For many working parents, like Sandeep Kaur, grocery shopping on the weekends while balancing the busy back-to-school season can feel like a complicated task. As any seasoned shopper will tell you, grocery stores may appear similar in terms of perishables and shelf-items but can vary widely in terms of prices and quality of goods. For Kaur, the considerations start with her youngest child. As a precocious five-year old, her daughter is a connoisseur of chicken nuggets. She asks for them regularly and knows what brands (President’s Choice please!) she likes.

Her older daughter, meanwhile, prefers other snacks, and she - even more than her baby sister - can be a very fussy eater, making school lunches complicated. Sandeep’s husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law are vegetarians and prefer lentils or curried Indian sabji dishes that they grew up with in their native country before migrating to Canada. Despite everyone’s different tastes, and busy schedules as the school season approaches, fresh meals are always prepared each day at home.
For this family and many others facing these dilemmas, Real Canadian Superstore is a perfect option when it comes to meeting the needs of everyone in their household, without compromising on value and quality. With a wide variety of fresh produce, multicultural ingredients and snacks, back-to-school supplies, clothing and more, Real Canadian Superstore is Kaur’s ideal one-stop-shop this back-to-school season. With their variety of ways to save in addition to their weekly flyer, such as Club Sized items at a low price for the whole family to enjoy, or even collecting PC Optimum Points to redeem for future purchases, parents can feel at ease knowing they’re saving on all the important necessities this season.

“At Real Canadian Superstore, we can buy clothing, outfits or even gifts for the kids all in one place,” added Kaur. “It also offers a great selection of Punjabi food items throughout the store, including everything from Basmati rice to achaar (pickle) to different types of masala and spices.”

To make packing lunches for her children easy, Kaur’s favourites include these space saving bento boxes, colourful water bottles and trendy lunch bags. To keep herself organized throughout the week, she picks up sticky-notes during her grocery shop along with other school supplies for her children such as crayons, glue, and notebooks. Most importantly, she knows there’s always something in-store for her daughters to pick out to make the school year one for them to remember - whether it's their favourite snacks, toys, or even fashionable accessories!

With the busyness of school activities, sports and everyday life, Kaur and fellow Real Canadian Superstore shoppers can benefit from having all the necessities and more under one roof, so they can spend less time shopping, and more time enjoying all the new beginnings the new school season has to offer with the entire family.
