Giant Tiger has everything real cheap. But you will have to replace what you buy in weeks usually.

i go to the local village market..canadian tire..LOVE that store...walmart...esp now we have the supercenter one here.....Zellers....and london drugs..and the local weekend markets..when they are on.

interesting to note that i was eating oranges from california..and so was my mother in australia...LOL...the produce we get here on the island is good quality..i buy what i can at the local vegie markets....always good to support your own local produces. also..interesting to note too..that most of the clothing i buy..is made in thailand or india.. esp the cottons.

another thing too..is that there is much more availabitiy of organic foods....i am realy impressed with that..i dont' know how this compares to where you are from..but compared to australia..the prices are much much cheaper here...and the availabity is more more more...my son and i drink organic freshly made OJ everyday we do it ourselves..yummmm

Completely agree with you Maple Leaf

The food shopping here is VERY good - especially if you read the flyers and take advantage of promotions. We also get plenty of BOGOF offers.

The fruit and veggies from the local farm stores are excellent - there has been a great selection all through the winter. There is plenty of local produce and also great stuff from California. Strawberries are $1.45 pound

Depends on your definition of "organic". We pay $300 for a 40lb box of organically fed but free range beef.

Honestly, I do most of my shopping next door. My neighbor is an old blind crank, so when he's not at home, I just crawl through his basement window and raid the dump. I'm even wearing his underpants and a set of his false teeth.
