On day two of our spring break vacation in rural BC, we found ourselves in need of some essentials,…read moretherefore necessitating a grocery run. Since my grumpy tween twins had NO desire to venture out, much less go shopping with dad, I made the excursion alone. This was good because although the snow had stopped, the roads were pretty sketchy (especially since we are residents of Honolulu and winter driving skills are limited). I originally thought to stop at IGA, but my prior visit to them was disappointing to say the least, so I ventured further into Golden and spied Save On Foods. Being that we live in a large city, this store was small in comparison, but I found it to be fully stocked and reasonably priced. The location was easy to find (but Golden isn't a large town) and I found the parking to be sufficient for the size of the store. The store itself was very clean and organized. As I mentioned, the store was nicely stocked and I was able to find both the things on the "honey do list" as well as some extras to serve as gifts upon heading home (like maple cookies). The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Upon realizing that I didn't have a member savings card, they offered to scan the "tourist" card that was taped to the register. Obviously this request wasn't something new. Very happy with my experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Save-On-Foods to everyone and anyone who might ask. Le deuxième jour de nos vacances de printemps dans les régions rurales de la Colombie-Britannique, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans le besoin de certains produits essentiels, ce qui a nécessité une course à l'épicerie. Étant donné que mes jumeaux grincheux n'avaient AUCUNE envie de s'aventurer, encore moins de faire du shopping avec papa, j'ai fait l'excursion seule. C'était bien car même si la neige s'était arrêtée, les routes étaient assez sommaires (d'autant plus que nous sommes des résidents d'Honolulu et que les compétences de conduite en hiver sont limitées). Au départ, je pensais m'arrêter à IGA, mais ma visite précédente chez eux était pour le moins décevante, alors je me suis aventuré plus loin dans Golden et j'ai espionné Save On Foods. Étant donné que nous vivons dans une grande ville, ce magasin était petit en comparaison, mais je l'ai trouvé bien approvisionné et à un prix raisonnable. L'emplacement était facile à trouver (mais Golden n'est pas une grande ville) et j'ai trouvé que le parking était suffisant pour la taille du magasin. Le magasin lui-même était très propre et organisé. Comme je l'ai mentionné, le magasin était bien approvisionné et j'ai pu trouver à la fois les choses sur la "liste des choses à faire" ainsi que des extras à servir en cadeau en rentrant à la maison (comme des biscuits à l'érable). Le personnel était très sympathique et arrangeant. En réalisant que je n'avais pas de carte d'épargne de membre, ils m'ont proposé de scanner la carte "touristique" qui était collée au registre. De toute évidence, cette demande n'était pas quelque chose de nouveau. Très satisfait de mon expérience et je n'hésiterais pas à recommander Save-On-Foods à tout le monde et à quiconque pourrait le demander.

We were staying in Golden on vacation and Overwaitea was our go-to store daily (and sometimes even…read moretwice daily)! I love that they have a water re-filling station for big jugs if you want to be eco-friendly. It's cheaper and more green than buying new liters of water each time. The store is organized very neatly, and has plenty of room for carts to roam about without feeling cramped. Another +1 is having free, super speedy Wi-Fi. A godsend for foreign travelers without a data plan. The service here is what really sets this store apart. They're genuinely friendly and helpful, and make you feel like you're part of their community. Overall, friendly, local grocery store with a great selection and variety of foods. We checked out IGA one day, and we can say that we 100% prefer Overwaitea over IGA. I highly recommend this be your stop when you're in town!

IGA is easy to find, just off #1 highway. The store itself was quite small and I have to say I was not impressed with the layout or the staff, who seemed put off that I stopped in at 6p. I bought milk, orange juice and water, so my experience was minimal, but I did stop at the Save On later in the week (further up the road) and I must say that they are the MUCH better option. Sorry IGA, you're just OK. En arrivant à Golden, en Colombie-Britannique, au Canada pour des vacances, l'un de nos premiers arrêts (autre que le dîner) a été de faire quelques courses (épicerie) avant de nous rendre au chalet. IGA est facile à trouver, juste à côté de l'autoroute n ° 1. Le magasin lui-même était assez petit et je dois dire que je n'ai pas été impressionné par l'agencement ou le personnel, qui semblait découragé que je me sois arrêté à 18 heures. J'ai acheté du lait, du jus d'orange et de l'eau, donc mon expérience a été minime, mais je me suis arrêté au Save On plus tard dans la semaine (plus loin sur la route) et je dois dire qu'ils sont la BEAUCOUP meilleure option. Désolé IGA, tu vas bien.

My trips have been in the winter and seeing The Crossing for gasoline and a little something to eat is a welcome sight. The Crossing Resort also offers Motel rooms along with a Dining Room, Cafeteria, and a huge Gift Shop. At the peak season, it takes about 80 staff members to operate the resort. Walking into their gift shop turned out to be a welcome afterthought. The sales floor is huge and there's lots of stuff to consider, even if I didn't really need any of it. And since I may never pass this way again, of course I bought something! And I'm sure it had a Maple Leaf on it.

There is also a large selection of books, dvds and CDs if you are looking to entertain passengers with a new movie or some new music. There are tonnes of souvenirs. Almost anything you can think of. Tshirts, sweatshirts, carvings and artwork, maple syrup and Canadian souvenirs. It is almost impossible to get out of this store without purchasing "something". And the prices aren't too bad! If you are looking to stock up on anything for your road trip, or to find some unique souvenirs, the crossing is definately worth checking out!
