Stopped by Food Island today, to check it out. Very busy, bright, well-lit store. I think this place will give United a run for its money.
Very reasonable prices. A litre of milk is priced at $1.99, compared to $2.79 at Shopper's Drug Mart or Remark, and usually $3.29 at Metro or Loblaws.Flank steak at Food Island was $3.79/lb, while flank steak at Remark is running $9.99/lb.
Well-stocked meat dept, including goat, gizzards, all sorts of organ meats. Produce dept is well-stocked, with very low prices. Florida clementines or mandarins for $0.88 a bag. Very limited number of Chinese baked goods compared to T&T. I didn't notice a bakery department. Everything seemed to be cellophane or plastic-wrapped and shipped in.
