Planet Organic

This past few days have been crazy - not because we are rushing for some kind of deadline or what, but because we've been occupying ourselves with going out every so often. On one of those crazy days, we drop by Quinpool Rd and decided for once to walk right to the very end of where any proper retail shop may exist. Before that, we checked it out on Google Maps and found that there were a couple of shops that may interest us. So off we went out on the Metro Transit bus, with our winter boots on and our thick and overweight winter coats. When reached Quinpool, we walked from one end to the other, passing by many of the stores that we regularly go to like Canadian Tire, Atlantic Superstore, NSLC and even KFC. And apart from the Asian grocery, we found this little store which at didn't really intrigue us much (at first), called Planet Organic (for many reasons but for me, mainly because of the O word in its name).

But having roam this tiny store, we stumbled upon a very interesting aisle that sold spices, flour and beans which allowed customers to buy how much they wanted. This is unlike other stores that usually sells in certain quantity. We haven't really compare the price as this store only displayed the cost by a smaller unit of weight, but plan to do so soon. Although we are very please to know that they allow customers to buy how much they want as this will prevent us from the need to buy too much of something which we would only want to use it once in your cooking or baking.

Here are just of the many array of flour/beans that were sold

Shopping

Shopping is one activity that we do so often. Stocking up for food after a week or a week and half to ensure that our stomach is heavily satisfied.

Here are some shots taken from some of the stores we visit from time to time. And also some of the weird or good stuff I thought would be nice to share.


The many selections of bread to choose from... Everywhere you go, either its Atlantic superstore, Sobeys Pete's or even Walmart, the bread selection is simply amazing.... Not only are there alot of brand to choose from, but there's also a lot of types of bread to choose from too. And look at the top of the shelf, you'll notice the types of salad dressing!! Ooo la la la...




Anyway, this you got to see. Imagine a bottle of Chili that shows a tomato on the front label! WTF!!!



That's NOT chili at alll....

Anyway enough of that. We'll just have to live with it for now. Probably until we get some shipment from Malaysia. Hopefully the chili could survive the trip.

But what's really really amazing is the CHEESE!! Oh.. I love cheese and safe to say, I've kinda influence my wife too. She's slowly opening up to Cheese - which is good for me :)

Look at the white-yellow beauty. There's Cheddar, Old Fort, Mozarella, Mix cheddar and mozarella, goat cheese, blue cheese, skim cheese, etc etc. You name it, you got it. Canada is a huge cheese consumer and also producer, so there's no shortage of it.





So, have I ruffled your tummy enough?
