I suspect there are supply chain issues that may be specific to Ottawa as there is only one store in Eastern Ontario and 2 in the GTA.. Closest US stores are probably Detroit area. Milk comes from the Waterloo area, for example.

I find with the store I occasionally go to in Burnaby, the prices can be decent for some items but sky-high for others. The hot buffet is a huge ripoff, and they don’t even have a scale nearby to weigh the food. You can find a digital scale hidden at the other end of the store, in the produce area.
