It's all about when you go, I suppose. My family and I go at times when it is less busy and I honestly do not notice any meaningful difference between Superstore and any of the other supermarkets, aside from the price.
At this point, I can't imagine shopping elsewhere. I think it would be generous (to Safeway, Co-Op and the like) to say that you pay 10% more for your groceries at those stores. My family spends about $10,000 a year on groceries. That would mean I would have to expect to spend at least $1000 a year extra on groceries if I shopped elsewhere.
To me, the math became very clear when I changed the scenario like this: if groceries were equal in price at all stores, but you had to pay a $1000 annual fee to shop at any of the more expensive supermarkets, would I pay the fee for the experience? Absolutely not.
