Buying organic food has become a huge growing business. Club Organic is more of a wholesaler who will sell retail, so you can save money. See the flyers below for some of their October specials from coconut oil to peanut butter.
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%.

This company has been a meat distributor for 38 years (so they really knows how to keep customers happy) and for the past 6 years their retail shop, L’Entrepot de Viandes, has been open to the public. Now you can take advantage of their direct-to-consumer prices.
Sales on the flyer below are for racks of lamb or pork, veal shoulder roasts, veal cutlets or boneless chicken breasts, ed
Steaks are a specialty here. Their customers know to come in when they want high quality rib steaks (they use high grade prime rib for these), T-bone steaks, tenderloin, rib eye or filet mignon. The meat is Angus beef and is aged for 4 weeks; it comes from Canada and the U.S. Filet mignon is often aged 6 weeks. You can buy beef, veal, pork, chicken and lamb here.
You will enjoy dealing with the butchers, since they are all knowledgeable, very helpful and very friendly. What a pleasure in this day and age of human-less warehouse shopping. There is no charge for them to cut and vacuum pack your meats. Many different cuts of meat are available, and everything is sliced to your specifications. When you leave, it is all ready to be placed in the freezer, and is perfectly portioned for you and your family.
Look in the freezer for: Nathan’s hot dogs, lamb chops (from UK), tuna steak, swordfish steaks and salmon filets.
They have weekly specials, so if you give them your email address, they will add your name to their list to receive their weekly flyer.

If you’re really undecided about what to prepare for Thanksgiving, how about something a little bit different?
I was surprised to see camel meat prepared for Chinese fondue being promoted in this week’s IGA flyer. If you look on page B7, you can find a “new” featured product. La Maison du Gibier is selling 200 gr. of camel meat for $7.99.
Épices Anatol Spices is a wholesaler also sells retail, so the prices you pay are quite good. There is a huge inventory with 60 varieties of tea and 150 herbs (some for tea infusions), and it’s only $5.99 lb. for coffee. Add to that 600 spices (cinnamon sticks, star anise), 90 kinds of nuts, whole wheat, soya and spinach pasta, buttermilk powder, sugar free candy, wasabi peas, tonka beans and henna for your hair, too.
For baking expect to find many flavour essences, bulk Callebaut chocolate, candied and dried fruits (papaya, pineapple, blueberries, peaches cherries, cranberries), and silver pieces for cake decorating. You can get even better prices by buying in larger quantities.
