The basket is every dinner all 5 banners can price exactly, costed at each store's own current shelf and sale prices, for 270 servings in total. Recipes any one store cannot price are excluded rather than filled in from another store, so no banner is credited with a price it does not offer. We price one representative store per banner per region, so your nearest location may differ.
Questions about Burnaby grocery prices
Which grocery store is cheapest in Burnaby right now?
Real Canadian Superstore. We priced the same basket of 135 dinners at every Burnaby banner we track using each store's own current prices, and Real Canadian Superstore came out lowest at $6.47 a serving. The same basket is $10.32 a serving at Save-On-Foods, about $38.52 a week apart for five dinners for two.
How is the cheapest store worked out?
We take every dinner recipe that all 5 Burnaby banners can price exactly, cost each one at each store's own shelf and sale prices, and add them up. It is the same basket everywhere, so the comparison is like for like. Recipes that any one store cannot price are left out entirely rather than being filled in with another store's prices.
Does the cheapest grocery store in Burnaby change?
The ranking moves as sales rotate, which is why the basket is repriced every night rather than written once. Discount banners usually lead on regular prices, but a full-service store running a strong week of specials can close most of the gap, and the sale savings column shows which banner is discounting hardest right now.
Are these Burnaby grocery prices exact?
They come from each chain's own online listings for a representative Burnaby-area store, re-checked nightly. Prices and stock vary a little between locations of the same banner, and delivery platforms add their own markup on top of shelf prices.
Cheaper still: shop the week, not the store
No single banner wins every aisle every week. Satiafy plans a week of dinners around whatever is actually on sale near you, prices the list at each of your stores, and fills the cart for you at checkout.
