Lia, when you talk about prices in the Canadian supermarket. You have to remember, when you say you pay 2£ in England for oat milk. You are comparing that to Canadian dollars in Canadian supermarkets. So you are comparing 2£ Oat milk to their $5 oat milk, which converted is $3.40. Yes it’s more expensive but not as expensive as you made it out to be.
As a Brit myself, I can confirm this is absolutely typical. Travel halfway round the globe and scour supermarkets for only items from the UK. Travel to France and only go to restaurants where you can order beans on toast. 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! I wasn't going to say it, but that is soooo true. Brits make a dash for imported supermarket foods from back home and are horrified (and thrilled) to find they are cheaper back home! I'll bet there are ex-pats who have been here for some time who are still convinced a pint of beer costs 50 pee back home! Also comparing temperatures daily and being thrilled when it is colder in Toronto than back home! :D
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed visiting supermarkets when I travel. I've been to Metro in Quebec. Thanks for the entertaining tour of Farm Boy. You always make me laugh with your wit and humor!
I always go to supermarkets or open air markets when I travel. It's a good way to get a literal taste of the country you are in. Farmers markets and roadside stands are great as well.
The Canadian equivalent of Walmart would be ..... Walmart. Metro is a mainstream Canadian supermarket, similar to Loblaws. Farm Boy is only found in Ontario (so far) and is quite upscale.
I love finding a good supermarket! Farm Boy is a chain that is owned by Sobeys which owns a number of other chains. Another supermarket that is fabulous is Super Store/ Fortinos. Their ready to go meals are fantastic. Pretty much all supermarkets are more expensive in Toronto than anywhere else in Ontario!!
Wrong Joel, We do have Yorkshire tea in the US, it is in the international aisles of most grocery stores and btw most sodas have corn syrup in them including diet sodas.
Actually corn syrup in Canadian soft drinks is a relatively new phenomenon. Sugar traditionally is Canada is made from Caribbean sugar cane, free trade with the US resulted in that crap being shipped from down there. Also British teas in Canada aren't usually in the intl aisle, just in the tea aisle (most popular black teas are probably Tetley, Yorkshire, Red Rose (formerly a Brooke Bond brand) and Ty-Phoo).
@@mileitman To correct the correcting Mary, we have Yorkshire tea in our regular tea aisle as well. Not sure where Mary is from, but Yorkshire tea is not considered exotic or international in our supermarkets (Chicago area).
@@AndySaputo agreed, I'm in Utah and I've been buying Yorkshire and PG tips at the local grocery for over 25 years with no need to find the specialty aisle.
To be fair though, those cucumbers were actually organic. In the UK, an organic cucumber is going to be a bit more than 50p - more like a pound (CA$1.70). But even so, still a lot cheaper than the CA$2.99 in that shop
A whole long English cucumber at Waitrose is £1.45 ($2.50 Canadian). Cucumbers are just one food item; you have to do a complete shopping to really compare prices.
The Big 3 supermarket chains are Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro. They each run a low end chain, No Frills, Price Chopper, and Food Basics respectively. There are niche chains like Farm Boy, Pusateri, Llongos, and from the US there's Whole Foods. There's also T&T which is an Asian supermarket chain. I might have missed some but those are the main chains. Toronto has some Food Halls on top of that. Saks is the most high end one. In Western Canada they have Safeway but that's owned by Sobeys.
Farm Boy is a chain and most commonly likened to Trader Joe’s in the states. While, Metro is like publix. It is certainly boogie compared to others and is extremely popular in Canada. Most of the items you considered expensive were imported. Glad you liked it! #farmboy
I lived there when I went to school on the island, it uses to be a Sobeys. You gotta check out Nations supermarket on st clair west. Has an arcade , lots of hot food and decent prices
Cheers from the Jersey Shore! Salt Water Taffy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey. A man who owned a candy shop on the famous Atlantic City boardwalk wanted to cool a batch of taffy he just made, so he put the trays outside in front of the shop. But the wind blew up and the ocean waves sprayed the candy with salt water. So, therefore, the name. It’s not salty, but very sweet. My favorite flavors are banana, mint or good old vanilla.
