This market is to a big-city Whole Foods as Air Canada Jazz is to Air Canada. In other words, it's…read more the same brand, but it's teensy weensy and you aren't completely sure it'll get you to your destination. This Whole Foods is a health food store, not a gourmet store; it's smaller than the smallest Whole Foods in Vancouver, which means it's less than a quarter the size of a "real" Whole Foods. If you're looking for a few specialty items that you can't get anywhere else, you may be in luck. There's a huge selection of vitamins, a good assortment of gluten-free and other specialty health food-type ingredients, and a very large bulk food department. What you won't find are the goodies that make the full-size Whole Foods so tempting, and so dangerous. Very few preprepared foods, and no salad bar. A very modest selection of cheese and meats. A selection of baked goods commendable mainly for offering wheat-free options. A couple of aisles' worth of boxed and canned goods. And one more note: we accidentally bought milk that was 3 days past its expiration date. So do check the dates on all purchases before hitting checkout.

We even got some super high quality maple syrup and stuff to bring back to the states with us, for cheaper than we get it in Idaho! The only downside was that our cashier was a bit unsocial/inattentive to us. But everything else was very good.

This is especially true of the Senior generation. Yes, I am one of them (81) Wife (80) I find that getting the "MORNING STAR" late Thursdays and finding out the sales are just for Wednesday and Thursdays hard to accept. Seniors like everone else are finding the price hicks hard on the wallet. For Vernon perhaps Thursday and Friday would work out better. I should point out that increases to CPP & OAS are best seen as laughable. Keith Rydings
