Hey everyone! Thanks for popping by to see what my research has discovered about great prices on groceries this week in Calgary. Obviously, our prices have gone up dramatically like they have everywhere – but one good thing about living in a city (population of Calgary is currently around 1.7 million people) is that there are lots of stores, and therefore more competition! And competition is a good thing when it comes to snagging some better bargains.
