Superstore is far superior to Saves on IMO.
If you bank through PC Financial, and use your card to pay, you collect points that you can ACTUALLY USE. Plus, they often have deals where if you spend over $200 you get some free item- 24 toilet rolls, collection of plastic tupperware containers, $25 gift voucher, etc.
It's also a bonus that they sell a lot of "english" items- lots of english biscuits, english style bacon, etc.

They sell the Brit stuff in most of them now. I don't mind which one I shop at. There. Is a save on under one gym I work at, at real canadian by another and. Safeway by the other, I also then use the little shops on Commercial.

IME Save-on is better quality but more expensive. I don't think you will find a Tesco "experience" here. We treat the supermarkets as glorified convenience stores.
