Thrifty Foods is a great grocery store known for its fresh produce, seafood, and bakery items. It offers a good selection of household necessities and is well-stocked and clean. The store is located in a beautiful area, making it easy to walk from the marina. Customers have praised the helpful staff, particularly highlighting one employee who went above and beyond to assist shoppers. Prices are considered good compared to nearby locations, and the fresh breads and local produce receive positive remarks. Although the aisles can be crowded and tall, the overall shopping experience is enhanced by kind cashiers and a variety of items available. However, some customers noted issues with the Scene app, which does not work in-store.
Popped in here briefly today to grab some dental chews for my dog and I really love this location! Busy but fast and efficient! Staff are really friendly! :)

Can't help but appreciate my time here, Thrifty's on Salt Spring is an absolute local staple. I am biased as a former deli worker but the italian sandwich, samosas and various comfort foods + salads helped me get through my angsty and hungry teen days.

Their smoked salmon and broccoli salad as well as potato salad in the deli section was amazing. Even my husband who usually avoid eating fish liked them. Overall, smaller and less selections on meat and fish but we were there to get some snacks so, got everything we needed.
