I rarely will buy anything unless it's on sale, or has some pretty good miles attached to it. To add to that, I simply like shopping there compared to anywhere else. I find their service mostly good, stores clean and orderly, good selection, and if you pick the right times, not too crowded. In my experience it's tough too find all of that at Superstore. Plus I think bagging my own groceries is a royal pain in the ass. I'd gladly pay a little more not too have that if it came right down to it.
I digress. Hope to keep this away from what store is better, and more what you're spending

Unless you live on the westside of Lethbridge which only has 1 safeway for the entire west side. Their prices are ridiculous!
We spend about 350-400 per month for two of us but lots of fresh veggies and fruits all the time. We try to stay away from the frozen stuff and prepackaged stuff.
