First hand experience is where you got the comparison from?Originally posted by cjblair
ITried the Co-op that's also near my house. My gf and I were so disgusted we just walked right back out the front door. Inside it looks and smells like a homeless man's nutsack.
Safeway
-U
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!Originally posted by A790

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

trying is the first step towards failure
We did a comparison once where we bought 25 identical items at each store and Safeway come out to $4 more expensive.Originally posted by Tik-Tok

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

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.

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.

you know you are making the right decision if Toma opposes it.
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.
