Food Basics is generally liked and recommended for those on a budget, with pretty hard to beat deals and lots of good deals. The store has good hours, an easy location, and plenty of parking. It offers a good selection, including always fresh produce and a good selection of more international offerings. The store is generally well stocked with fresh merchandise. Staff are pleasant and very helpful, willing to help locate items. However, there are frequent criticisms about stock, including not having sale items or raincheck products in stock. A significant concern is not enough cashiers and a lack of on-floor staff, leading to long lineups, though self-checkout is available.
