excellent service!???? Wish I remembered their names.

Andrew Bonnard

Nice place

Mary Allin

Great staff and so helpful if you can't find a certain item

Anne Chorneyko

Thrifty Food's has a awesome selection & variety in all their departments. Plus they have a excellent choice of health food items and vitamins. Often, one can find those oddball ingredients you need in a recipe. Deli has some delicious specialties throughout the seasons. Worthwhile making the effort to shop there.

Wade Plante

The new flagship store. No some items I haven't seen at the regular store.

Amanda Borland

Great selection!

Robert Davidson

Expensive but probably not set up for government pensioners...odd that such an expensive food store is across from a thriving Costco.

Denys Laporte

Beautiful

Not the cheapest store in town but the quality is high and the staff is awesome.

Carol Nelson

Great store

Dylan Harris

Very good food and lots of local options. You pay more but it's swell quality
