Interesting fact - apples you buy in the store were picked the previous fall and and sit for almost a year in cold storage. Some use chemicals to help and others lower the oxygen level to halt the ripening process. That’s why fresh apples (from your backyard tree) rot so quickly, but store bought ones are fine.

Superstore is alright, particularly if you need more than just groceries (all the ones I've been to have a housewares and electronics section, and a fairly large beauty-toiletries section), and you're strapped for cash (ain't no party like a No Name party), but like others have said, the produce is consistently sub par, mostly by virtue of how it isn't rotated very often, so you usually get ...

Start by taking a look at your recent grocery receipts or credit card statements to see how much you’ve been spending on groceries. Compare the lower cost trips to the higher ones, take note of which items could be classified as “wants” and “needs” and which ones you buy most often and spend the most on. You can also get an idea of an average groce...
Look for discount stickers on meat, bread and baked goods that will go past their best before datein the next day or so. You can eat some right away and freeze the rest. The bread and baked goods are typically found on a multi-tier wire rack next to the bread section and the meat will often have a bright yellow/red XX% OFF sticker on it.

The unit price tells you how much a product costs per “unit”, such as per 100 grams (g) or 100 millilitres (mL). Unit prices make it easier to compare the prices of similar products from different brands in different size containers and help you determine which is a better deal. It is the best way to identify shrinkflation, where manufacturers incr...
Now, just because an item is on sale, doesn’t mean it’s actually a good deal. Grocery Trackertracks the price histories of items (total price and unit price) at your local grocery stores including NoFrills, Loblaws, Sobeys/Safeway and Walmart to help you determine if a sale really is the best deal in town in the last 30 to 90 days. This is somethin...
Meal plan based on what’s on sale and cheap at the grocery store first and then plan meals for the week or month after based around those items, rather than the other way around. It’s not the easiest way to meal plan, but it is the cheapest. Planning out what you’ll make also helps cut down on impulse purchases and spontaneous takeout. When the ine...

Writing out a completed grocery shopping list based on what you already have, what you still need to buy and what’s on sale and then sticking to it will help you buy only what you need and avoid impulse purchases. To make it easier on yourself and help form a habit, start with planning one or two dinners per week, make enough for leftovers so that ...
Shopping when you’re hungry – such as after you’ve skipped breakfast or before lunch or dinner – makes all food seem more appealing, but especially junk food like chips, candy and pop. Studies say hungry shoppers prefer higher calorie food products and increases the desire of “getting stuff” in general, including non-food items and impulsive consum...
Walmart, NoFrills, FreshCo and Food Basics are considered to be the cheapest grocery stores in Canada and Costco beats them for certain items – particularly when they’re on sale and because they’re sold in bulk. If you’re in Ontario, add The Grocery Outletto the list. They offer (mostly) the same items as their full service counterparts (e.g. Lobla...
Many lauded the eight grocery retailers that publicly declared back in January 2019 that they would cut their food waste in half in six years. And they were right to. Food waste is one of the leading causes of global warming, with between 8 and 10% global greenhouse gas emissions created as a direct result of lost and wasted food, of which – in Canada – the retail industry is responsible ...