In Western Canada, we have Loblaws chain supermarkets & The Real Canadian Superstore (very similar to Walmart but also with a liquor store attached to the inside of the store)
I'm in Calgary. Here, many stores have a buffet section - Safeway, Co-op, T & T which is an Asian market chain here in the West. Others like Superstore, Sobeys and SaveOn Foods have deli sections with prepared meals.

Well I am Canadian and I've never heard of the Farm Boy grocery store/supermarket chain before. But from first impressions it looks awesome!. I actually work at a ThriftyFoods store which is a chain here in British Columbia (B.C.). Specifically on Vancouver Island. Other popular store chains here are Quality Foods, SaveOnFoods, Superstore, SafeWay, Red Barn, Whole Foods. Just some I can think of.
Thrifty's is so darn good! There're a half dozen around Vancouver and NorthVan. Good for your comment. Now, if J&L can ever get away from the East and the US, they could try them.eh?
Farm Boy started in Cornwall, Ontario, and then became very popular in Ottawa. There is one in my neighbourhood. About 2 years ago, Farm Boy was bought out by Sobey's with the intent of expanding it at least across Ontario. It is more high end than most supermarkets with an emphasis on fresh foods.
You don't have to lift and move your mask away when you're talking! 😅 We can hear you just the same (Plus, you shouldn't... especially if you're talking)
#BarbaraKiewe Ah huh yes indeed I see your point. Oh well a tiny error. There's more important things in life than nit-picking someone else's grammar. I was only giving some clarification from another perspective. But you did read my comment so I'm assuming that you would've understood that already. Have a great day😊👍.
In Canada you'll find English cucumbers for under 50p in summer. This time of year they are either expensive hothouse-grown or imported from the States or Mexico.
My ex (20 years ago) would no satisfy herself with anything less than English cucumber (or latin loins....she had standards). Luckily I was out when the latin gas man came....and the latin electrician.....framer....concrete guy......getting the pattern?
We don't have those farm boy stores down here in Halifax Nova Scotia but from what I understand the easiest way to describe farm boy would be Toronto/Ontario version of wholefoods. Your basically right it's a bushy shop.
Great video. One thing with Canada is it’s size just think of how many countries you would cross in the same distance in Europe. Then think of how different each country is. We have some things Nation wide ( Tim’s ) and some very special local things. Come to Nova Scotia.
@@alyssaalderson2386 Love Publix, mine here in Nc has a pretty large British/ international section. Pretty sure I clean them out of their Terry’s chocolate orange regularly 😂
You should see stew Leonard’s in the northeast of America. The worlds largest dairy supermarket. They have so much food of all variety’s too. There is one in Connecticut, NY and Paramus NJ.
@@patricebetts6531 I LOVE Barry's tea (and other Irish teas for that matter). The thing about tea as far as I can see is the strength depends on how much tea is in the bag, and Barry's has a lot of tea in the bag!

Trader Joe's has sold vegetable wash for decades. I use it on all fruit & veggies regardless of whether they are organic or not, especially if they are not.
Asking for Canadian Bacon in Canada is liking going to Beijing and asking for Chinese food. Actually, what Americans call Canadian Bacon is almost identical to what Canadians sell as Virginia Ham in some forms. (Not all forms, lest the comments get ugly).
That's a fairly posh/upscale grocery, hence the premium prices. Trust me, they aren't all that expensive. Prices in Canada are a bit high compared to America, but they're not consistently THAT high. If you want something more ordinary in Ontario, check out a Freshmart or something. OTOH, a normal grocery or especially a discount grocery might not necessarily have all those weird "milk but not made out of milk" products. The people who buy that stuff, tend to have more money than average (unless they have a legit allergy or other food sensitivity disorder, but that's nowhere near common enough to support the level of stock you're seeing in that store; and people who are merely a bit lactose intollerant, can just take the lactase pills before meals; I think you can get them at WalMart in bottles of a thousand).
I was shocked that most Almond Milk is only 2% almonds. I looked at the label ingredients and was surprised what it was made of. I'm not lactose intolerant so I prefer real milk.
I recently moved to Canada from the UK and have been searching for good barista milk, I hadn’t tried farm boy, there are a tone of supermarkets here but omfg I’m so happy there’s oatly, don’t care about the price, literally heading there tomorrow! Thanks guys!!
