r/Calgary on Reddit: Does anyone know where to find affordable groceries?
June 23, 2022 -
Groceries in the city are insane right now and I would really appreciate some advice on where I should shop. I’m okay to go outside of the city, but I really want to find anywhere that has deals or anything cheaper!!

I've said this before and it still stands even with the food prices currently No frills will give you the cheapest prices on average if you want to shop at one place and not have to go to 2-3 places to get the absolute best deals on specific items

Check out the Flashfood app! It shows you grocery stores nearby that has food heavily discounted because it’s nearing its best before date. Which doesn’t really matter if you throw meat and bread/buns in the freezer and most dairy is good well past the best before date. The produce isn’t bad either, it’s just not sellable at full price. Usually it’s Superstore. You pick what you want out of what’s available and pay through the app, then pick it up at customer service. Best to check the app in the morning as that’s when they put up the new items for the day.

I’d note that if you value your time, and once you factor in driving costs ($0.50/km is a good rule of thumb), it’s very hard to come out ahead value-wise if you drive anywhere other than the closest grocery store if it’s a drive you wouldn’t be making otherwise.

Don't sleep on some of the non white grocery stores: T&T (Chinese and a few other asian) Mega Sanjha (Punjab and East Indian) Unimarket (Mexican and South/Central American) I usually hit these places up on the weekends when I have to restock some pantry items. There's also some decent European stores here: Italian Centre European Deli The Italian Store Personally I but a lot of vegetables and fruit from DJs Market when it's in season and only go to other grocery stores when I need meat or household supplies. When that's the case it's usually Urban Fare cause it's close or Save On just cause it's same products.

Cheapest grocery stores in Calgary? : r/Calgary
October 4, 2019 - Of the ones you listed it's basically the norm for most people in Calgary (with the additions of Costco and No Frills or Walmart). There are some Asian Places that have cheaper meat. Co-op and Safeway are pricier options usually along with Sobeys, Urban Fare, Save On Foods, etc. ... Hmm, I would suggest looking to some of the super markets in the NE as usually prices are cheaper there I found (I live in the NW but go to NE to buy groceries). Since it's pretty close from Downtown.

Here's a few good rules I had when I lived alone and grocery shopped for myself:
-
If it's not on sale, you don't need it.
-
If you can find a non-brand name version of the same thing, you don't need it.
-
If it tastes bad, but is cheap, you need it.
-
If you don't need it, you don't need it (I'm actually serious about this one. Ask yourself and answer honestly every time you pick something up, "do I absolutely NEED this right now?" I've stopped friends and myself from buying the most ridiculous, money-wasting crap just by doing this)
I don't know what the grocery situation is like downtown since I finished up school and I'm back home and living with my parents again which is the best thing in the world, but you'll be surprised at how much you can save by shopping smart. I was able to spend under $30 on food a week easily and not have to eat like a hobo, which means I actually had a decent and nutritious (to a certain extent) meal every day.
