Why do people keep shopping at Loblaws? Ethnic grocers are so much cheaper. If you’re in Vancouver, go to some of the Asian grocery stores in Richmond and save literally half your grocery bill.
I wish that were the case everywhere. Unfortunately, I’ve found it to be the other way around here in Winnipeg. Superstore and No Frills are among the cheapest places to shop here, and the ethnic grocers tend to be among the most expensive.
I miss Vancouver for this. I’ve yet to find anything that compares to Superstore/ big box pricing in Calgary. There are smaller stores, but they’re few and far between with higher pricing.
Because that’s only an option if you live in a City. I’m barely outside of Toronto and once you get into the country roads, you’re looking at Foodland or bust for the most part.
In Montréal I find it depends what you’re shopping for. I’ve found its cheaper to go to the Asian market for fruits and veggies, for anything else it’s best to go to the franchise supermarkets.
I literally only shop there when the in app deals are better than the advertised sales at Shoppers Drug Mart, which tend to equal or best sales elsewhere like Food Basics, plus I get points at shoppers for every penny spent but not at Loblaws. It’s not a hard decision where and when to shop. No Frills used to be good but their sales tend to be on par with Loblaws these days

Same here in AB. We shop at Walmart, the big spenders we are

On the bright side they also double as a LCBO!