Try Earth's Own Barista Oat Milk for coffee. We use that and it foams pretty well, and every once in a while they're on sale at Metro. The Earth's Own regular Oat Milk is more cost-effective for regular drinking.
Farm Boy is an Ontario chain owned by Empire Stores. West of Ontario, they have Freshco, a discount grocery chain. But their main, national chains are Sobey's and Safeway, and their Needs convenience store chain. Metro Stores operates in Ontario and Quebec, and their discount brand is Food Basics. There is also Alberta based Loblaw's, with Real Canadian Superstore,, No Frills, and Shopper's Drug Mart. MacDonald Consolidated (formerly owned by Safeway) has their Family Foods chain. Save On Foods and London Drugs are chains based in BC, and, of course, Walmart and Costco are here, too. There's also the Co-op system, based in Saskatchewan. Canadian prices are generally higher than their US counterparts, especially dairy, poultry, and eggs, due to our supply management system, and the general currency exchange rate.
We bought some Yorkshire Gold recently and quite liked it. Our everyday brand is King Cole Orange Pekoe, an East-Coast brand from Nova Scotia and quite flavourful, available at Sobey’s so probably there also. If I’d been there I’d have told you to look for two quintessential Canadian desserts, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars.
I live and grew up in Toronto, and honestly, I’ve never heard of Farmboy Supermarket. Metro, Loblaws, FreshCo, No Frills, Sobey’s…Those are some of the ones I know.
@@rich7447 You’ve never felt so bad for an individual, because I’ve never heard of Farmboy? I don’t need you to feel sorry for me. I’m doing just fine, thanks.
Farm Boy is relatively new to Toronto. I had only seen them in Ottawa (nation’s capital) before. Any grocery store in downtown Toronto will be more expensive due to high rent. All those new condo owners don’t have much choice in local shopping and they have to pay the price. I do like Farm Boys selection of ready made meals as a treat.
We have a lot of options in Toronto, including less expensive options like Food Basics, but I think the best options price-wise are the little markets (ie, grocers in Chinatown), farmer’s markets that set up a few days a week, plus St Lawrence market, of course. Farm Boy is the Sobey’s brand equivalent of Whole Foods. Also have tonnes of Longos, Sobey’s, Metro, Loblaws, Superstores, Rabba’s, one off green grocers or food specific shops. I think the perception of not many options comes from many of the downtown options being in the underground path or blend in with the condo building they are in. That particular Farm Boy is directly on the water, surrounded by condos that go for literally 2 to 3.5 million, in a high tourist area. Super expensive area. Individual prices…that $12.99 salad is comparable to getting a similar salad in a restaurant. You’re paying for the variety of ingredients in it, the labour to produce it, plus convenience. It’s easy to eat healthy at a low price, if you buy your produce at a farmer’s market and make it yourself, for example. The cucumber was organic, which is always more expensive. And pricey brand store.
From what I heard from a couple I follow that moved to Canada from the UK is that the usual tea you guys get everywhere over there is called orange pekoe tea over here.
I have never seen a $3 cucumber here in Toronto, usually the veg store sells them 2 for $1 to 2 for $1.25 depending on how fresh they are, though the best ones can go as high as a dollar each. At the supermarket, though, I've paid as much as $1.29.....
Wow... after seeing the prices further around the store -- I really don't want to go to Farm Boy unless I need something * really * special that only they sell - there's no point paying an extra $50 for each grocery run, just because...
The English cucumber is more expensive than the non English ones. Plus, they’re out of season at the moment, otherwise the non English cucumbers can be purchased for around 50 cents in the US.
They could've checked out Costco while in Toronto. There's probably at least a dozen stores of theirs. Buy, I think they were trying to get to a store that was accessible by foot.
Where have you gotten the idea that people in Canada don't eat salads or vegetables?! It's so odd to me that you've gotten that impression when travelling (Europe, East Asia, USA) I have a much harder time finding vegetable meals than I ever do almost anywhere in Canada!
I buy ingredients and make a salad at home. Wash all the veggies/lettuce and prepare it. Buying a pre-made salad in a plastic clamshell is fine for when you are travelling, but kind of lazy when you live here!
