It has been my go to place for quite some time now.\nOur staples there are \n1) fruit and veggies - great selection and prices.\n2) Love the thinly sliced sirloin there too.\n3) Biofeel, which are the little yakult bottles, that are terribly expensive elsewhere, there you get the 36 pack for $5.99 (make sure you get the right ones though, there are also some drinks in the same section that do not have the the yogurt cultures!)\n4) German foods\n\nApart from the huge selection in Asian and Indian foods, they also have the best priced selection of European foods there.\n\nThey carry my fav German chocolates (including Kinderschokolade), lots of harder to find German condiments and other goodies. Just to mention a few: vanillezucker, knorr and dr oetker items that aren't usually easily available here like Kartoffelknoedel Mix, Sauerbraten, Goulash and Rouladen mix, Schaumkuesse, Biskuitboden, Milka, duplo, kinderschokolade, Rittersportschokolade, Yogurette, Marzipankuchen, Haselnusswaffeln, Sahnesteif, Tortenguss, hagebuttenmarmelade, German soups, German puddings, teas and baby food even etc\n\nI also get a great deal of specialty diet ingredients there at a much better price than in health food stores and supermarkets. Same goes for larger packages of spices or bulk rice and grains.\n\nThey also have a fair few of polish, Hungarian, Russian goodies there!\n\nThe draw backs are the smell that hits you when you enter the store, you have to watch out for expiration dates and a lot of the packaging is often the original language without translation. So if you need ingredients/ instructions or nutritional values in English you might run into trouble.\nSometimes the frozen food isn't all that well packaged and you get ice crystals and freezer burn, especially on the packages in the open freezers that sit on top.\n \nFor the reasons above there are some things I would be reluctant to buy there, however, there is enough great stuff for me to be ok with ignoring the rest!\n\nHaving said that though, recently it seems they have made a real effort to be more diligent about their expiry dates and in general about the organization and cleanliness of the store, so things have been a lot better on that front!\n\nAll in all we love to shop there! It helps that we don't live far from them too :)
