Being a busy mom of three, I don’t at all think I’ve ever got things fully figured out. Looking ahead to back-to-school in September, with all three kids in school full time, I wondered aloud to my husband if this meant I’d finally have the time to make dinner five nights a week (let’s give mom a break on the weekends!) He, in turn, wondered aloud if that would really happen, and we both agreed that we’d have to be realistic. Life gets busy, things come up, and the best intentions sometimes fall to the side in favour of what’s quick and easy.
If your family, like mine, finds that they’re ordering take-out more often than their bank account or waistlines would like, you’ll be happy to hear about the Save-On-Foods Kitchen waiting for you in the new stores here in Saskatchewan (Yorkton and Saskatoon) as well as, of course, all Save-On-Foods locations.
Save-On-Foods has a huge kitchen on site and the employees are busy at work making a large variety of fresh foods for a quick lunch or to help your dinner prep tonight. Perhaps the most talked about and therefore well known aspect of the Save-On-Foods Kitchen is the Wing Bar! With a variety of over 16 types of wings, there’s always an easy go-to item waiting for watching the game or a quick appetizer to keep the kids happy while prepping dinner (my favourite is dill pickle wings!)
You can also find authentic hand-stretched pizza – Napoli style – made fresh in store – ready hot or ready to bake) along with side-dishes and more, all hot and ready to go.
Of course, there’s also a selection of other delicious mealtime favorites like salads, soups and fresh made in store sushi.
Forgot to make lunch before day-camp this summer? You can easily slip into Save-On-Foods for fresh-made sandwiches, along with individual servings of fruit, and perhaps a yogurt parfait – lunch truly made easy!
Here’s something unique at Save-On-Foods that’s worth pointing out so you catch it in the flyer, in-store or online; Save-On-Foods Fresh Solutions. Every week you’ll find a new family-friendly recipe and everything you need to make it waiting for you in store.
This week, while vacationing at my sister’s in Okotoks, Alberta (where there’s another brand new Save-On-Foods store!) we saw the Fresh Solutions recipe for Blueberry Energy Balls and headed out to the store to pick up everything we needed to make it ahead of a day at the beach, followed by a trip to a family amusement park the day after that. Perfect!
Look for new recipes every week in store, in the flyer and online, on the Save-On-Foods app or follow Save-On-Foods on Facebook for recipe links and handy videos! You can also browse all of the past Fresh Solutions recipes here: www.saveonfoods.com/recipes
That looks soooo good! This is what I miss about living in a reasonable sized city.
What a great selection – we can always find something we like at Save-on.
I wished our grocery stores had the hot kitchen, they do but not with a selection such as this store!
that’s a wonderful selection in your store. I could go shopping there when I want to stock up or grab a few things for an impromptu picnic.
I now have a craving for pizza and a salad lol … that will have to be dinner tomorrow night. definitely a great selection it seems
I get so jealous reading your Save-On posts as we don’t have them on the East Coast but would be nice if we did.
My daughter lives close to a Save-on- Foods and I shop there all the time when I visit her.
I wish our store had the hot kitchen selection, maybe the store on the other side of the city does. This store looks so nice compare to ours.
These look like amazing stores, shame we don’t have them in my area!
Very convenient! Looks a fair bit like Sobeys around here 🙂
Everything looks so nice,i would love to try those wings !
It looks like such a clean bright store.
Looks delicious!
We went to our first Save on Foods Kitchen while visiting family near Okatoks Alberta. We loved the store and the kitchen! The staff especially in the meat Dept we super nice to us.
Love this idea.. Any timeline on this type of store service coming to Salmon Arm, BC?
We also had samples of your barbecued for sampling, beef cheddar bacon burgers, I nearly swooned!
I checked at our salmon Am store, only to be told they are only available at full service meat counters!
There went last nights supper plan down the drain!
The weekly family friendly recipe is a great idea. I’ll look for those.
Wish we had a Save-On foods here, looks like the store for me!
Dill Pickle wings sounds amazing!
What a great variety of fabulous foods!
Thank you! We have a Save-on-foods less than an hour away from us in Lethbridge! We are planning to head into the city for a picnic and we are definitely going to have to stop by and see if they also have a wing bar!!
We are also going to try and make the blue berry energy balls with some fresh picked ontario berries!
Okatoks Store has them! Love that store!
We don’t have a Save-On-Foods close to us but I wish we did!
There is a Save-On Foods near our home and I shop there often.
All the sandwiches and soups look amazing
Wow, what a great selection! I wish we had a save-on-foods near us!
I do love the convenience of it!
I wish there was a Save On in my area. Our grocery options and quick supper ideas are so limited.
What a great concept!
that sounds like a great concept.
We finally have Save-On Foods in Winnipeg but I wish the aisles weren’t so confusing!
They look like they have a great selection of fresh prepared foods
We like to stop in and grab ready to eat dinners when we go for dates outdoors, like hikes or bike rides. Save-on has great options for us!
I cannot wait for the Save On Foods near me to begin their renovation if it is going to look anything like this one.
Save on came into my city in the past year – it’s not close to home so I am not there too often but I make a point to stop in if I am out; there are so many great deals and a wonderful selection
I used to do quite a bit of my shopping at Save-On, now that we’ve moved there’s none close enough. 🙁
Wow, sure wish we had a Save-On-Foods store in our area, love the vast variety of yummy looking options.
I got your mushroom soup best I’ve had in years I will for sure buy it again and try some of the other ones too.
Is there any gluten free options in the kitchen?