English cucumber at no frills is .99 cents. Canadian bacon is actually called Peameal bacon which is pork loin covered by cornmeal. You can’t compare prices when you are going to an overpriced grocery store. Sorry guys.
Farm Boy would be deemed upmarket. Then you add the premium of being located in the downtown area. We "cherry pick" when shopping at our local Farm Boy.
So much produce in America is very expensive. Eating healthy is ridiculously expensive. Lia hit the nail on the head with that. There has been a recent movement since the panny-d to encourage people to grow their own produce. Gardening has really ticked up the last two years.
Produce is super cheap in my state at the farmers markets. Less than half the price of the food stores. 5 lemons for $1, 3 avocados for a $1, mushrooms $1 a lb, and so on.
Agreed ... I get organic to try to minimize exposure to pesticides but it's quite pricey. For example, I just went to Whole Foods and organic cucumbers were $1.49/each and 2 organic honeycrisp apples came out to about $3 for the pair
@SalNova15 Where I live we have only Walmart and Safeway. I went did this week's shopping at Walmart this morning. Avocados $1.89 each; 8 oz of spinach $5; 8 oz of kale $5; small lemons $0.89 each; tomatoes $1.59/lb; sweet yellow onions $1.29/lb; whole crimini mushrooms $3.79 for an 8 oz package; celery $1.99/lb; carrots $1.79/lb; zucchini (courgettes) $1.59/lb; parsley $0.99 per bunch; honeycrisp apples $4.99/lb; bananas $1.29/lb; whole grain bread $4.99 per loaf; sliced swiss cheese $7.49/lb; deli turkey breast $10.99/lb; non-organic just plain large eggs $2.29/dozen; 1 lb unsalted butter $4.49; 32 oz Greek style yogurt $5.49; grass-fed beef meatballs $9.99/lb (frozen; approximately 20 per package); frozen prawns (shrimp) $13.99/lb; salmon filet $17.99/lb; boneless, skinless chicken breast $8.99/lb. And this is Walmart. And I only bought enough for one person for a week. Food prices keep going up and up and apparently aren't going to come back down. I'm privileged enough to have space to grow my own food in spring and summer, but now it's too cold to grow much of anything. We already have temperatures well below freezing every night, so I've no choice but to buy it in the shops.
Are you in Western Canada or the Maritimes? Metro is Quebec and Ontario, and Farm Boy is Ontario only. We don't have Safeway here in Ontario like they do in Western Canada.
Why cant we take a leaf out of Canadas book. Love how u walk in to a load of fruit an veg looks so nice and especially with 99.99% of it plastic free or even no packaging. Apart from the pineapple that is just ridiculous like buy it and cut the skin off. I walk into my local supermarket and faced with horrible looking old ish fruit an veg all wrapped in plastic. Like it puts me off buying fruit an veg.
Note, the Canadian dollar is worth less than the US, and much less than the British Pound, so you can't compare prices in Canadian dollars directly to US dollars.
@@terryomalley1974 I don’t know about up there, but there are a lot more people who shop at Whole Foods in the US than live in multi-million dollar condos! Maybe not the same folks who regularly shop at Wal-Mart, though!
Can someone comment on Colman's Mustard? It is readily available here in California. Instead of deciding what I will put on my sandwich I must decide what I will put my Colman's on.
I'm from NYC but have worked in Toronto and London and travelled around the world and I can tell you that the UK has WAY better grocery stores and markets than anywhere I've been except Japan and maybe France. NYC is terrible for groceries and markets. It's a bit surprising because the UK isn't world renowned for having amazing cuisine yet the grocery quality, markets, and variety is so good. Even the restaurant variety and quality are better in London than probably anywhere I've been to except Tokyo or Paris. NYC has some good restaurants but still not as good as London.
Compared to where, though? Supermarket foods are pretty expensive in most Western industrialised nations. If you live downtown in Toronto you can shop Chinatown for much cheaper and usually much fresher produce. Much cheaper.
