The Long Version: So everytime I'm visiting a city or town that's far from home (far being a relative term, but anywhere about 100km or more from my house, lol) I like to check out the grocery stores, even the large chains, because I find stores always have local items that I can't easily get at home. So while we were in Perth, ON, my husband humoured me and came with me to the Perth Metro. I was thrilled to see local-ish items like Artizen Kombucha (brewed in Perth) and Merrickville Bakery cookies (not in Perth but Merrickville is nearby and closer to Perth than it is to Ottawa, where I'm living). I also spotted an alcoholic version of Tahiti Treat, which I've never seen before. I loved Tahiti Treat as a kid! The store is fairly large. It was nearly organized and clean looking. I liked how the aisles are named after local streets or areas (in addition to having a number). We got a bottle of the pineapple coconut Artizen Kombucha ($3.99). The cashier was courteous and efficient. Note they have no self checkout kiosks here. Lots of free parking in their private lot in front of the store. Review #44 (2025)

We had been up to this market in the past and saw their hot bar food, but didn't have time to get some, so we had to come back to try it. We ended up ordering some chicken tenders, potato wedges, and Mac and cheese. The chicken tenders were very crispy with a nice seasoned flavor. The potato wedges were very good! They had a nice crispy exterior with creamy potato on the inside. The Mac and cheese was good, with a creamy texture, I myself could have just used some pepper on it. We definitely will be back in the future to try some of their other foods and their subs.

Original review: So Almost Perfect is a chain with several locations. Prior to my visit to this Brockville location, I had only ever been to the Toronto location. I would say that the Brockville location is comparable to the Toronto location. Almost Perfect is a grocery store outlet. They sell items that are "almost perfect" like mis-formed chocolate bars, or broken cookies. They also sell items that are approaching their best-before date or discontinued products, like things in flavours that didn't sell well. Their prices are cheap, cheap, cheap. I got some kale chips that usually sell for $6.99 a bag at Loblaws for only $3.33 a bag (the "best-before date" was 3 months from the date of purchase, so not bad at all). They had lots of Udi's gluten-free breads going for $10 for 3 loaves. They had Annie's organic gummies for $2.99 a box. Inventory changes regularly, so it's a surprise with every visit :) This location is a stand alone store (not in a strip mall). There's an attached parking lot with free parking. Staff are super nice and helpful. They only take cash or debit. No credit cards. This place is awesome. If I lived in Brockville, I would go every week!

I had a bad taste for them when they told me to hold my returnables during the pandemic or take them to Big M. Now they require me to have my license scanned to buy beer. This is not a NYS law. Check my DOB fine, even look at me and notice I'm a senior, fine, but they are data mining. I told the cashier I did not want my License scanned and she said the store requires it. I said I didn't want my info in their system. She said" Oh Honey we already have all of your info" Great to know in these days of system hacking." I'm done with them. I'll drive farther to Big M where they use their head. I now know why they are still in business, when up the road is a cheaper option.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cool health food store in Perth,…read moreON. Lots of local, organic, and ethically sourced products. The Long Version: I love health food stores, so I had to check out Foodsmiths when we were in Perth. It's similar to Dandelion Foods in Almonte, and Natural Food Pantry or Kardish in Ottawa. Foodsmiths does seem to have more local items though and they have a formidable bakery section that the other stores I mentioned lack. They had tarts from Mrs. Garrett's Bake Shop (in Inverary, Ontario). As an aside, when I hear Mrs. Garrett, I will forever think of Charlotte Rae's character in "The Facts of Life." Lol. This clearly exposes me of being of a certain vintage ;) The regular prices of items that are easily found at other stores (e.g. Carbonaut, Made Good, Organic Meadow, etc.) are a tad higher than at the stores in Ottawa, but they have clearance sections and discounted items throughout the store. We were there at the end of January (2025) and I noticed a small Lunar New Year display with red lanterns, red parasols and a blue dragon. I was surprised to see that they sell sandals (!) They're all Birkenstock style sandals though, lol, the brands I saw were Finn Comfort, Haflinger, and Mephisto. I enjoyed poking around the store. Lots of free parking in their private parking lot.
