AVOID....I’ve noticed a significant number of items at food section are either past their best-before date or, in some cases, already expired.

I love this place. It seems to have everything at good prices. I still go there even though we moved to Eastern Passage.

A mice ran out right in front of me when I was walking and I stopped and was absolutely stunned. The store is good but only the prices, but with mice running around no thanks.
