We bought two double walled bowls with insets used for a separate food. These will help the food stay cold/hot. I wish I had bought more of them now. The ladies were so helpful and knowledgeable. The shop is laid out very well and has 100's of items. You need to stop in and see the huge assortment of items they carry.

I have received some very good advice, which has helped with my health concerns. I feel so much better after following the advice given for herbal supplements. They have a great selection of spices in bulk so you can buy as little or as much as you need or want. They have a tremendous selection of products for such a little shop.

Decent place but always crazy busy, including the parking lot, when I stop by in the afternoons or…read moreevenings. As someone that uses a cane, I do worry about this. As many drivers are distracted trying to see signs, navigating their way to coffee fix and with this oddly laid out but decent sized parking lot it makes it a bit of a take a risk to shop vibe. As I do find the layout is an accident waiting to happen, I try to assess the busy level by driving by to do other things before going here. So far this is a good strategy for my mobility. The grocery itself is conviently located off the main highway and for Duncan, it is halfway along the drive itself. So nice to have a grocery in that area as you can easily add it along your stops. Food is always well stocked and place is well kept up. I always enjoy seeing their seasonal dispalys (turn right and near the floral area is usually where you'll notice the creation). Great selection of items like at any Thrifty's place but I do have to say for price point, I don't feel like it is a cheaper option (like the name might suggest to some). Staff is always friendly and quick to help if you have a question but you don't see a lot on the floor. So there was a few times I would buy vitamins and supplements if I had help locating them but there was no one to be found. That definitely could be an improvement being that they make an effort to stock so much for that section. I really do like their take away items for single people and always find something new to try when I'm shopping. Sometimes even as a gift for a friend. Overall a decent place to shop. Just be mindful of that parking lot situation.
