Thank goodness that I caught each of these charges. I went back to the store, my time, my gas to get a full refund as I should. The way I was handled was that is was a common occurance and oh well. Well it is a BIGGGGGGG CONCERN and that is why I am writing this review PLEASE PLEASE CHECK YOUR RECIEPTS THERE IS A PATTERN HERE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A SOBEYS VICTIM.

I love Sobeys. The problem is that there is neither one close to where I work, nor live…read more Markham used to have one over a decade ago on McCowan, just south of 19th Avenue. I used to work near Mount Pleasant and Eglinton in Toronto. I'd often swing by the Sobeys there. I then got laid off. One of my choices is to go to this Sobeys Extra in Aurora. I decided to drop by one Saturday. I parked in the lot. It was odd that there was a concrete island that separated a single row of spots on one side and a ton of spots that you'd expect on the other. It was different. I was just pleased to park somewhere. I love this store. It's nicely organized. The fruits and vegetables section looks inviting and healthy. I particularly liked the natural source section. It has a ton of dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan food options. I don't know much about cauliflower pizza, but I was happy with the varieties available. This place has empanadas! I love them so much. Yum! You can grab a number of take-and-eat items if you are either hungry and need nourishment fast, or want to bring something for lunch to work the following day and not make your meal. I also enjoyed all the pepperoni products from Noah Martin in St. Jacobs. I bought a pepperoni stick to try out and chomp on as I drove home. It was delicious. I need to come back and get more. Customer service was friendly. I didn't have to wait. I put my items on the conveyor belt, paid, and left with my groceries. Don't forget to swipe your Air Miles card here. The cashier let me know how much I could redeem, which was nice. Prices seem about the same as what you'd expect at Longo's. Some items are even cheaper. It's all about product variety for me and this grocery store has what I need. I definitely will. (291)

Look out Whole Foods. Sobeys is not letting you into Canada without a specialty food and gourmet…read moregrub fight - and us consumers are going to be the sole benefactor of this new next level battle of the grocery giants with Jaime Oliver leading the charge for Sobeys! The new Sobeys 'extra' concept is a total revamp, with a focus on specialty items and giving each item or genre of food on your grocery list it's own spot in the sun. This ain't your florescent lit-aisle after aisle- "discount on fish fingers in aisle 3"- grocery store anymore, it's a living breathing market filled with warm colours, soft lighting, expert displays and specialty EVERYTHING! Every aspect of the store has a tactile market feel that brings you in, gets you interacting with the store, it's shelves, displays and various specialty counters. Like the market your grandparents would have gone to, you'd interact and inspect each item before you purchase it. It's no different here. Except, Sobeys wants you to interact with the store itself. For example, sectioning off the dairy items into individual glass door-ed refrigerators which look slick and well polished - asking to be opened so you can grab your pick from behind it. The flow of the store begs to be shopped, there is no more walking up and down aisles, in Sobeys 'extra' you're led to the next item on your list in a natural flow as you would at a Sunday farmers market. Why have one counter for all deli when you can break it down into specialty counters, one for cheese and gourmet crackers, and one for deli meats. You can say goodbye to Starbucks, Tim Hortons and McDonalds in stores because at S.e. they're roasting their own beans in store in front of your eyes before they make you your cup of coffee! Amazing! I also eluded earlier that Jamie Oliver has his stamp all over this place as Sobeys new spokesperson. You see his books, his gourmet items and recommendations everywhere, as if he was some sort of Grocery Dictator. Hail Leader! *Salutes with organic carrot* These are a new breed of concept store and thus not everywhere, BUT, if you have a chance to visit Aurora (just off Hwy 404), north of Bayview and Wellington. I recommend that you do - It will blow your mind!

It's a smaller NF store, they seem to have a good variety of items across the board, however, no fresh fish/meat counters available. Meats and chicken are prepackaged.

