Reviews of Save-On-Foods (Pharmacy)

Czie il Italian Lover of food & Adventures

My new go to for refilling large water jugs. Really like that the machine is in the back of the store and not right in the door way like other stores. You can take your time filling multiple jugs without being in the way of other customers. Lovely deli and produce options. Really nice local wine recommendations in store. Parking lot is a bit of a nightmare some times, but worth it.

This lady at the customer service desk was so rude so nasty had a bad attitudes I will never bring my family to shop here again she is so disgusting and racist

Lexie Loo Roberts

SaveOn is my go-to grocery store. The employees are amazing and go the extra mile ALWAYS. I've shopped there for 20yrs and will continue for the rest of my life!

Murrz Goldn

Highest quality food available among all the grocery stores. Beyond that the store has quite an assortment of gifts and good impulse items. We have been long term shoppers here for decades.

Moira Coward

Always great service... love Darrell's Deals!

Megan S

One of the better places to buy produce.

Alyx Lukacs

Rachel in the deli was super helpful! Thank you!

Jessica Pitstra

Great grocery store slightly disappointed they have a wine section inside of the store but all in all good fresh products at reasonable prices especially if you have a more rewards card. Staff is friendly. Washrooms always clean.

Shad Owen Kahn

It is closest

I find Save On Foods prices to be higher than most stores. The last few times I have gone the smell is terrible. As soon as you walk in the odor of old stale seafood hits you and personally makes me feel nauseated. I also think.that the new wine area is a waste of a big chunk of square footage. There is such a huge presence of Security now that I feel it puts out a message that Campbell River isn't very safe especially to an oooii88utsider .EDIT : the smell seems to have improved from how it was before .It had been bad for quite some time I would say over a year but now the smell is pretty much non existent!

Gary heymann

Not for me, a lot of ethnic food

Leah Lewis

Love save on especially for their customer service! The staff goes above and beyond always! They did have a decent selection of keto friendly options a couple years ago but I'm finding other stores have grown in that area much more

Dave Simard

Great customer service and great quality

Sportrac Soul

Clean store

Josh Fry

Meat department is quality. Take out food is subpar. Above average pricing for necessity items.

Daniel Andrews

Great place to get groceries in Campbell River

Za Chan

Staff are polite and helpful; there are lots of options, including international goods.

David Cheatley

Like all the others, like they want it to be.

Elisha Roberts

As I browsed and took my time selecting products I found interesting, I was approached by two staff members who treated my like they were police officers and I was a wanted criminal. I was about to put a few things I found not essential for todays purchases and this is when they took my items and walked me to the teller as if I were an unwelcome customer. I am a mixed race female who has been mistreated by the male Caucasian save on foods staff in the past. Perhaps, my recent misfortunes of heat stroke and being hooked up to IVs made me appear as if I were a junkie, but I was embarrassed and brought to tears by the ignorance of such rude self-righteous "management".

Whiskey Ginger

Best grocery store. Love the staff

mike mckay

good store and nice people but the marker is in the wrong side of the street

Laksmi Dasi

Very bright and welcoming, a big hot food and take out area for lunches downtown, layout is quite different from most other stores from this franchise but its easily accessible and has a modern look.

LakeIsSuperior

Always good selection and very approachable and helpful staff. Love the bulk section

Misko Valent

Great selection of produce, deli, and meat!

Clint Monson

Excellent grocery experience :)

Krista Hack

Was nice to see a friendly face in the grocery aisle (thank you Dale) but the cashier well now, I think she must have been having a rough day.....instead of politely asking me to move my own cloth reusable grocery bag she raised her voice in a not so nice tone. One thing I can say is I won't go thru her till again no matter how much longer I may have to wait.

Vickie Turvey

I use the curbside delivery here and it it works very well.

Chelsea Little

I went into save on foods after purchasing a pack of cigarettes, I wanted too go buy something too eat ceaser salad and a bag of chips. I went into the chip isle and 2 of the workers came up too me and started WRONGFULLY accusing me of shoplifting. I don't steal, I hate theifs with a passion, they wouldn't let me purchase what I wanted and they asked me too leave, they cause me a bad anxiety/pankc attack.

Jerald Wilks

Having shopped in Save-On-Foods in several cities I was absolutely appalled at the service here. On a weekend visit to Campbell River I managed to get two separate poor customer service situations. First time I tried to use the self checkout. The first item would not recognize I had put it in the bag. So I stood there looking around for anyone with the red light flashing on my checkout. There was no one at customer service and no one working the self checkouts. Finally a security guard walked by and looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and walked on. I went through the lineup at another terminal, and exited...noticing my self checkout terminal still flashing unattended with no one around. Second time I bought alcohol and had to wait at the checkout. There was only one checkout open. Again I noted no one at customer service. I waited and waited as the cashier dealt with two customers clearly taking time. She made no effort to call extra help, and to my surprise I noted several employees walk by during this time and no one seemed to care. When I reached her finally I expressed how poor the service was and poor service on a previous visit. She showed complete apathy. She called someone else over to ring me in because apparently she couldn’t. I told Al - Assistant Operations Manager how terrible I found the service. Again I was met with complete apathy. I noted his name tag boasted 30 years of award winning service. As much as I’d like to pin this on a checked out employee, the previous cashier had told me that customer service was only open certain hours (hours she couldn’t even confidently express). So clearly owner/management has made it clear on how important customer service is at this location. This Save-On-Foods still has the same prices and selection you might expect. But someone should be fired to make room for someone who wants the job of running a store with pride.

