Craig’s No Frills

No Frills is what the concept is. They have amazing sales, and if you stick to the sale items (normally what I would consider pantry items) you can save a ton of money. Bring your own bags or boxes and be prepared to pack your groceries quickly as it is usually pretty busy.

No Frills is just as its name suggests, no frills. This is a grocery store chain of the Superstore/President’s Choice variety, but on a much smaller scale and with much less selection than a Superstore or even an Extra Foods. They don’t carry a lot of the President’s Choice Brand items (although they do have the PC Decadent Cookies which are amazing), but they have a lot of No Name, and No Frills brand. Sometimes stock can get pretty picked over, especially if there’s a sale or during the after office hours (3pm to 6pm-​ish), but if get here during the week on a morning the stock is usually pretty decent. Sometimes the produce can be a little ifffy, but maybe it’s just that time of year right now where produce is kinda crappy no matter where you go.
Today I went to No Frills for their dollar days sale and I picked two boxes of Chapman’s ice cream sandwiches (4 per box) for $ 1 each, and two 500ml containers of Chapman’s ice cream for $ 1 each. Did I need the ice cream or ice cream sandwiches? Yes. Yes I did. You can’t go wrong with ice cream at that price.
Most of Leduc’s grocery stores are on 50^th Street north of 50 Avenue (Sobey’s, Safeway), or are west in the very busy Leduc Common shopping area (Walmart, Bulk Barn), so it’s nice to go to Extra Foods where the traffic is a little less busy. While it’s not inside the store there is a small Liquor Store right next to the No Frill’s.
