The Real Canadian Superstore is one of the most cost-effective places to shop for groceries in Vancouver. Prices are consistently lower than most other grocery stores, and there is a large selection of items. The Superstore at 3185 Grandview Highway is conveniently located close to the Rupert Skytrain station.

Shown below is my dinner, with ingredients bought from Superstore. It’s a quick meal of boiled/fried perogies with onions and a cheese sauce, served with boiled vegetables.

Milestones is a popular chain of trendy restaurants in the Vancouver area. The Yaletown location (1109 Hamilton Street, 604-684-9111) offers casual dining in a hip atmosphere. I ordered the Seafood Fettucini, which was $16.99 plus tax. Made with Cajun spices, the pasta was very tasty.

Mr. Greek Taverna (6450 120 Street, Surrey, BC (604) 592-0707) provides generous portions of tasty Greek food in a friendly atmosphere. The roast lamb special (pictured below) was about $13.50 before tax.
