A bold proposal from New York’s Zohran Mamdani is sparking interest north of the border. Experts say a Canadian public option is not only possible — it’s long overdue
We have a Co-op with multiple stores in Central Alberta, nothing ever seems cheaper than at other stores. Everyone just goes to Costco for the major grocery trip, Coop just gets business for one-offs and people with mobility issues.
We have co-op in Manitoba as well, and their prices seem close-ish to Sobeys and Safeway. Or at least close enough that it’s not worth travelling further to get to those other stores. (Couldn’t tell you about superstore or Walmart, I refuse to give money to those assholes).
We do a Costco haul every 4-6 weeks, and also go to the co-op at least once a week. Mostly for perishables, and whatever deals they have in their weekly flyer. And for their very good selection of local/Canadian items.
