Yes these are crappy food items but they are things that people buy and once I chose I have to stick to it.

Here are the basic finding from the three samples

As well I did look at a few fresh items



Walmart Mumford

Sobeys Mumford

SuperStore Young

Bananas .77 .79 .59 Zucchini 1.47 1.99 1.49 Eggplant 1.27 1.69 2.49 Plums 2.99 3.99 3.99 Peaches 1.97 3.99 1.99 Bnls/Sknls Chicken Breasts 4.99 10.99 3.99 Haddock Fillets 9.97 6.99 6.99 Basket Total: (1 of each) $27.22 $34.12 $25.22

In this instance SuperStore came in first if I bought a pound of each, but based on their chicken being the weekly special, their regular price is more inline with Sobeys. I chose the highest price for WalMart chicken as they sell in $10 packs which ranged from .9 to 1.055kg

In short all three tests over the last 2 years shows that Sobeys is more, I’ll personally continue at SuperStore because more variety in fresh goods.

I will come back to this concept in the fall but I will factor in the little guys like Dave’s, Chops, Gateway, Avery’s, The Carrot etc.
