How We Rank Ottawa Grocery Stores

Week of October 26, 2026: FreshCo offers the best overall unit value across 20 common grocery items in Ottawa, compared across 8 stores. Prices updated October 30, 2026.

Every week, HuntPrice compares real shelf prices across 8 Ottawa grocery stores using a standardized basket of 25 everyday items spanning Dairy & Eggs, Meat & Seafood, Produce, Bakery, Pantry, and Beverages. Each item is matched to its best unit-value option (price per 100g) at each store. Only items carried by all qualifying stores are included in the comparison, ensuring a fair apples-to-apples ranking. The store with the lowest combined unit-value score wins.

Prices are sourced from public flyer and online grocery data. Individual item availability may vary by location. Stores must carry at least 60% of the basket items to qualify. This ranking reflects unit value for the specific basket above and may not represent all shopping patterns.
