It would be interesting to see where you think the best grocery deals are. I realize this is very dependent on location. I live in Ottawa and some of the local stores may be unknown to residents of other cities.
In Ottawa, the local grocery store options where I live are:
1. Loblaws: Groceries at Loblaws seems not only expensive but also wilted and not very fresh. We typically avoid buying groceries here.
2. Costco: Not always the cheapest and available only in bulk in most cases. Since produce perishes quickly, buying bulk tends to lead to a lot of it just thrown away.
3. Produce Depot: A local store that has fresh produce and cheap prices. Unfortunately, if you shop here, you'll also have to shop elsewhere for other household items. We tend to do our grocery shopping here every week and bulk up on other items at Costco or Loblaws.
4. Farm Boy: Fresh produce but not the cheapest prices, so we shop here rarely.
