    I also have serious moral reservations about shopping at Walmart. We’re trying to use Costco when we can, but for small things, we don’t have a reasonable alternative. For the moment, we’re using Walmart when we must just to help discourage Loblaws’ bullshit, but I’d really like literally any other option.

      Where do you live? In BC we have Safeway, save on, some minor stores attached to them, and the occasional whole foods. Some Asian grocery stores too like sungiven

          Few more places to consider if you’re in lower mainland:
          Freshco/Chalo if you have the option over Safeway/IGA (same stuff, cheaper, though produce isn’t always super fresh).

          Langley farm market for produce is great, often good deals and competes with big chains on prices on said produce, meat, not so much other stuff (again limited access depending on where exactly you live unfortunately).

          I’d do Saveon only armed with price matching flyers or I’m after something very specific I can’t find elsewhere. Plus I’m not a huge fan of Jim Patisson or whichever carguy owns it.

          City avenue market is also pretty good for produce and the occasional offers for other stuff.

          Very location specific - if you like a good bread, check out European bakery in Poco, awesome rye that would cost you 3times as much in some “artisan” bakery and still cheaper than semi decent loaf from big chains.
