In shops like Walmart, Safeway, Safe on Foods, etc etc it is all the same. Groceries are expensive, does not matter where you live.

It's not the same. I often find shops such as Hmart and No frills cheaper price than its competitors such as Urban Fare and T&T.

You will need to check the daily flyers to see the differences.

Well, I have never been to these places..Still, groceries in Canada are more expensive than in Europe.

find if you can qualify for one of those non-profit grocery stores. I know about 4 in Metro Vancouver (Quest). They issue you a card if referred to by an organization/referral agency. Your local library may have information about low cost grocery options.

Thanks a lot, but will most probably not qualify due to my income..

To compare prices :

Nofrills.ca - find a store - Ottawa

Maxi.ca - find a store - Gatineau

(Note that Maxi & No Frills are the same store, just different name because ... Quebec).

You could do the same using Loblaw, IGA, Walmart, etc, etc...
