Anyone been to Empire in Abbotsford?

I used to go to the Pick n Pull in Calgary and it was great but doesn't seem like there's as many scrap yards in Vancouver

Just got back from No Frills in Burnaby. Grand Opening today. Location on Hastings Street across from the infamous Vegas Donuts and the McDonald's. It's about fucking time they opened up a No Frills in my neighbourhood............. well, close enough. Now I don't have to drive to the ends of the earth for my fix of No Name shit, gulolololol.

It's a pretty big store with underground parking.



Got me a dozen Swanson's Meat Pies $1.00 each. Poor man's food.


It was a nice grand opening. Positive was no indigenous bless this land we are renting from you, bullshit speech and the annoying bang on the drum all day, Lion Dance only lasted long enough to start annoying everybody. I was the first person to get a piece of cake. Like the time they opened up the first Costco, there were more employees than customers.

its such an old guy thing to go to a grocery store on the grand opening lol

yup.............. I'm the best at it.


One day, you'll get it.


god bless


The best one I've been to was the Jysk Coquitlam grand opening. I was first in line. Got $250.00 gift card. Most recent was the SunGiven one in Burnaby. Got $50.00 gift card.

I dunno why, but I never found No Frills to be cheap though. Of course, I have only ever been to the Fraser Street store, and that one only seems to cater to the immediate community where it is located -- so higher prices for the convenience and selection.

no frills is priced exactly like superstore these days, and superstore produce other than a select few of the sale items is superexpensive.

Yeah, I think the current urban concept is really just a stripped down Superstore for areas where they can't put a Superstore. In the past No Frills really was NO FRILLS but the concept has changed since it launched in Ontario in the last 70s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Frills_(grocery_store))

I'd say it is priced higher than Superstore, unless it is their weekly promotional / discounted items.

yray 01-29-2026 01:53 PM

its like thrifty foods

cheaper the name, more expensive it is

"dollarama" :troll:

I've seen people rack up $100 at dollarama

GLOW 01-29-2026 03:24 PM

how do you know my wife? :okay:

spoon.ek9 01-29-2026 05:14 PM

I find Save On and Safeway to be more expensive than Superstore. Costco beats them all on most things of course. Also, I don't know who the hell buys things at Shoppers but their prices are absolutely ludicrous.

sonick 01-29-2026 06:32 PM

Sunwood Save On has new food deals

$6 daily deals and also dine in happy hour 3pm to 6pm daily lol

Also the smash burger is back down to $11.99 (went up to $13.99 at some point previously)

Catherine O'Hara dead at 71. She was a hottie granny. I'll be in my bunk

MG1 01-30-2026 12:39 PM

Bar none Save-on-Foods has amazing deals. Only if you have their app and a More Rewards card.You have to go to "My Offers" and load the week's offers.

Last week, I purchased two loaves of Baked in Store French Bread, two Uncle Ben's Original Bistro Express pouches (the ones you just microwave), and two cans of Bush's Baked Beans for $3.50 or so.

This week's offers are okay. 1KG of Mitchell's Heritage Bacon for $9.99. Not bad.

As for No Frills, I find the Hastings and Clarke Drive location has some amazing in-store, not advertised, offers. Nobody shops regular prices. You guys are such noobs. Hell, even the most expensive places like Safeway and Shoppers Drug Mart have amazing deals once in a while.

spoon.ek9 01-30-2026 08:17 PM

Maybe I'm the old man then because I refuse to add apps for grocery stores lol. I hate having so many damn apps for every single thing.

If I can't get a discount with the physical membership card, I don't care what the deal is :lol

whitev70r 01-30-2026 08:43 PM

^ Klarna says hello, you can keep all your reward cards in your phone, no need to use app. Scene, Save-On, PC Optimum, T&T, IKEA, Canadian Tire, etc.

spoon.ek9 01-30-2026 09:02 PM

I have cards and key chain mini-cards lol. Way faster than opening an app each time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
