I stopped in a Co-op yesterday (Richmond Rd. location) just to check out the prices and grab a few things, and altogether the pricing is "high end". Everything I happened to look at was 10-25% higher than the nearby Safeways in Westhills and Glamorgan.
I don't want to support the Sobeys/Empire... empire... but god-damn, Calgary Co-op makes it tough to shop there on pricing alone. And given they get the food from Save-on/Pattison anyway... feels like no incentive to shop there to "support local" anyway.
