It seems GT hasn't been on the bandwagon of price gouging/fixing. Their food selection is limited compared to a big supermarket but it's worth checking them out for deals and overall better prices.

yup. I used to live right near a GT so would check the weekly flyer and occasionally buy some small groceries from there, say tomatoes or mushrooms, a cucumber, celery, or oatmeal/cereal, junk food like chips if it was cheaper. Now I live far enough away that it's not worth using the gasoline to get there.
Food Basics is less than 2km away so that's my main grocery store.
I buy meat from a local butcher, and bread from local bakery. The quality of both is noticeably higher than grocery stores. Bread is slightly pricier, but many people don't realize but you can freeze bread and take out what you need.
