Safeway ripped off Manitobans for far too long when there wasn't much local competition, now they can't compete!

I always refused to shop there. The price difference was so noticeable I couldn't justify it. Only if I was in Grant Park Mall for something else and needed 1 or 2 things.

Yup, definitely worth the 30% more for someone to bag it for you! It's funny I had a friend argue that it's good for old people cuz of parcel pickup... Sobeys will just offer people help that look like they need it, and Superstore will help if you ask. They're humans.

Benefit of being the only grocer in the area. Also it's such a nice small one (with small parking lot) it's a lot "easier" to walk over for a few things.

That's how most of the world shops though. Go to the local shop every couple days to get the freshest produce, baking, etc. – usually on your walk home... Rather than drive out of your way to a mega-grocer with hoards of people to load up for the apocalypse.