Tip: Collect PC Optimum points at this grocery store…read more A couple of months ago, I was at this plaza having dinner at Swiss Chalet. I noticed this Tufts Your Independent Grocer store and made a mental note of it. I have only visited the Your Independent Grocer store in Pickering and had a wonderful experience. PC Optimum was kind to have me pick up a package of any PC The Decadent line of cookies as my birthday perk. The catch was that I could only get these free cookies from a Your Independent Grocer store. It was the perfect opportunity to check out this grocery store. I came here after work on a Wednesday. There was plenty of parking at this plaza. I got a prime spot steps away from the grocery store's main doors. I backed into the spot and walked in. Drinks and juice greeted me. Prices can be on the higher side. I saw a jug of cranberry juice going for $10. I was here to get some groceries. The produce was healthy. All leafy greens, from romaine lettuce, to spinach, looked fresh and vibrant. I like this store. It's the perfect size. Not too large. Not tiny. Just right to find what I need. There was a prepared foods section that looked good. You can pick up a rotisserie chicken. I was eyeing the sausage rolls. Yum! There was a jovial male staffer at the customer service counter who made my day. While passing by it to get to the cookies, he asked an elderly gentleman if he was of age to buy alcohol. It was sweet and endearing. I didn't buy any ice cream, as I have a few tubs (yep, plural) in my freezer. I know that when I'm ready to restock, I should come here. This store has an extensive ice cream section at various price points an flavours. It also has frozen yogurt, sorbet, sherbet, and dairy-free options to suit your dietary needs. I found my chocolate chunk cookies. I grabbed a package and felt accomplished. The checkout area with humans is charming. I like the street lights. The only downside was dealing with a female staffer at the checkout. I said hi. I got no response from her. Was she having a bad day? It kind of put a damper on my first visit at this store. I got my PC Optimum barcode scanned. The cookies were indeed free. I then paid with a credit card. Easy peasy! When I thanked her, this woman seemed to be in better spirits and actually wished me a good day. Either my positivity finally rubbed off on her or she was indeed trying to get out of a not-so-great day that she was having. I bagged my items. I then headed to my car to put them away before heading home. I liked shopping at this store. It had everything that I needed. It's not exactly a discount grocery store. It does have more variety if you are willing to shell out a bit. (310)

This FreshCo used to be a Sobeys -- Markham's only Sobeys. Well over a decade ago, I used to shop…read moreat this Sobeys often. I loved it. The store was open 24 hours a day and had everything that I wanted. It shut down. I was sad. I sought other places to get groceries. The hours were the best. I remember shopping here after the company Christmas party at around 1 am. I was the fanciest person wearing a chiffon skirt, shiny blouse, and a long coat in the store. I also pumped gas in that outfit afterwards. Ah, memories. Anyway, I don't shop at FreshCo often. There's one on my old route from the office in Etobicoke that I'd drop by once in a blue moon. A few weeks ago, just before Easter, I decided to check this FreshCo location out. I'm glad that I did. I am so used to getting a cart without requiring a coin deposit that I was shocked to see that you needed a quarter to unlock it. I don't carry change with me during this pandemic. Luckily, there was a nice man with a plastic green tool that simulated a coin. He inserted it into the coin slot of my cart and it was unlocked from the one ahead of mine. Yay! Such an angel. I thanked him and carried on. The produce is in pretty decent shape here. The celery and melons looked fresh and pristine. I got a bag of avocados that were perfect. I also got carrots, mushrooms, and onions. I was happy. The bread section is also great. Cinnabon and Sun-Maid breads were there. I liked the brioche baguettes that looked fancy. My main reason for dropping by this store was for a couple of items to make my Easter meal: stuffing and a turkey. The best prices were at FreshCo and both were in stock. I love Stove Top stuffing. It's a great supermarket shortcut. I aad finely chopped mushrooms, onions, and celery to it. I love it so much that it disappears fast. At the beginning of this pandemic, only huge turkeys were available, and I'm not talking about some of my colleagues. I'm glad that 5 to 7 kg turkeys are available these days. It's plenty for me and my parents to devour. I got a Butterball and was happy. After getting my main list of items done, it was time to check out the rest of the supermarket. The frozen foods are impressive. I have never seen so many variations of Jamaican patties, including vegan ones. I bought a box of baked beef ones and they were yummy. The other highlight was the assortment of paratha and naan available. I stood in front of this fridge section for the longest time trying to decide which flavour I wanted. I settled for the onion paratha. As an aside, they pan-fry nicely and quickly. They are flaky and so good. I came back recently and got a box of empanadas. They were excellent, too. Both times, I had no difficulties at the checkout. Both women helping me out were nice. I tapped with my debit card and my groceries were all mine. You do need to either bring your own bags or get a free box from the pile before you exit the store. I had bags during my first visit. I had a handful of items during my second visit, so I carried them to my car and put them in a reusable bag. I like this FreshCo. It's clean. Prices are cheap. The quality is decent. The only weird thing is the quarter deposit to get a cart. I need to find one of those coin contraptions that the nice man had. There was plenty of parking both times that I was there. I backed into my spots both times. I'll be back. I'll likely try every paratha and patty flavour that this store offers. (150)
