maybe hard for some region or if your next store is another 20km away. I think those store probably rip off their local customer most.
Yeah, I live in a small town/city of 40k and there's 4 Loblaws stores and one save on, and save on is considerably more expensive than any of the other options so it's either give Loblaws money or stretch an already limited budget to give even more money to a different company. Lose - lose for me. There's a Wal mart but they have 4 shitty aisles of packaged food a pathetic selection of food so they don't count for groceries up here for the most part.
I don't know if it's possible but if you have some local resident that can band together and buy fresh product directly from the farmers? or do a group buy for common household supplies that should be cheaper with bulk order(ie, a costco account that helps to buy stuff for 10 household and everyone shares the cost) . I know it would replace all the purchase required, but in less competition area, at least you would have some form of "competition" from your own independent source.
