The names on the outside are different, but most grocery stores are owned by the same companies — yet CTV News shopped around and found they charge significantly different prices for the same items.

    Never heard of that where I am, sounds pretty cool.

    Do they have any restrictions preventing “well-off” looking individuals from shopping for the cheaper items, or possibly are these cheaper items a different brand with the same thing lower priced?

        You are so ignorant to so many things in that statement.
