Provigo is your standard grocery store--nothing too exciting here folks but it has all the basics you need. Its close for us McGill students and get really busy on Monday night when there is 10% of your purchase over $50 with a student ID. The President's Choice branded products are good, I have yet to be disappointed from frozen foods (chicken wings and fingers are particularly good) to pasta sauce and ice cream. The prices here are high compared to its suburban counterparts but I find their prices to be lower than nearby Metro. The service is bad. The unionized staff care little for the cleanliness of the store itself and the cashiers are generally unfriendly and unhelpful. They often have good prices for beer and wine, so stock up when they're on sale. If you are buying a lot of goods, and you don't have a car, they over delivery for $1. The delivery takes a few hours at least, so if you're cupboards are bare you might want to carry home. The reason I shop here is because its the closets thing to a 'superstore' that we have in downtown MTL. They have a full pharmacy--with helpful pharmacists. So its definitely a one-stop shop: drugs, fresh food, alcohol (beer and wine only), and an extensive selection of frozen foods. So come here if you must, its well located for McGill students and cheaper than Metro.