I hope your Canadian journeys aren't confined to Eastern Canada, because you you might enjoy certain aspects of Western Canadian culture you might otherwise dismiss as foul in Britain. Yes, I'm writing about the perogy that's not common place in Eastern Canada, but is here by virtue of a significant Slavic immigration on the Prairies. Canadian bacon, if you wondeed, is back bacon., and accompanies perogies especially well, along with other pork products. Rather than boiling them traditional style, use the Canadian pan fry method instead. Also note that you must thaw froxen store bought perogies first before frying. In the pan saute butter, bacon bits and minced onion before frying the perogies. Cool qnd tell til browned on both sides. Yum, but avoid the sour cream traditionally accompanying it if you wanna eat more healthy. Tney go well with breakfast or supper.
The equivalent of Walmart in Canada, is Walmart! LOL...They have Walmart there. You can get english cucumbers in the US for cheap at Sam's Club (Walmart whole store). I don't like the English cucumbers as much as the regular US ones. They are not as flavorful.
@@wjdietrich Calm down Mary! I mean that the English cucumbers are different than the ones in the US. I didn't say the US invented them. Someone always gotta be triggered.
Not really Canadian bacon is taken from just above where a ham is cut from a pig. It's then rolled in peamal so it is usually gets called peamal Bacon here in Canada. It's also sliced thicker than it is in other places that call thin slices of ham Canadian bacon.
Not really fair to compare this downtown chic foofy store to a corner Aldi or Lidl, which are the cheapest shops in UK. Go to Dollarama or Giant Tiger in Canada to get a fair comparison.

Farm Boy started in Cornwall, Ontario, and then became very popular in Ottawa. There is one in my neighbourhood. About 2 years ago, Farm Boy was bought out by Sobey's with the intent of expanding it at least across Ontario. It is more high end than most supermarkets with an emphasis on fresh foods.
We do actually have Yorkshire tea in some international sections in stores.
You said it when you first walked Bougie...vegetables are probably considered organic..go to a no frills and fresco find English cukes for 50p
You don't have to lift and move your mask away when you're talking! 😅 We can hear you just the same (Plus, you shouldn't... especially if you're talking)
Canadian equivalent to Wal Mart used to be Canadian Tire. Now they have Wal Mart as well.
Well actually Canada has both Canadian Tire and Walmart. I would say Canadian Tire is more of a mix between Walmart and Target.
@@mh.blue_swish25 "Well actually Canada has both" That's what "as well" means.
Under "used to be" I'd file Zellers, Woolco and Woolworth's
Walmart has been in Canada for decades - 30 years?
#BarbaraKiewe Ah huh yes indeed I see your point. Oh well a tiny error. There's more important things in life than nit-picking someone else's grammar. I was only giving some clarification from another perspective. But you did read my comment so I'm assuming that you would've understood that already. Have a great day😊👍.
In the US the English cucumber is generally overpriced as well but you can buy the non English cucumbers for like 50 cents.
In Canada you'll find English cucumbers for under 50p in summer. This time of year they are either expensive hothouse-grown or imported from the States or Mexico.
My ex (20 years ago) would no satisfy herself with anything less than English cucumber (or latin loins....she had standards). Luckily I was out when the latin gas man came....and the latin electrician.....framer....concrete guy......getting the pattern?

We don't have those farm boy stores down here in Halifax Nova Scotia but from what I understand the easiest way to describe farm boy would be Toronto/Ontario version of wholefoods. Your basically right it's a bushy shop.
Toronto/Ontario version of Wholefoods would be.......Wholefoods,ya we have them - so probably why a Canadian company started Farmboy as competition!
Great video. One thing with Canada is it’s size just think of how many countries you would cross in the same distance in Europe. Then think of how different each country is. We have some things Nation wide ( Tim’s ) and some very special local things. Come to Nova Scotia.
I've seen Yorkshire Tea and other UK imports at Whole Foods here in the US.
Publix also has Yorkshire, and PG Tips!
My Publix has a good selection of squash as well!
@@alyssaalderson2386 Love Publix, mine here in Nc has a pretty large British/ international section. Pretty sure I clean them out of their Terry’s chocolate orange regularly 😂
Farm boy is only around some places in Ontario and yes they’re more expensive. There are other grocers that are a better deal.
You should see stew Leonard’s in the northeast of America. The worlds largest dairy supermarket. They have so much food of all variety’s too. There is one in Connecticut, NY and Paramus NJ.