Mikehanson John

I love shopping local

Jimmy yediaz

A typical good quality neighborhood gtocery store. Meet your neighbors there.

Mirek Kotis

Fresh produce and decent bulk foods section. Was able to quickly get what I need a out quickly. Pefer using the self checkout, but only because I don't like getting stuck behind some slow customer, or some idiot hunting for their status card to save a lousy 5 dollor on top of the savings for the points card.

Russell van der Vliet (BrotherGrimm)

I always enjoy shopping at this location! The staff & especially the security guard, are always friendly & have a smile on their faces while doing their jobs! If you can't find it, they either show you were it's located; or tell you it's out of stock till a certain time of the week!

Gary “Thinkgary” Schell

Great but expensive

Russell James

Good place for a quick shopping trip.

Isen Pellegrin

Megan Haslehurst

So expensive

Brian Dickson

Still don't think Grocery store should have a Wine Section . Miss some of the house brands (WF Salad dressing is better tasting than Kraft Miracle Whip and smaller containers of WF Coffee Whitener is soya based where as Coffeemate is Petroleum based).. I sometimes feel you don't promote your house brands enough !!!

Mikhal B

I shop here quite often, Very friendly service for the most part I can't find anything to complain about.

Ricardo Nichols

Best place to buy groceries in town.

Michael MacNaught

Best place to shop, everything is fresh and clean.

Francis Mortanian

I really like the product and cheese selections. You want sprouts? They have them. In five varieties. Pears from three continents. You pay a tiny bit more for better quality meals, and it's worth it.

Gloria Peters

Dean Stewart

Nice store and saw some very good prices. Although I did notice when I was looking at turkeys that the turkeys that were a bit bigger than the 12.5 lb. That I bought. I bought for a special price, $.99 lb. Were selling for $1.29 lb. I don't understand this as they were the same. Just bigger. When I inquired why the difference in price I was told by the meat guy that they cost more because they're bigger. ??? That's how selling the by the pound works. If it's bigger you pay more. You don't raise the price. Am I missing something here Like? Like to know what gives.

Eric

I really appreciate the pharmacy staff.

Deb W

Great selection and awesome staff. Customer service that goes above and beyond

Veronica Bassett

The Pharmacy is terrible! so unhappy with the service, i will NEVER be back. I had a required medication that has to be taken Daily! and when i dropped it off i was informed they only had 10 and the remainder would be ready for me in the following week, upon my return Yesterday Nov 19,2018, first the girl had no clue what i was talking about, had to tell her over and over the same thing. then she looked in some bin where my paper had be put with ZERO FOLLOW-UP!! I was informed by the pharmacist that they had NONE on hand..... There was no call to me, or attempt made to get the product until i was present!!!!!! i had gone to Superstore where they had some and then i called back to the save-on pharmacy to get my dosage, only then did the pharmacist inform me that she had found 4. no call was made to me, i had to call back. I have called 5 times today to get my husbands RX renewed and no answer, all i get is a machine!!! I will NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PHARMACY AGAIN!! THE SERVICE AT THE EVERY GREEN IS SECOND TO NONE, AND I AM ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF!! I am very angry about how i have been treated at this pharmacy, and it is not the first time.

Trevor Mahalek

I went to the pharmacy to buy some insulin for a friend. She has type 1 diabetes requiring a surgically implanted insulin pump and a diabetic alert dog. She also has a business training diabetic alert dogs for others. She lives in Texas. Insulin is very expensive in the USA and she asked if we could buy some and ship it to her. A prescription is not required to buy this insulin in Canada. It can be sold as an over the counter medication. I went to the information window at the pharmacy and had one of the gentlemen confirm this. I told him my friend had been there in August and had purchased insulin. He then proceeded to tell me they do not keep record of who buys it because anyone can walk in and just buy it. He told me what products they had and I said I had to text her to find out what she needed and that I’d return in a moment. A different gentleman helped me at the prescription drop off window when I returned. He did not treat it like an over the counter medication. I was asked if I was diabetic. I told him it was for a friend. He asked for her pharmacare information. I said she’s American and doesn’t have phar macare and isn’t this available without a prescription? He then asked if he could see an empty vial or box from her so he could see what she’s using. He then cited ‘legalities’ for wanting this information and not wanting to attach his name to it. I told him it wasn’t possible to do that and he refused to sell me the insulin. Two employees in the same pharmacy contradicting each other. I was treated poorly and as if I was doing something wrong. That mans behaviour was unjustified and his response full of bullsh*t. My family will never spend another dime in these stores. Christine Foster

Ben Thomas

different layout but frankly staff could be more engaging

West Coast logic

They have a great curbside pickup setup going. If it wasn't premium priced everything for average quality (like all save on food stores) they would get 5 stars. Rarely mess up orders and help fix it when they do

Mark Howell

Always helpful staff and the prices are average for town.

Aline Harris

Good services

Peter Clark

It's where I get groceries... What more can I say.

Sandra Quatell

The produce dept is the best in town. Love the fact l can run in for milk cream butter eggs and bread and it's all up front. However the aisles are very narrow and l don't appreciate the wine taking up three lanes.

Bill Duffey

Hey -- when you want to save on food.. .

Dean Faak

Prices are high but the quality reflects that for the most part.

Dino Sartori

Graham in the bakery is top notch! Goes above and beyond to deliver the best customer service.
