Bidrage med feedbackNice place to get yummy muffins, cakes, fresh fruits and veggies. Located in a very beautiful area in Port Moody. Sometimes you can find very good deals on pastries and fruits there. It is not an ideal place to buy meats, seasoning and sauces here because prices are pretty higher compared to other places!
A great local grocery store. Yes, it can be pricy, but the staples like their fruit and vegetables are always top quality. They also have a great bakery and deli. Well worth coming to for a quick lunch or your weekly shop.
Thriftys has the best meat and seafood department of any grocery chain in the lower mainland, bar none. They have well trained butchers on staff, and offer premium proteins at very reasonable prices. Produce and bakery are also fantastic quality. I often call ahead for custom cuts, and I haven't been disappointed once. Pantry items are pricier than typical, but that's to be expected given the nicer shopping environment and their focus on stocking local suppliers. I find most grocery stores to be a stressful place. Thriftys is a pleasant place to be.
Excellent bakery! Lots of options for fresh cookies and treats, plus I really appreciate the year-round hot crossed buns and the cakes that are made of 4 different cakes assembled so you can have options for picky dinner guests. The produce section is also great, with a lot of beautifully arranged varieties you can't get elsewhere. I also appreciate the clean bathrooms. All that being said though, we no longer go to this location because the staff seem unhappy and the customers are consistently and unmistakably miserable. I don't know what to make of it, but we've never been to a grocery store that has such a reliably sour clientele. Anytime you stop to browse a section, another customer briskly sidles up VERY CLOSE besides you or behind you, impatiently tapping their toes and glaring until you finish, or reaching aggressively in front of you for the item they desperately need at that exact second. Seriously, the last time my wife and I went it happened to both of us 4 times within the first 5 minutes of being there! And I don't like to dawdle, either, but apparently I can never be fast enough to please the others. Our theory is, because the store is at the bottom of a bunch of residential towers, it's mostly patronized by residents who know what they want and are in a hurry to keep to their daily schedule, which would explain why they are all single, joyless, and think they own the place. So it's not really Thrifty's fault, but it's also a good enough reason to never go there again. Thanks for reading!
Sarah and Ellie are the greatest cashiers ever. I go here all the time and they?re super courteous and friendly. They always give me a good laugh!
