I was in Thunder Bay recently, medical travel from Terrace Bay ~ stopped in to Shawn's No Frills before leaving city for home on January 31st, 2023.
I'd had surgery the day before but felt not too bad that next morning ~ my travel companion was shopping elsewhere close by~ divide and conquer ~ He is generally with me when i shop but I told him i was only getting a few things~ I thought I wouldn't be too long in there ~ famous last words ~
I found that, as i went through the aisles, i kept finding products, staples, with prices that were 'too good to pass up' ~ i decided to use up Optimum points ~ and sort of 'go for it'. On this day, a mammoth grocery order overwhelmed me at the checkout ~ I realized i should have eaten something before i went to No Frills & started feeling
I asked the lady at checkout if there was a possibility to get help bagging the grocery order ~
She was very proficient and skilled by the way ~ but i didn't get her name. She flagged my request for support and a gentleman who happened to be in line waiting for my order to be rung through, stepped in to save the day.
He started bagging the items ~ he was kind and i felt no pressure to go fast at all. A very genuine person.
I didn't realize until later that the gentleman from the grocery line who helped me, worked there ~ He'd been in line to purchase a small something for his break (I think) which definitely would have cut into his break time.
Anyway, thankyou Shawn ~ loading my groceries in the store and then unloading them into into my vehicle was majorly appreciated.🙆♀️🍁🙆♀️
And it was like minus 35 C outside ~ oh my gosh 🥶 good thing you had on that Soo Greyhounds toque ~
Made it back to Terrace Bay in one piece ~ Son unloaded the groceries ~
See you guys in May ~ #NoFrills
Cheers eh ☃️

This is always our first stop for groceries before Walmart. I have the PC points card and app which helps our grocery budget tremendously. Parking is available at no charge. Parking lot is wheelchair friendly, the entrance to NoFrills is wheelchair accessible. Store is easy enough to navigate. The staff here are always friendly and the checkout clerks are easy to talk to.

Not a lot to say positively about this place. The lighting is dark. The staff seem to glare at everyone and don't seem friendly or helpful.
Prices are about what you would expect. Products are not always available and shelves are slow to be restocked.
Not a lot of check out staff which can make for long lines with equally long waits.

Diagusting. Dirty. Gross. Horrible. Need major updating. Even the shelves were filthy. I guess when you block other competitors and have the market cornered you can hand people garbage and they have to accept it.

I love taking my kids here.... mom did you see the giant container of cheesy puffs ......I never thought bulk sized grocery shopping would be so entertaining for them.
