“Absolutely amazing family that runs this store, amazing with kids and always trys to help make things easy as possible. I got injured and they even offered to deliver stuff to me (across street) I am close. But it's still the effort and thought that they put into things. I would highly recommend this store to anyone all around amazing people!!!”
“An enjoyable shopping experience, with reasonable prices.
Recommend for all your needs in the south end of town. I always enjoy the deli items.”
“At the food court a small child accidentally fell and bumped her head, enough to leave a small welt. Within minutes, Morgan was there giving assistance. He saw it from his till, got someone to cover and immediately came to her aid. For a younger man, I was imlressed as how he took control of the incident and made the little girl feel comfortable and safe. He checked her out thoroughly and reassured the little girl the whole time it was going to be alright. She remained calm the whole time. To know what to do when medical attention is needed is one thing, but to be that compassionate is another. Very impressed. Well done!!! Also, we come every week for something and it never disappoints. Fast service, plenty of stock and price wise its fair. Been a member since 2000 and we moved here (Parksville) March 2024 and this is by far the best Costco we have been to.”
“This store is a great little convenient store, very nice couple running it, sometimes if you short a couple bucks they’re happy to help you out. Some regular customers even have credit account.”
“I absolutely love the staffs at M&M food market by Mary Allen drive. They are always so friendly and willing to help anyone finding products. Danielle and Karen were super nice, and Danielle helped me find all things on my list!! You two made my day!!! Thank you so very much again.”
“This store on Bowen Road, Nanaimo is a treasure. I picked up a 6 bone Prime Rib and Lee gave me an amazing method of preparing this awesome roast. Nick has a super positive attitude when i called. I knew itwas the place to get my roast. Lee has the perfect recipe, the sausage rolls are awesome, all the staff are positive. So many all kinds of yummy things to want to buy there.
Thumbs up and 5 stars 🌟”
“Fantastic grocery store! The produce is the best in town, and while it’s a little pricey, the service more than makes up for it. If you’re lucky, you might get Stella, Dwayne, or Rose on the till - good people, always helpful and professional!”
“This is a small friendly store offering all delicious options. From store brands. Gluten free and organic options. Fresh veg. Fresh meats and fish. Delicious baked goods and a lovely selection in the deli.
Worth the shop!”
“The absolute best value for fast food. Try the caramel sundae, unreal and way better ice cream than DQ.
Vegetarian options: No vegan options but they have cheese pizza”
“Excellent service, respectful phone calls, attention to accuracy!We switched to Costco because our friends told us that the rates were lower, so off we go to Costco. The only hassle would be if you have mobility issues, because the parking lot is large, the building is huge inside and there can be waiting in line. But my husband is doing the picking up while I wait for hip replacements :) I'm IMPRESSED with the courtesy and respectful friendliness which overlies the high degree of professionalism of the pharmacists and the adjunct staff. If ever there is a problem with them, we will have this good basis for our dealings with them.”
“Save On Foods at Island Highway, I'm very new to the island and BC in general, wanted to make this review for one person who made my experience in a grocery store memorable and absolutely easy transition I'm not very sociable Michelle M a cashier what a fantastic personality helpful good information made me feel very comfortable I will definitely be back. Thank you Michelle M”
“I ordered a meat and cheese tray to be picked at a certain time and showed up early. Tray was not ready and I had to get to work. Dede was the person whom helped me. She could see I was worried on how I'm going to get back for the tray as I would have to leave work and Xmas is such a busy time for retail. This lovely lady offered to bring to my place of work, I couldn't believe it! She was a breath of fresh air, her customer service was amazing and she was sincere! Quality Food Harewood you are very fortunate to have such dedicated employees! I will be a loyal customer here on in as well! Thank you Dede ❤️”
“We are in town for a few days and need to get some food for our stay, we decided to go to Thrifty's as it is near by where we are staying. Found what we needed, the stor was nice and tidy. The cashier guy we had was super nice! Very different from the service we get in Vancouver. Great place for your grocery needs with very friendly and kind service.”
“QFC has been a wonderful island fixture for years (Starting in Qualicum beach). The staff is still great. The dipper/LPC prices are hard to take of late but grocers margins are paper thin, thank your dim prog neighbors and friends. Hopefully the QFC brand isn't harmed under the Pattinson group umbrella.”
“Excellent little store has everything you need happy people working there helpful as can be I love living in Cedar and this chain of stores makes my day this one or the other one that's down by the school recommended 100% have a nice day”
“Although this is my go-to food store, it’s far more expensive than it ought to be. Selling a box of cans of flavoured fizzy water for $6-8 is ridiculous… but I still pay it. 😩💧
The store is often clean and not chaotically busy most days. Also has a pretty good selection. But I’ve found other stores selling the same items for cheaper, so I’m not sure what’s up with that…
I would love to see Save-on-Foods focus on selling less mass-produced, non-organic, GMOs, etc. because that’s like 80% of their stock, and this “food” is tasteless, unappetizing, and very unhealthy.
Overall, not a bad shopping experience though.”
“Want to thank my cashier today, Danny, he was working so devotedly. I hope him all the success and happiness. Amazing man, thank you Danny for trying so hard to do everything right!”
“Pretty darn good place a little hidden but people should check it out, they got great deals, 50 lb of yellow onions or red onions 15 freaking dollars are you kidding me, super cheap, great place”
“We were visiting Nanaimo and visited to get steaks for dinner. The butcher cut them for us, as they didn’t have what we were looking for in their case. They were excellent! Service was also excellent.”
