Then I remember I don't have to and head to the Bulk Barn. Great selection of just about everything under the sun and reasonable prices. Beware the candy aisle(s) though; once you enter it's difficult to leave without your arms laden with pounds of junk food. (Did I say pounds? I meant kilograms.) They also carry some specialty and gluten-free products that can be difficult or impossible to find in mainstream grocery stores. I must work on remembering to make the Bulk Barn my first stop when grocery shopping to save myself some money and frustration.

This time, I was thrilled to find Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk Seasoning - something I had only seen in Jamaica. It's the best jerk seasoning for jerk pork/chicken/etc. In addition to groceries, you can fill your belly at their sandwich/soup/salad counter. You select the meat/cheese/veggies/condiments and bread, and they'll hook you up. I especially love the wide selection of salad items. Just point to what you want, they will up their mixing bowl and tossing up with your favorite dressing. All ingredients are high quality, fresh and delicious. I wish we had Pete's in NC!

I love Pete's hard to find unique and import items. If you're looking for respite from the…read morenever-ending monotony that is shopping at the regular grocery stores, I definitely recommend it here. When you walk into the store, the first thing you notice is all the British imported food and snack items.. Reminds me a lot of my childhood and I usually buy something for nostalgia sake. Right beyond that is beverage display case with all sorts of drinks you'd rarely see elsewhere. I especially enjoy their local and import ginger beer selection, as well as Ribena. Beyond that the store is a mixture of exotic cheeses, excellent produce, a deli, health food aisles and the British butchery. This butchery is especially known for its Nova Scotia lamb, which is the best I've bought anywhere around here. The beef steaks are a close second. Needless to say, due to the nature of the products sold here, the prices are exorbitant.. I keep Pete's as a treat to go buy a few luxury food items if I haven't entirely blown my food budget for the month. If my budget hasn't been blown yet, it's sure to be so once I'm done at the Frootique. While many of the items are quite unique, there are many food items that are..items which can be purchased at your regular grocery store for half the price (ie. many of the dairy products). I also think the space the store occupies is much too small... you constantly feel like you're in a traffic jam trying to navigate the narrowly jam packed aisles, and always a hair breadth away from knocking things over.. the store is so cramped, I picture knocking something over as having a domino effect.. dropped a bag of chips?...there goes the whole aisle. The check out staff are fast, friendly and on the ball with keeping registers open. I don't necessarily see this as good customer service, though... since the store is so cramped, if long lines were to form then customers in line to pay would take up half the retail space (I've seen this happen here more than once). I definitely recommend this place, though, even if just to window shop. You might discover something new on every visit.

I have gone here to buy boxes of chicken breasts. They do have a great selection of the everyday stuff, nothing special. However you do not have to pay extra to shop and it is centrally located for you. Cash and Carry. Not a lot of staff to assist you. Prices are comparable, remember nothing small is bought here. Every time I have been in there, there has been a lot of customers.

It's somewhat like Costco, just much smaller and more food-oriented. You can really find some amazing deals here. I can see why small restaurant and store owners like to shop here since a lot of stuff is in bulk. It doesn't have a lot of frills, so don't expect it to be like Sobeys, but if you know what you want when you get there you're bound to be impressed.

The noodles and tofu were tough and rubbery and the sauce was too sweet for me. I know I said I didn't want spicy but dang. That being said, my husband (who ordered a sauteed beef rice plate) was very happy with his order. It came with a salad (lettuce, cucumber and tomato with a vinaigrette dressing and the beef was seasoned beautifully. I was so envious of his meal! The spring rolls were the true gems of the meal, especially mine. My hubbie put it perfectly - they were the first spring rolls that we'd ever had where the outside of the spring roll felt like part of the food, instead of something crunchy. We had the meat ones, but I'd be really interested in the veggie ones too! The lady who works the front counter (and I'm assuming owns the place) is amazing. She has so much energy and makes sure you have everything you need. It was much more like a traditional restaurant service-wise than a fast food joint. She came out and collected our trays when we were done and brought us sweet and sour sauce unprompted for our spring rolls. I really loved her and would honestly go back just because she was so great. (And for the spring rolls)

Absolutely love this place. My husband and I refer to it as "the red barn in Dartmouth". Not only…read moredo they have some amazing deals weekly, their meat and produce are always very clean and fresh. They only carry beef, pork and chicken. No lamb or goat or organs. The first time I came in I was energized by all the hustling and bustling in this place. I was also surprised that it was smaller than I expected. Then I realized there were other parts of the building that weren't "store front". We usually come here to stock up on steaks, ribs or whatever meat they have on sale that week. If you're into raw food for your pooch they've got that covered too. Another thing I've noticed is their cashiers are very efficient, aka fast! Walmart and Superstore should send their cashiers here for training. If I really have to be picky, I'd have to say that this is not a place to bring your children. We can only come when one of us stays in the van with our young children. For one, their shopping carts are small. And secondly, this is a very busy place with limited floor space. Also the parking lot on the weekends is a zoo. But even with these "hindrances" we still manage to buy groceries here.

The Slightly Longer Version: This urban grocery store reminds me a lot of The Kitchen Table of days gone by (in Toronto). It has a small amount of groceries and has baked goods from local suppliers as well as prepared ready-to-eat foods. They had some locally brewed kombucha too. Prices weren't too high, reasonable for what it is. Store is bright and clean looking. It's not quite as big as Pete's Frootique on Dresden Row, but they are a bit similar. (192)
