Superstore came out on top in CTV Calgary's price comparison of grocery items on Sunday, July 13th, giving shoppers the best buying power for their money.

The prices are a snapshot on the given day.

Got a weird diet the people who do them shops! Why would you need three different types of syrup Also, how is it maple syrup is cheaper in the UK than it is in Canada where it's produced?

Steve_P

Why wouldn't you want/need three types of syrup?

Some like maple syrup some don't, I personally don't.

Some prefer Aunt Jemima pancake syrup.

Corn syrup would not be used on pancakes.

Can't answer you last question.

I can not work out that fresh canadian lamb is not found in the safeways/ superstore. I found it once at christmas and a barrell of oil was cheaper!!

But I can buy frozen new zealand lamb.

I can see canadian sheep in the fields, where do they go? who eats them? Do they go to New Zealand and sold really cheap and frozen

Steve_P

I have no idea where it comes from but Costco has great lamb chops that appear to be fresh.

I shall look closer next time I visit the local store.

Canada Dreams

For the record Costco are king where fresh meat and value are concerned

does anyone know if they use clubcards etc in these price comparisons?

as im sure you know a club card in safeway, or the co op card can mean big savings.. so do these get taken into account or is everything jsut at the full non clubcard price?

Superstore (or Stupid-store as we call it ) may be cheaper overall BUTTTTT their meat is cr*p. Prefer Sobeys and Safeway even if the price is a wee bit higher.

Also the service is cr*p in Superstore. Spend ages trying to find anything, then when you get to the checkout, they throw your food down at you at such a pace, you can't keep up with the packing - not fun if you have kids with you.

I refuse to shop at Superstore, would much rather spend extra $20 - $30 in Safeway, get the Air Miles and have your bags packed for you.

Also it's rather ironic that Co-op is the most expensive - it also has the worst quality fresh fruit and veg of any of the other supermarkets. More mould than fruit sometimes!

According to the blurb just above the comparison tables; "All coupons and membership programs are included and some chains vary prices from store to store. "
So I guess they do.
