The prices are lower than Sobeys and they last much longer. I know because living in the south end I also shopped Sobeys frequently for some things.
Meats are affordable especially if you shop the specials, otherwise can be a little pricey. They will also order free range turkeys and I frequently reserved or bought meats for special occasions. On a day to day basis I would buy cheap pork, etc at Sobeys.
You can find just about anything else you want at Pete's, and again if you watch the specials you can get some very good deals.
You can also find people ready to help you at Pete's and always with a very happy attitude and a smile. If they do not know the answer they find out the answer immediately.
Check out is frequently busy but always very efficient and friendly.
I used to shop Wild Oats in Fort Lauderdale years ago and also Whole Foods less frequently but Pete's is superior to both.

I've found produce, especially, to be well priced and WAY higher quality.

Cheese (while amazing) and prepared foods are expensive at Pete's: stick to produce and well-priced meats and you'll eat well without paying more than you would elsewhere.
