In short, this was one of the WORST GROCERY SHOPPING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. I went there expecting lower prices, I discovered that they are only equal too, when not more expensive than Superstore. In addition, the owner became very upset when presented with a price match inquiry.They have a lot of expiring baked goods that are marked down %50, so if you can eat 6 muffins within a couple of days, then you can save a buck. That is the only area I can see one saving money here.I was discouraged when I walked out with a small box of groceries that costed $120. It seemed that no items were any less costly than my usual stop at Superstore. I ran over the receipt and compared the items to the Superstore prices posted online. Right away I found 3 items that were cheaper at Superstore. I thought it would be worth inquiring about the price match offer that is ADVERTISED IN GIGANTIC LETTERS all over the building! OH MY was I mistaken! First I was interrogated by both the cashier and the owner who each assumed that I must be mistaken about the price difference, brand, size, etc! Even after I proved the details needed for the price match I was spoken down too, belittled and found myself in a debate. I realized that the person I was speaking too was very upset about the inquiry and she felt the need to repeatedly bark at me that she was " The owner". So I tried to reason with the Lady that I assume is named Tracey. I usually shop at Superstore, I have just moved to the area, I am looking for a better way to shop for groceries. I am new to no frills, I have never done a price match before, and I was simply inquiring about how it works! This seemed to help the tone of the conversation. The conversation went back and forth repeatedly as MUCH TIME was spent trying to understand what kind of advertisement was acceptable for comparison, what geographical region she would decide was an acceptable distance. Finally, I got a straight answer that Edmonton and Area was acceptable, it could be any advertisement, not just a hard copy flyer. I got back in my vehicle, confirmed that the price was local. The Manager at the St. Albert Superstore was extremely helpful in helping me prove the price difference. Finally, FINALLY, the price match was honored and I was refunded 3-whole-dollars. Let me just say, time is valuable and $3 was not worth it. The cheese went bad in my hot truck due to the time it took to get through it all. When I got home I dropped the box of groceries and broke 2 items that costed $9. WHY? A combination of factors. Ranting to my husband the whole drive home about the ordeal, weight unevenly distributed in the box, lack of balance while 7 months pregnant, a kink in one side of the box and being over-all flustered from the whole situation. Superstore is slightly farther away, but now I know that it is worth the distance to go there instead.
Terrible !!!you really need to instruct your staff in customer relations...myself and 2 other ladies after a dispute over the price of coffee.which we were told was on the wrong shelf behind a price tag..we were told that the writing was in plain english so even i could understand it...was then told along with 2 customers that if we did not like it we could shop elsewhere...
Great big store in little Morinville.Great service and fantastic pharmacy. Up until recently I was told the meat department was a weak spot but Ive purchased beef,pork an chicken there with amazing results. Could you guys maybe get more gluten free options?Thanks
As per usual they had everything I was looking for. The sales were great and the staff very friendly. I truly enjoy shopping here
Prices are good for Morinville and surrounding area, just be aware that no frills does sometimes mean no frills. For example, sometimes fresh mushrooms are a "frill".Also if you follow the flyer and want to take advantage of the sales items make sure to come early as they run out fast. Shelves are not always stocked promptly. Also perhaps because this is a small town but their fresh meat section is rather limited, especially when it comes to steak.
