I get that City Market has a higher end deli, meat, and bakery section, but when they charge over $3 more than Superstore for the same grocery aisle item (Kicking Horse Coffee as my example), there is a problem and I'm not shopping there.
Italian Centre Shop on Fairmount Dr (Off Southland) is better than Scarpone's. More variety, better deli and the cafe is excellent.

I agree about Lina's though. It's a last ditch stop if ICS doesn't have what we're looking for.