Another really good one in the northeast U.S. is wegmans and Italian gourmet supermarket uncle Giuseppe’s.
@@MrGlenspace Love Wegmans but very expensive.
Were you taking in to account exchange rate? 1 GBP = 1.4935 CAD
We do have Yorkshire Tea in the US! I love it!!! You can basically only get the red box or the yorkshire gold though. But it's my favorite tea! 😊
I am hooked on Barry's tea in the green box. The tea bags are very big compared to most
@@patricebetts6531 ohh I'll have to give it a try!!
@@patricebetts6531 I LOVE Barry's tea (and other Irish teas for that matter). The thing about tea as far as I can see is the strength depends on how much tea is in the bag, and Barry's has a lot of tea in the bag!
@@bobbbxxx I agree! I’m drinking a cuppa as I write this!
Reminds me of Fresh Market in New England
Oatly is also my favorite oat milk! I first had it in Sweden, and now I’m obsessed! Wish it was cheaper here in the US
Pricing reminds me of where I live San Francisco, really depressing when you think about it. Maybe Farm Boy is there version of Whole Foods.
It is
Reminds me of Whole Foods in the states (Whole Paycheck) 😉
I watched a video the other day talking about what was actually in the non dairy milks. If you watched it you would never use Oatly it again.
That looked like a delicious grocery store.
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP is the suger in most sodas
it you go for diet soda the replacement for HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP usaullay is Aspartame
REGULAR COKE only has HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
where REGULAR PEPSI few years ago decide to add suger with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
I switch from pepsi to coke - because pepsi now has to much suger in it
The Europeans got this one correct. It will eventually be established with certainty that HFCS wreaks havoc on the endocrine system.
In Canada, regular Coke has a blend of sugar and "glucose/fructose" a Canadianism for high fructose corn syrup.
Trader Joe's has sold vegetable wash for decades. I use it on all fruit & veggies regardless of whether they are organic or not, especially if they are not.
Asking for Canadian Bacon in Canada is liking going to Beijing and asking for Chinese food. Actually, what Americans call Canadian Bacon is almost identical to what Canadians sell as Virginia Ham in some forms. (Not all forms, lest the comments get ugly).
It's just called back bacon or" Pea meal TM" bacon if it's rimmed with the yellow grain
That's a fairly posh/upscale grocery, hence the premium prices. Trust me, they aren't all that expensive. Prices in Canada are a bit high compared to America, but they're not consistently THAT high. If you want something more ordinary in Ontario, check out a Freshmart or something.
OTOH, a normal grocery or especially a discount grocery might not necessarily have all those weird "milk but not made out of milk" products. The people who buy that stuff, tend to have more money than average (unless they have a legit allergy or other food sensitivity disorder, but that's nowhere near common enough to support the level of stock you're seeing in that store; and people who are merely a bit lactose intollerant, can just take the lactase pills before meals; I think you can get them at WalMart in bottles of a thousand).
I was shocked that most Almond Milk is only 2% almonds. I looked at the label ingredients and was surprised what it was made of. I'm not lactose intolerant so I prefer real milk.
@@bobbbxxx I've never actually seen almond milk. (I live in a city of ten thousand people in central Ohio, and I buy groceries mostly at Sav-A-Lot...)
@@jonadabtheunsightly I suppose if I were lactose intolerant I be interested in it but otherwise I wouldn't ever drink it.
I recently moved to Canada from the UK and have been searching for good barista milk, I hadn’t tried farm boy, there are a tone of supermarkets here but omfg I’m so happy there’s oatly, don’t care about the price, literally heading there tomorrow! Thanks guys!!
Try Earth's Own Barista Oat Milk for coffee. We use that and it foams pretty well, and every once in a while they're on sale at Metro. The Earth's Own regular Oat Milk is more cost-effective for regular drinking.
@@rayabhik Definitely cheaper than Oatly.

