First hand experience is where you got the comparison from?

Safeway

[Swank]

IGA which I guess is Sobey's. My main one used to be Co-op but when I moved the only grocery store in the vicinity is IGA. For me, convenience and short line ups trump saving ~$20/month

We shop at Safeway whenever one of the vehicles needs gas. If you spend $210.01 you get $0.20/L off. Gas is low now, but it was sure nice when it was $1.29 for premium lol.

Holy shit I need to do this, it means their gas is 52.9. It's 1996! Whoo!

But the same stuff at Co-op would have cost you $185

1) Superstore
2) T&T
3) Costco

We try to limit our Costco trips because every time we go it's like at least two bills.

We did a comparison once where we bought 25 identical items at each store and Safeway come out to $4 more expensive.

First time I ever heard anyone say that Co-op is cheaper than Safeway.

[HiTempguy1]

Why the f*&k do so many people shop at Safeway?

Yes, their produce and meat is pretty good, but their prices for everything else (processed or no-expiration food) is obscene.

Beyond truly is full of ballers

It all depends on what you buy regularly, but using CTV Calgary's "grocery basket", in the past 13 months

Co-op = $1837.92
Safeway = $1900.16
Sobey's = $1798.98
Superstore = $1702.09

(but we also get over $100 cheque every year from Co-op though) I'd probably shop at Sobey's if there were one anywhere close to us.

[Go4Long]

before my wife I was all about Safeway, partially because I love their steaks, and partially because you could earn like 600 airmiles in a trip no problem :P.
She has really been on a getting her groceries at Wal Mart Kick, but we live in Didsbury, so the local grocery store is A&G foods, which has some good sales, but if people think safeway is expensive for normal priced stuff...lol.

[wintonyk]

my grocery shopping is almost always based on proximity. in killarney the 3 closest grocery stores are all safeways. walmart i guess too, but anything fresh there is garbage.
