Re: cost of living in Nova Scotia
A Costco is in the same block as a Superstore and one of our Walmarts is on a road running parallel while the other is in the big Mall where one of the Sobeys is.
It was the same in Quebec where I lived before. Different names, but Metro, Maxi, Super C, Loblaws, Walmart...they were all a couple of minutes apart.

Same here. Each of three Sobeys is a couple of minutes away from a Superstore (on foot, even) and a fourth Sobeys five minutes away from a Superstore cash'n'carry.

I shop wiser and now cook mostly from scratch for my family too. Tastes much better and I know exactly what I am eating. Fish pie tonight, but even simple things like home made burgers on the bbq taste a thousand times better than store bought. Just wait until the weather cools down (29C here today!) and I start using my slow cooker again

Re: cost of living in Nova Scotia
I agree with you. I'm here at present and will be for a while. As you say, food is so much cheaper, and I can buy half a cucumber:-)! My OH doesn't like them and it takes me a while to munch my way through a whole one!

Just got back from the shops where inspired by Amydavid I decided to buy a cucumber, it cost 79 cents.
