You may want to check this link and how the comparison is done.
CTV grocery price comparison for July
http://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/RTGAMA...calgary.ctv.ca
Superstore came out on top in CTV Calgary's price comparison of grocery items on Sunday, July 8th, giving shoppers the best buying power for their money.
The price comparison was done by home economist Sylvia Kong as part of an ongoing series on price checks to be aired monthly on CTV.
Once a month, CTV will create a grocery list and compare prices at major Calgary stores.
The prices are a snapshot on the given day.
All coupons and membership programs are included and some chains vary prices from store to store.
