Personal and new favorite



I have decided to get personal on this blog, as opposed to sounding really commercial. After all, there are real people behind FRUGO, and they also happen to be our most critical customers. Sharing their feedback will definitely help everyone, and today the note-worthy product is an Avocado Cutter.




If you like avocado, you know the benefit of it. If you don't, then you might want to know that avocado is considered an almost complete food. It is rich in potassium and vitamin A, which is great for skin healing. It is also a great add-on to salad, shell seafood and many other things. There is even a site devoted to avocado recipes: http://www.avocadorecipes.net/.
However, cutting avocado can be a messy process. Our family has found that this avocado cutter really makes the job so much easier and better. The cutter has three edges for the different purposes: the long edge is used for cutting open the fruit, the narrow edge is used for taking out the large seed, and lastly the larger round edge is used for taking out the flesh. We like it when a gadget really solves a problem.

Trudeau & Frugo


FRUGO is proud to carry many of the famous Trudeau kitchen gadgets. Since 1889 Trudeau has built its expertise and reputation on supplying innovative and quality designed products. Here are just some of the items we have in the store. We also offer catalogue order for all the Trudeau products. Their products can also be found online at http://www.trudeau.ca/.
The hottest item right now is the Automatic Oil/Vinegar Bottle $6.99. The lid opens as you tilt the bottle, and closes as the bottle returns to the up right position. There is a lip around the dispenser, so the oil will drip back into the bottle and not onto the table.

Frugo Markham is now open!

Finally, FRUGO Markham is ready and open for business on Oct 2nd. After three long and winding weeks of hard work and preparation, we could peel off the cover that was blocking the wall of windows from the sun shine. The entire store lid up right away after the cover was gone. It now looks spacious and airy. Come to the store and you will find something unique and interesting. A neighbourhood department store is born in a very nice neighbourhood.
