I love food. Let's get this straight. You may know this. You may not give a damm.

Places which sell copious amounts of food and have a huge selection are a candy-land for me. A true paradise.
So finding Mayrand was an interesting and clever treasure hunt.
Back in the late 80's my dad would take us to a place in Winnipeg called Jensen brothers. This was pre-Costco and a true cash and carry. This was the type of place where you could get some smoking deals on large quantity items.
Discovering Mayrand was an exciting and intoxicating display of goods in large quantity. Do you need a 14L pail of Ice cream? Probably the hell not! Unless you are having the whole neighbourhood over for a block party. Or do you need a whole leg of prosciutto? If your family is from Italy or you are having a feast you may need one!
Okay folks, Mayrand has quantities for everyday shopping as well. Lots of items! Pretty much every department.
They also have a huge restaurant and commercial business side catering to restaurants, bars and other food service outfits as well.
I will be honest with my review. It's not all unicorns and gumdrops. I did buy a very cool sharp oyster knife and did search on Amazon after and found it for $20 less. Yes I was a tad pissed. I did want it ASAP though to shuck the two dozen oysters I just had purchased. So shop and understand your prices.
Some items here are hella cheap. Think bulk quantity.
If you love shopping at Costco you will love their different product assortment.
It's just off the A25 on the cusp or Anjou/RDP.
Oh yes also. Visa + MasterCard are available as methods of payment making it miles above and beyond better than a cash n carry read more
