A fair comparison would have been between No Frills and FreshCo as these are the cheaper sub-brands owned by Loblaws and Sobeys respectively. Loblaws, Sobeys, Longos are all expensive imo and Walmart/Costco is cheaper if you buy them in bulk

[@RajaHindustaniEkNumber]

true - apples to apples. Quite a stupid video, just clickbait

I agree! Loblaws should be compared to Metro or Sobey’s!

[@AttyDG]

Loblaws is freaking expensive . I was waiting for your video 🙂... My fave Peekapoo... The only new immigrant youtuber who doesn't bore audience with immigration videos ...shows real life experiences and keeps us happy ...Sobeys ,Metro and Fortinos are also very high end ...they are very good too.

Freshco,No frills and Real Canadian offer price matching. Basically you use an app called Flipp and if any of the other places have a deal then you just have to just search and show the flyer on the app at the checkout and they will match the pricing for you.If you prefer PC products then Nofrills will have them cheaper.Please try price matching, I am sure you will save a lot!

[@sarjeetpadda2031]

Hey Pooja, Just want to inform you that every banner has a market division and a discount division. Freshco is Sobeys’ discount discount. A fair comparison would have been between Loblaws and Sobeys or No Frills (discount of Loblaws) and Freshco. And the info at the start of the video about bids isn’t correct. I am in the Produce section of Loblaws.

[@salonitandon8358]

If not bidding, then how is it done?

[@benitavivinjohn867]

Hey Pooja, Good on ya, mate. Did you know that although veggies are graded on the basis of their aesthetically pleasing feature. Plenty of food is wasted across the world to keep up with this standard of grading. In fact, there are plenty of docuseries that talk about wastage of food based on this grading system, even when the food quality is not compromised as a result of their shape. A sustainable way to shop for groceries would be to pick even those that don't look picture perfect so that they aren't discarded. You may already be aware of this situation, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention and others reading through as well. Also, mate - this is no hate mail. Just bringing to light something people rarely talk about. Nice video. Have a great day, friend. From across the world, stuck at home with WFH.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare Freshco and Loblaw together because Loblaw is more up scale, try Freshco and No Frills, (No frills is owned by Loblaw but it’s a cheaper version).

This was a really fun video Pooja. I love grocery shopping (Yes I am a man and I am weird that way) as long as it isn't crowded. Although I don't live in Canada it's nice to see videos of the stores there. However it would be better if later on you can do a Sobey's vs Loblaws since those are the main parent brands. Maybe some time down the line. Loving the recent string of videos.

[@kathan13rockx]

Price difference video featuring the difference in prices of fruits and veggies from Loblaws and St Lawrence market, also which has better quality from them😄

[@alur2981]

You quit your full-time job in tech sales to compare groceries (aka onions, capsicum, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, etc) which nobody else could think of in a heartbeat. This is the most hilarious thing one has seen by any content creator. Like seriously duh!

[@akhilpearls]

Well its perspective brother,This video of hers actually helped me solve doubts regarding Costco. Now she wants help people and tell her story though these videos and she is doing a great deal. Mental happiness is something that you will notice only when you miss it. Of you are talking in terms of money, she. Will start making more money from this sooon.

Please return to work. Your videos twice a week is the same as though you were working. God Bless

[@naureen202]

Such a great comparison! When I lived in Downtown, I would go to No Frills at Yonge/Sherbourne and by far that is the cheapest grocery place although the variety is surely limited.

[@sheteg1]

Yonge and sherbourne don’t meet. You mean sherbourne south of bloor. Or parliament and gerrard.

[@UnitedCanuck]

Everytime I go to Loblaws I end up leaving the store empty handed. Food basics is great too and has a lot of ethnic food.

