The basket is every dinner all 4 banners can price exactly, costed at each store's own current shelf and sale prices, for 426 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 West Vancouver grocery prices

Which grocery store is cheapest in West Vancouver right now?
Safeway. We priced the same basket of 213 dinners at every West Vancouver banner we track using each store's own current prices, and Safeway came out lowest at $8.46 a serving. The same basket is $9.69 a serving at Fresh St. Market, about $12.32 a week apart for five dinners for two.
How do you work out which West Vancouver store is cheapest?
We take every dinner recipe that all 4 West Vancouver 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 West Vancouver change week to week?
The ranking moves as sales rotate, which is why the basket is repriced every day 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.
Which West Vancouver store has the best grocery prices?
Over a whole basket, Safeway. But no single banner wins every aisle, and the gap on any one item is often small. The table above ranks by the total for the same set of dinners, which is the number that actually decides your bill, rather than by who advertises the loudest.
Which West Vancouver store has the most promotions right now?
That changes weekly with the flyer cycle, and it is not the same question as which store is cheapest overall: a banner with high regular prices can run the deepest promotions and still cost more for the week. The sale savings column above shows what each store's current promotions are worth against the same basket.
Are these West Vancouver grocery prices exact?
They come from each chain's own online listings for a representative West Vancouver-area store, re-checked daily. Prices and stock vary a little between locations of the same banner, and delivery platforms add their own markup on top of shelf prices.

Better 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.
