This store has slowly stopped carrying some products I regularly buy. When I encounter the cashiers, it's a "hit or miss"...some are personable some not. While shopping there regularly, I notice some employees are very watchful of customers that it can sometimes be annoying. Also, the elderly customers tend to slow the express line, that I think the store would benefit from having a self-scan... more
This is my most frequented grocery store
I love that they make an effort to create a small town feel in such a big city
The ladies will make small talk with you and they'll take the time to answer your questions
Apart from that, well, they have the basics that you need. But it's fairly small in terms of grocery stores. Most items tend to be overpriced.
Sobeys finally unveiled their completely renovated store at 81 St Clair Avenue East recently. The re-construction, for the most part, took place over about a month with the store fully open for business, thankfully. Finally, on the night before the grand opening they brought in an army of people and completely transformed the store into the new, and mostly improved, look.
The store now has a...

I actually like this Sobey's much better than most supermarkets in Toronto, so by comparison alone, it merits four stars.
They have a good selection of produce, including a variety of peppers including hot scotch bonnets and jalapenos, most of the herbs most of the time, and seasonal produce too. For example, this week I found fiddleheads there. They used to only be available at farmers...

Ever since IGA was bought out and the only grocery options became Sobeys, Loblaws, Metro and the multitude of overpriced 'fine food' establishments, a good grocery store has been hard to come by.
This Sobeys is actually perfect for what I need. The proteins and veg that I like are generally good and it's incredibly convenient with free underground parking. And if something isn't great the day...

A million times better than the Loblaws in the subway or the Brunos on Yonge. A bit pricey, but great for grabbing a few things on the way home from work. Well worth the extra half block walk from the subway.
I've been shopping here regularly for two years and they have never p@!%!d me off so, "Yay! I'm a fan".
They can have some pretty good weekly deals like $3 dr. oetkar pizzas or 10 lbs of carrots for $5 is always nice. Some stuff can be expensive like their cheeses or meats, but if you stick with the produce, other dairy or canned stuff it's reasonable.
My one minor beef is that the post after...

THIS IS MY LOCAL GROCER.
Sobey's does the trick, but that's where the buck stops. I do find the occasional deal from time to time, but I'm okay with the status quo because of the local proximity to the nest.
I do find it much less expensive than the St. Clair Market (Loblaws), so hence I declare Sobey's my local grocer.
One huge bonus is that Sobey's is open 24Hours. I actually did a $120...

I've got a bit of a love-hate relationship with this Sobey's. On the one hand, it's the only substantial grocery store within walking distance to me, and it has a pretty good selection even though it's not huge. On the other, it can be very overpriced at times ($2 for frozen orange juice!), but there are just enough good loss-leader sales to keep me coming back, grudgingly.
It's supposedly...

It happened again. The first time i thought that it was a fluke and wouldn't happen any more but, it happened again and yet again. What? Rotting produce, the first day I got it home (two bags of potatoes - didn't have time to return) then, again, one to two days after shopping I noticed an awful smell in the kitchen. More rotting produce. Something else had gone bad. Now, the yam and the... more
