Shopping & Nutrition
There are different types of stores in Fredericton. These are a few of the most common:
- Large department stores which carry a variety of items like clothing, furniture, electronics, cosmetics (Sears, Zellers, Walmart);
- Supermarkets sell mostly food and some necessities (Atlantic Superstore, Sobey’s);
- Specialty stores focus on a particular product line or general area such as hardware or shoes ( Home hardware, Canadian Tire);
- Specialty stores Small convenience stores or corner stores carry basic necessities and are usually conveniently located in residential areas.
Different stores charge different prices for food, clothing, and other things you need to live. You may want to ask your relatives, friends, or coworkers where they shop for good prices. There are also special services or stores in many communities where you can find different items for free or a low price. Store hours vary. Some are open Monday through Friday, some six or seven days a week. The eight days per year on which most stores must close are: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Since 1996, stores have not been required to close on Boxing Day, December 26. Hours of operation for retail businesses are determined by municipal by-laws.
TAXES
When you purchase a product or service in New Brunswick, you will normally have to pay federal and provincial tax on it. Both taxes are put on almost all goods and services, which means that you will have to pay 14% more that the price that is displayed.
Forms of Payment
For your convenience, it is good to determine payment options in a particular store before you start your shopping. It is also helpful to find out about return/exchange policy, which varies from store to store and for different products. If your purchase is not ‘final sale’, you should keep a receipt in case you decide to exchange/return it. Most stores accept one or more of the following types of payment:
- Cash;
- Debit (bank) cards;
- Credit cards, Store credit cards (Sears store card, Canadian Tire store card);
- Personal cheques.
