No Frills
Unique by its bright yellow color scheme–the budget chain has the cheapest prices of all franchises, and there are significant savings in many items. It’s fresh food choices may not be deemed as good quality as competitors, but there’s a clear gap in the till. No Frills doesn’t have that many outlets as other large supermarkets.

Costco

There are many in the Greater Toronto Area, and while one of the biggest problems with Costco is that it can be very difficult to buy there without a vehicle, the company is investigating options to launch a home delivery business in Canada after it has been successfully launched in the US. Membership rates range from $60 to $120 a year.
