Ralph's Thriftway

Always a great comfortable place to shop! The food and selection is always high quality. Lots of unique items. Great even for a small gift for someone and some more unique cards. Just far enough away from the crime of downtown but close enough to some really nice neighbourhoods, parks, and right across from big Tom's for a Burger.

Love, love, love the selection in this store. For a chain this size, I personally love that they still carry a large selection of vegan, dairy-free, locally sourced artisan, and organic options. Their produce section does not disappoint! As well as their alcohol section. They have just about everything you'll need for food and drinks, and much more. I appreciate that their cards, home goods, and medication section is also decently robust. My new favorite place to shop.

I do like that I can find certain foods and uncommon flavors here that the other stores just don't carry.nnBut, and here comes the but.. The prices are very high. I know that some specialty flavors of common products do not sell as quickly, but the prices here keep me away from doing my main food shopping here.

They have regular grocery store stuff, but then they also carry the most incredible inventory of items from unique and unusual cooking utensils to exotic oils and lotions for your skin. They also have a GREAT floral department and an in store Post Office! You pay a little more to shop at Ralph's, but you tend to get commensurate bang for your buck.

The store is great for those hard to find items and stuff to make weird food they have prepared food in the middle of that is so good however if your on low-income this is probably not the place for you to go grocery shopping I got two bags of groceries that probably would have been about 30 $40 or $80 they're so as a low-income disabled person on fixed-income I would probably not shop there again unless I was looking for some rare shellie's or really good high quality meat or something the staff is friendly it's a clean store it's wonderful I just can't afford to eat there
