This confirms my decision, over a year ago, to not patronize Safeway or
Food for Less. While I was always treated with respect there, I found
their prices, on average, to be high...similar to IGA. When you consider
that Safeway owns many of their suppliers this was unacceptable. So I
switched to a Canadian company, Save-On. Never looked back. Save-On, by
the way, offers 15% off purchases totalling over $100, on the first
Tuesday of every month. Even on that day they STILL accept all their own
coupons, manufacturers coupons and IGA or Safeway coupons, should those
sources ever return to using coupons. On any day, Save-On will match a
flyer price from IGA or Safeway PLUS an ADDITIONAL 10%!. No, noone in my
family works there. Obviously, I am highly pleased with their service.
BTW, you DON'T have to pay for bags there and THEY do the packing, unlike
that hugh barnlike Superstore. Buy gas there and you get a coupon giving
you 4 cents a litre towards your grocery purchase. Can't be beat!!!

Happy Shopper
