We went to three grocery stores to find out which one offers the cheapest prices for some of the most essential items.
CTV News Toronto went to three grocery stores with a list of essential items in hand to find out which one offers the cheapest prices.
We visited No Frills, Food Basics, and Sobeys in Toronto to compare the cost of bread, bananas, milk, eggs, butter, chicken breast, cheese, spaghetti, peanut butter, and tuna.
Here’s what we found:
A white loaf of bread (675g) was the first item on the grocery list. No Frills set the bar high with a low price on their No Name white loaf of bread, tagged with an “in-store feature” label totalling $1.99.
Food Basics and Sobeys offered significantly higher, and comparable, prices. A white Dempster loaf at Food Basics costs $3.39 (or, two loaves for $6), as part of a “locked down” price at the grocer.
Sobeys’ identical Dempster loaf costs $3 (or, two loaves for $6) but the sale item ends on Wednesday, which will hike the cost up $1.19.
No Frills - $1.99
