H & W Produce Corporation

Good service, low prices, lots of selection. If you’re in the market for produce this is an excellent place to shop. You have to be your own quality monitor. Not everything is top-​quality but produce is like that no matter where you go. In addition to the produce they seem to always have very fresh bread products from the Italian or Lebanese bakeries. There’s also a nice selection of pickles, olives, jams, nuts, dressings and juices. This is an excellent choice for local, daily shopping when you want fresh foods or you’re going to try something special with figs, berries or specialty peppers and such.

I absolutely love this produce grocery store, I will never go anywhere else! We come out of there with two big bags full for about $ 10-​$ 15. I have been to a few locations, and I find this one the best! Very cheap produce, one of the few times I’ve been there they had PEI potatoes which was very exciting for me because I’m from there!

This place is great for inexpensive produce. I have been able to get numerous bags of fruits and veggies for $ 15 – 25 every time I shop here. Everything appears fresh and I’ve never had any problem with quality. I often am able to buy a bag of 6 – 7 colourful peppers for $ 3, great for slicing and freezing. Also great for fresh herbs and spices. Highly recommend this store!

Little local grocery store with cheap produce. Although the quality of the product is not always perfection, the price difference between H&W and other grocer retailers usually makes up for that gap. It is a bit or miss which produce will not be bruised or spoiled but usually it is good enough to consume within the week and often at a very nicely discounted price.
I like the bagged greens for really cheap, bags of hot house peppers (4 – 6) for less than $ 2, and pantry basics like onions, potatoes and garlic.
Overall I would recommend this place for produce first and you can easily supplement anything else you require at other grocers as a backup.

H&W is a star for my family!
The produce/​fruit are the lowest regular prices you’ll find (not as good as loss leaders, though).
It’s great for large quantities to cook immediately, can, make soups, etc.
It’s not the typical quality you could keep for a couple weeks in the fridge.
Be sure to ask about clearances — I’ve picked up strawberries for $ 5 a case, blueberries for $ 10 a case, and bell peppers for $ 5 a case! That’s about 90% off typical retail!

We shop regularly at H & W Produce for our family. They regularly carry the following vegetables:

green onions
garlic,
snap and sugar peas
bell peppers (green, red, yellow and orange)
cabbage (and sour cabbage)
many varieties of lettuce
carrots

mushrooms (white, brown, portabella, shitakki, enocki)
express salad kits
celery (and celery hearts)
Varieties of Squash

for fruits they normally have on hand
apples (gala, red delicious, granny smith, etc.)

watermelon (big and small depending on the season)
as well as some fruit juice smoothies and a few bread products like white and 80 percent whole wheat and pitas
while this isn‘t all their items, it‘s what we normally see there despite seasons. The store is adequately layed out to accomodate a lot of people while still feeling like a village market. The best part of H & W is their prices. I regularly find that I pay about half to a third the price for produce for our family. We first found this when i found the need to stock strawberries year round due to my oldest daughter‘s obsession with them. H & W allowed us to always have strawberries on hand because normally they are only priced about 2 a lb. This type of pricing has allowed us to regularly incorporate snap peas, and mushroom and bell peppers into our snacks and meals in everyday use.
You can also choose between boxes or bags depending on what works best for you. They help you load it and off you go. We‘ve actually started letting our five year old pick one fruit and one veggie no matter the price and she loves it.
The only con or downside about H & W is that we find the life shelf of the produce is a lot less than most chain grocery stores. If your not planning to use your produce in the next 3 or four days it‘s better to wait and shop the day before. We find the life shelf generally for fruits and lettuce is limited to 3 days, once you plan for that your on your way! if you don‘t plan for that (like we did the first few times) you may end up getting excited at the prices and wasting money throwing out rotten produce a week later.

I was excited to shop here after reading all the great reviews. When I first moved to Edmonton I definitely noticed the lack of smaller produce outlets that so many other cities have. It’s refreshing to see that this type of produce store can be successful in here.
H&W produce was just OK for me though. Decent selection but the quality was not the best. Some stuff as someone else mentioned here was obviously rotting and definitely wasn’t appealing to me. Price wise some things are cheap but many items were on par or more expensive than what I usually pay. After the one time I don’t really feel the need to go back so unfortunately I have to give it 2 stars. Still, I’m happy to see that others like it here so much. It proves that this type of store can be successful even in the big box land of Edmonton.

Last night I ventured out with my 2 year old to find a new (and better) source for fresh produce. I’d been hearing about this place on the radio for the better part of a month now, so I looked them up and found out that this location was only a 10 minute drive from my house!
I was able to get a LOT of produce for a small amount of money. Things I normally would have passed up like extra fruit for example, where well priced and didn’t look sickly. I ended up spending $ 25 for what would normally cost me about $ 40. When I got home and showed my husband, who normally rolls his eyes at my crafty spending, he was impressed. I plan on going back again Friday or Saturday for all my fresh produce shopping and I am very excited about it.
I plan on getting as many things from this store and highly suggest that you check them out.

When we first moved into our own place here (but only had one income), I had to find interesting ways to feed us gourmet on a budget. One of the ways I did this was shopping at H & W.
A coworker of my husband recommended this place to us, so I gave it a try. And I was pleasantly surprised. They have pretty much any basics you might require, and from time to time they also have unusual fruits and vegetables to accent your shopping list. I couldn’t believe how cheap I was coming out of this.
If you get on their mailing list, you get the weekly list of deals to help you plan your menus and shopping list for even better deals.
In addition to the produce, they also carry salad additions and pitas from SunBake Pita Bakery. Another nice thing about this place was that I could do all my budget shopping in one place, since they are next to Giant Tiger, and I could stock up on basics like molasses, canned tuna, canned tomatoes, and canned mushrooms… that sort of thing. Add a trip to Bulk Barn, and you’ve got yourself a great meal at a fraction of the cost of Safeway.

Been here twice now this week.
I checked it out when it first opened a while back, possibly a few years ago. Wasn’t all that impressed with the selection/​quality, but I feel it has improved.
My faves so far this week was purchasing red peppers at $ 0.99/lb & cucumbers for $ 0.69 each. Can’t beat that! You do have to be choosy here, sometimes there are obviously spoiled things out on display.
Will continue to check it out. Fresh veggies & fruit always cost so much more in the winter, and this place is super affordable!

Just awesome here, I walked out with 4 full bags of produce and it costed me under $ 30. Location kinda sucks but there are other locations through out the city. Produce tased really good. seriously cant believe how cheap it was

H&W is an green grocer and provides just that.
This is the best place in town to buy produce. The quality and variety of the produce is excellent. So isthe price. I bought a clam shell of blueberries for $ 2 and at other large grocery retailer it was nearly 4 times that amount.
H&W stocks the standard things like potatoes, onions, carrots, lettuce, etc., as well as fruit. Some fruit and veggies are not available on a regular basis due to what’s in season at the time. They also sell salad fixings like croutons, nuts and dried fruits as well as pitas and bottled dressings.
H&W also makes fruit and vegetable trays which are reasonably priced and feeds 12 – 15 people. These trays are loaded and you must turn them upside down to serve them so their contents don’t spill. You’ll have to order your trays at least 24 hours in advance.
Now you can’t use cost as an excuse not to eat healthfully!
