Canadians have revealed which grocery stores in Canada get you the most value.
You might be surprised where Costco ranked on this list, given that you have to pay for a membership to shop there!
Recently, Narcity posted on Facebook and asked, "Which grocery stores in Canada do you think offer the best value for groceries?"
With more than 100 comments and 15 retailers named, it seems like there are quite a few places to get the most bang for your buck.
Here are the top three grocery stores with the best value, according to Canadians:
- Costco
- Walmart
- No Frills
A few Canadian shoppers said Costco offers the best value because of the bulk-sized items.
Someone said Costco has cheaper prices for products that are "really expensive" at other grocery stores in Canada, like Loblaws.
Even though you have to pay for a membership, it's clear that Canadians think Costco still gets you the best value.
"There are many items which are cheaper at Walmart at full price than they are at Save On, Superstore, etc, on sale," another person commented.
After those top stores, Giant Tiger and Food Basics are tied for fourth.
Then, Real Canadian Superstore and FreshCo are tied for fifth as the stores in Canada with the best value for groceries.
Someone told Narcity that FreshCo gets shoppers the most value because of price matching.
These grocery stores were only mentioned a few times as the retailers that offer the best value: T&T, Farm Boy, Shoppers Drug Mart, Foodland, Super C, City Market, Save-On-Foods and Sobeys.
While a lot of Canadians gave specific stores to shop at, some had more general advice.
A few people said any grocery store that price matches gets you the best value.
Others told Narcity that Asian grocery stores in Canada are the best places to shop if you want to get the most value for your groceries.
Some shoppers said you have to go to multiple stores and shop sales if you really want the best value.
