We compared the new Costco flyer to Loblaws, Walmart and Sobeys flyers to find the best deals
The new flyer at Costco has so many discounted products, but are the deals better than what you can get with flyers at grocery stores in Canada?
Well, we compared it to this week's flyers at Loblaws, Walmart and Sobeys to find out.
Costco's flyer has deals available until February 1 or February 15, while grocery store flyers have savings available until January 28.
We looked through all the flyers to see what Costco, Loblaws, Walmart and Sobeys have on sale right now.
Then, we selected more than a dozen items to compare prices and find the best deals.
If the same products weren't available at these stores, we selected similar items from different brands.
We also broke down the price of the item by how much you get because Costco products are often bigger than grocery store items.
Now, here are the price comparisons for 16 products that are on sale with Costco, Loblaws, Walmart and Sobeys flyers right now.
