Cucumber Pickles
If you’re looking for a pickle without garlic, these ones are delicious. Tangy and crisp, they are a fun addition to a potato salad, or, just on the end of a fork for a lil’ snack. Even my garlic obsessed hubs enjoys these.

If you’re a fan of a big juicy pickle, these are a good choice. Tangy with a vinegary bite, I like this option to keep in the fridge. They’re good on a burger with some yellow mustard.

A sweet Bick’s pickle was a staple of my grandma’s fridge. She lived to be 97 years old. I’m not saying it was the pickles that did it, but I’m also NOT not saying it.

Adding a little crunch to a sandwich, these sliced pickles deliver.

If you’re watching your salt or are avoiding garlic, these are a great and tasty addition for sandwiches, burgers, or hot dogs.

Cornichons can have a surprising taste if you’ve never had them before. They’re savoury, and a little on the bitter side. These ones go well with cheese.

A Canadian classic! These dull sour dills are briny, crisp, and garlic forward. If you haven’t had these on your table, give them a try. Find them in the refrigerator section.

Olives
Why are olives with pits fancier than pitted olives? I have no clue! If you’re looking for an olive that will impress your guests and isn’t too expensive, I recommend giving these ones a try.

A cheeky little garlic clove is hiding in these olives. I like to serve them for an appetizer or nibbles at a holiday party.

Canned blacked olives are one of those things that shouldn’t be so tasty, but they just are. I love how affordable these olives are and how they pack a punch of flavour. I like them in Greek inspired salads, nachos, pizza, chicken salad…. I could go ...

Beets
Sometimes I’m not up to cooking. These pickled beets make an easy and scrumptious side dish for a lazy night.

Most No Name products are a reliable choice, and these beets are no different. I like the chunked pieces that have a little bit of sweetness.

Sauerkraut
So tangy! So tasty! Honestly, I sometimes just eat a little bowl of sauerkraut for a snack. Maybe that’s weird, but it’s too delicious to care. This is also delicious on a hot dog, or with some pork chops.
Strub's Wine Sauerkraut, 3.78 L
Peppers
These pepper rings aren’t too hot, and add a nice little spice to any dish. Sometimes I chop up a few and add them to some heated cheese whiz, with a little ground cumin, to make a jenky (but tasty) queso dip for chips.

Perfect for pizza, or to make a pasta sauce, these prepped peppers are handy to have in the pantry. One of my faves!
Unico Roasted Pepper Strips
My favourite thing about these peppers is when you get one that is filled with the vinegary brine and you bite it and it bursts in your mouth. Yum! These peppers are on the spicier side for me, but a fun indulgence on occasion when I’m making myself ...

With a crave-able flavour I can’t get enough of these mild pickled jalapeños once I start eating them.
