In September, my friends and I spent a fabulous weekend in Osoyoos/Oliver touring the wineries. In…read moreorder to save money (which I spent all on wine!), and because our accommodations had a kitchen, my friends and I decided to purchase groceries and make our own meals, instead of eating out. Being practical (as well as the only girl in our group of four), I suggested that we purchase groceries in Vancouver and bring them with us. But my friend, who had been to the area earlier in the summer, said it wasn't necessary, that there was a grocery store nearby. However, he didn't mention it was a Buy-Low, and I stupidly assumed is was a Safeway, or some other decent grocery store. My friend also said that he had checked the store hours, and they close at 9pm. We rushed from Vancouver in order to make it by 9pm, and arrived at 8:15pm, and saw a big sign outside stating that the store closes at 8pm. Luckily we had had a quick bite to eat a few hours earlier at some crappy food court in some sad mall on our way to Osoyoos, because it turned out that there were no grocery stores open past 8pm; the nearby pub stopped serving food at 10pm (we arrived there at 10:15pm); and the nearby pizza place wasn't open, despite it being a Friday night. Anyway, we went to Buy-Low the next day, and while we were able to purchase what we needed, the food was expensive! Maybe it was because the store was in Osoyoos, the middle of nowhere, but the prices were much higher than even Safeway! Decent selection of items, but the with the high prices and short operating hours, it was like shopping in Reykjavik (although Reykjavik had one 24 hour grocery store, while the other one closed at 6pm).

This Buy-Low is THE secret to a great Osoyoos vacation!…read more Fools that we are, we assumed that (as in our own neighborhood) the Buy-Low was the discount, not-very-good grocery store. In fact, it's by far the best grocery shop we've discovered in these parts...so good that if it were in Vancouver, it's probably where we'd shop. Like the name promises, it's a well-priced source of all the essentials. But it also has an excellent produce department, a wide assortment of (mostly conventionally raised) meat and fish, a remarkably eclectic bakery and a really great range of East Indian (and to a lesser extent, Asian and Mexican) foods. We found everything from buffalo mozzarella (several kinds!) to gluten-free baking supplies to delicious spanish cookie/cracker things (Rosales tortas) that have a cult following on the internet, but which we'd never previously discovered. If you're in Osoyoos, start your shopping here.

They price match without attitude. They bag (no charge for bags) your groceries and put them in the cart for you, and they know how to put things in bags (not too heavy, heavy things not on top of bread, bananas away from frozen...) They help you to your car if you have lots or heavy items. And the only store that I have seen that will actually give you an item free up to $10 off if the price scans in wrong, and has it posted, even if the customer doesn't know it's a law.

The tour started out on the back of Gene Covert's truck and though it was a cold day, it was bearable... And even more so when we got to meet the herd of beautiful llamas on the property. We stopped by the cab sauv grapes and tasted a few right off the vine, while learning about the history of the property. Our next stop was the blackberry and strawberry bushes where we were given a to-go box to fill with these sweet, organic, off-the-vine treats. And, lastly, the tour ended with a charcuterie board-paired with wine. We tried 9 kinds of wine and really enjoyed them all! This should be on everyone's list of things to do while in Oliver, BC!