[@tusk3260]

wallmart is actually more expensive then freshco but i think giant tiger and food basics beats freshco in cheap price. Giant tiger sadly is not a very big grocery store and it also sells clothing... Think of it as a mini wallmart but it has everything you'll need to make quite a lot of dishes. They have their own brand called giant value so their quality is both cheap and decent quality tho less choices. Food basics on the other hand is a big boy grocery store it has both lots of choice and the cheapest prices, i mean just look at their name. Ps. Giant tiger has some of craziest deals ever for example once a year they buy a crazy ammount of hotdog saussages and sell them at 0.50$ per 450g with no limit. The cheapest you'll ever see at freshco is 1.49$ for same thing. Sometimes giant tiger has 3$ tourtière (traditional Canadian meat pie) freshco's are usually 10$. Giant tiger also has cheap cheese at 3 or 4 dollars regular price freshco is double that unless its old cheese which they sell at 5$ (500g) but the biggest deal is in spices like seasoned salt (also called as steak spice) for 5$ i got 2 times 440g of it... Any other store will have you pay at least 3$ per 50g. Giant tiger can afford it because its their product: They make it and sell it. If every farmers had their own grocery stores then all retailers including wallmart would go under like target did because you just cant compete with the producers price... Well i guess you could from the producer and resell it at the same price but then you would no longer be a retailer because retailing is buying from the producer and reselling at higher prices. Also because of the way the tax works your products price would get increased regardless. But luckily most producers are either too small or too lazy to have their own stores thats why retailing still works in Canada. Tho many have started to sell online...

[@tarunnavlani]

No frills goes by its name.. its prices are best ..and they do price match with other stores. Quality is comparable to non premium stores like fresco, sobeys, superstore etc

Like the masalas, dals, vegetables etc. Thank you .👍

I felt really impressed after seeing the difference...make some tim hortons vs starbucks

[@tusk3260]

thats not a fair comparison: Loblaws sells quality items while freshco sells only the cheap stuff. A fair comparison would be Loblaws vs wallmart, Metro or Farmboy or Jean Coutu. And Freshco should be compared other cheap stores like Food Basics, Dolarama or Giant Tiger. By the way, farmboy is the only store that beats loblaws in quality

When I was at Kingston, for us Indian students Freshco was our go-to, however when I moved to Toronto, the love for Loblaws & their bakery section was born 🥰 Also, Can’t agree more! I can literally spend hours at the grocery stores, it’s like therapy 😃

Regarding ethnic food selections These large grocery stores don't carry a standard in terms of ethnic food. They cater to the consumers around them. For a short but blessed period of time my Loblaws carried Jamaican Yams which are really yummy and phenomenal in stew. Sadly they look like tree branches and I was probably the only person buying them so they they soon stopped carrying them :(. This is essentially the process at any but the smallest branches of these super markets go through. They try out lots of different things in their store and if it turns out that the locals really like something then they keep stocking it. If they can't move it they try something else. This process can lead to some unusual mixes in Toronto. One of my local groceries is really good for Greek and South East Asian foods - but you would be hard pressed to find anything from say India. This presumably reflects the demographic of the customers that live closest to it.

So right Pooja...we also did our grocery from Safeway when we didn't have the car..its much more expensive than Walmart....but even now we hardly go to Costco as it's for a big size family ..so what you do is perfect to save time and energy...love all your videos though sometimes I just don't get time to appreciate them ...just doing great 👍

[@Sunnysharma-tf7ir]

Hi Pooja! Your video editing is indeed getting better, however you are really becoming “creatively bankrupt” - you really gotta do something different as I am sorry to say, your content is becoming tad too boring. I mean it’s nice to be part of your life, but you can’t keep showing the same - the downtown, your condo, your food, your coffee, the shopping. Now that you are into this full time, sky should be the limit for you. Don’t disappoint, people can only appreciate mediocrity for a while.

Hey Pooja!!! first of all GREAT IMPROVEMENT in your editing skills.. kudos for that..!!!👍👍 one suggestion , if you are willing to save some quick bucks on ur grocery, there is a Wall Mart pickup point in the same street(93 Peter Street) as CityMarket Place.. it goes by the name Penguin Pickup!! It's a pickup point for both Wallmart & Ikea! I generally order online on wallmart app & it gets delivered the next day.. Hope it helps♥️♥️

Walmart has home delivery for just 8 dollars these days n pick up for free n if they substitute, only if u allow them ....the difference in charge is not charged.. everything delivered is fresh..n for bananas etc.u can specify if u don't want over ripened ..They have Indian n great variety of other international food items ..In Love with Walmart ❤️
