Shopping Wholesale for Organic Food

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

Buying organic food has become a huge growing business. There are many stores around Montreal, but Club Organic is more of a wholesaler who will sell retail, so you can save money.

Food items bought at this store can be traced back to the farmer who produced them, as these products are certified by Ecocert Canada, an international regulatory network. For nearly two generations, Club Organic has been a company which encourages organic farming.

You can shop without a membership, but for a $30 membership you can buy ground beef, chicken, butter, flour, beans, grains, dates, pasta, oil, nuts, etc. at a discount. They are a complete grocery store.

The more you buy the better the deal: a $1-$99 order will yield a 3% discount on your bill, $100-$299 is 5% off, and $300 and up will get you 7%.

Location: 4341 Frontenac
corner: Marie-Anne
Tel: 514-523-0223
Hours: Mon-Wed 9:30-6, Thurs & Fri 9:30-8, Sat 9:30-5, Sun 12-5

Hi smart shoppers! All of your Mom’s have to shop, so why not give them the tool to save money all year round? There is no reason to waste time shopping for price when the job has already been done by me in my book, Smart Shopping Montreal, now in its 14th edition.

Shopping local is what the book is all about – so stay green and help a Montreal family business at the same time. Those with less time for shopping will enjoy sitting in a comfy chair with the book,  calling stores to ask questions in advance.

Save time by planning instead of  cruising expensive malls or wasting earths’ resources by having online orders shipped here. By saving a minimum of 20% on most purchases, you are in effect gaining a pay raise – as you will have more disposable income.

Q&A: Costco Clearances

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

Q: I was just wondering where I could find in Montreal a store that has damaged items from Costco at a low price.

A: There are 3 places in my book that get clearances from a “low Cost” warehouse store which cannot be named: Liquidation Sim  is on my web site is out in Vaudreuil 341 Ave. Ranger, see more details www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=32 They even keep a wish list where they will watch for things you want and call you if they show up. In the housewares section of my book is 3J Liquidation in St Leonard and Ovasion on Sherbrooke Est.

Q&A: Candy in Bulk

Wednesday, February 20th, 2013

Q: I’ve been a fan of your’s for years.  Love your book, blog and in particular, enjoy listening to you when you’re on Tommy’s show on CJAD.  You are always so informative and caring!

Where can I find a retail or wholesaler who sells sugary candy like liquorice, twizzlers… My son is having a fundraiser for his high school grad and we’re looking for a place to buy the candy at a good price.

A: You can buy in bulk at wholesaler grocer like Mayrand. They sell to depanneurs and restaurants as well as to you and me. Here’s the place on my site for details and location: http://www.smartshoppingmontreal.com/store.php?s=43

Or for a retailer that sells lots of candy, there is Biscuiterie Oscar on Ontario or St Hubert, found on page 113 in my book. Then there are bulk food stores like Bulk Barn in the Marche de l’Ouest or Papillon in the Plaza Pointe Claire. If it’s for a school, perhaps the retailers might give you a break.
