We have an amazing and diverse country. I highly recommends stretching out and seeing more of it!

For chain grocery stores, there’s only a handful of companies but you likely are familiar with the names they might use locally.
I wish they would open some (or more) in Canada. We don't have any in Alberta and I really miss shopping there.
I compared Aldi and Walmart in my area. They came out about the same. I wonder why that is?
I compared Walmart, Target, the next big brand and the local supermarkets.
Walmart was always mid-level. The only thing that was cheaper were non-groceries.
My local supermarket (WinCo) was the cheapest while still selling quality brands.

Now do canada.... Lack of competition here is killing us
Bring back my Kaiser buns!
Is Aldi truly an affordable/low cost store? I've never seen one before.
More affordable than Walmart, or whatever your local hypermarket is. And with better quality stuff too

It depends on the location. Like any other grocery chain, the prices vary from one store to the next. They have great chocolate bars though.

Best of luck to them. I can't say I was impressed with my single previous visit, but I'll give it another shot if one opens nearby.
I'm not gonna bring a quarter for the cart, though. Fuck that noise.
