Thrifty Foods is expensive, but it's generally very well stocked, friendly and well-run, despite now being part of the Sobeys corporate behemoth. It has an excellent fresh produce section, a seafood counter that rivals Finest at Sea, and at the Fairfield location, Thrifty's wisely carries quite a lot of high-end, often organic, foods in all departments. This is not Mother Nature's Market nor Whole Foods -- both of which are higher end (and generally even more expensive) -- but for a neighborhood grocery store, Thrifty's offers a very pleasing foray into the quality supermarket experience.