Farm Boy is an Ontario chain owned by Empire Stores. West of Ontario, they have Freshco, a discount grocery chain. But their main, national chains are Sobey's and Safeway, and their Needs convenience store chain. Metro Stores operates in Ontario and Quebec, and their discount brand is Food Basics. There is also Alberta based Loblaw's, with Real Canadian Superstore,, No Frills, and Shopper's Drug Mart. MacDonald Consolidated (formerly owned by Safeway) has their Family Foods chain. Save On Foods and London Drugs are chains based in BC, and, of course, Walmart and Costco are here, too. There's also the Co-op system, based in Saskatchewan. Canadian prices are generally higher than their US counterparts, especially dairy, poultry, and eggs, due to our supply management system, and the general currency exchange rate.
Good overview, though you missed that Empire operates IGA in Quebec.
Farm Boy is one of the most expensive grocery stores around. There are many others that are not as expensive
That looks like Fresh Thyme in the states.
We bought some Yorkshire Gold recently and quite liked it. Our everyday brand is King Cole Orange Pekoe, an East-Coast brand from Nova Scotia and quite flavourful, available at Sobey’s so probably there also. If I’d been there I’d have told you to look for two quintessential Canadian desserts, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars.
Thank you! I've been looking for King Cole Orange Pekoe to try ever since Unilever changed Red Rose tea into a bland generic tasting tea.
I live and grew up in Toronto, and honestly, I’ve never heard of Farmboy Supermarket. Metro, Loblaws, FreshCo, No Frills, Sobey’s…Those are some of the ones I know.
I have never felt so bad for an individual. Fly, be free.

In the uk they have isoglucose. It’s the same
You guys should check out Trader Joe's while in the U.S.
I thought HEB was the best supermarket yall have been to!!?
Farm Boy is relatively new to Toronto. I had only seen them in Ottawa (nation’s capital) before. Any grocery store in downtown Toronto will be more expensive due to high rent. All those new condo owners don’t have much choice in local shopping and they have to pay the price. I do like Farm Boys selection of ready made meals as a treat.
We have a lot of options in Toronto, including less expensive options like Food Basics, but I think the best options price-wise are the little markets (ie, grocers in Chinatown), farmer’s markets that set up a few days a week, plus St Lawrence market, of course. Farm Boy is the Sobey’s brand equivalent of Whole Foods. Also have tonnes of Longos, Sobey’s, Metro, Loblaws, Superstores, Rabba’s, one off green grocers or food specific shops. I think the perception of not many options comes from many of the downtown options being in the underground path or blend in with the condo building they are in.
That particular Farm Boy is directly on the water, surrounded by condos that go for literally 2 to 3.5 million, in a high tourist area. Super expensive area. Individual prices…that $12.99 salad is comparable to getting a similar salad in a restaurant. You’re paying for the variety of ingredients in it, the labour to produce it, plus convenience. It’s easy to eat healthy at a low price, if you buy your produce at a farmer’s market and make it yourself, for example. The cucumber was organic, which is always more expensive. And pricey brand store.
I think Farm Boy has standardised pricing, no matter where in Ontario is the store. The prices quoted online seem to be the same for all stores.
From what I heard from a couple I follow that moved to Canada from the UK is that the usual tea you guys get everywhere over there is called orange pekoe tea over here.
I believe that Tetley and PG Tips are examples of orange pekoe tea.
I have never seen a $3 cucumber here in Toronto, usually the veg store sells them 2 for $1 to 2 for $1.25 depending on how fresh they are, though the best ones can go as high as a dollar each. At the supermarket, though, I've paid as much as $1.29.....
Wow... after seeing the prices further around the store -- I really don't want to go to Farm Boy unless I need something * really * special that only they sell - there's no point paying an extra $50 for each grocery run, just because...
Oatly Barista costs like 3£ here in Norway.
Their posts are all over the place.
The English cucumber is more expensive than the non English ones. Plus, they’re out of season at the moment, otherwise the non English cucumbers can be purchased for around 50 cents in the US.
They have Walmart in Canada.
I live in Toronto and I have never heard of this supermarket
Joel and Lia, have you checked out a Costco in the US yet? You will have content for days!
They actually have Costco in the UK (as do we in Canada)
How about Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s in the United States.
They could've checked out Costco while in Toronto. There's probably at least a dozen stores of theirs. Buy, I think they were trying to get to a store that was accessible by foot.
@@terryomalley1974 for a big supermarket they were just a few blocks from the Loblaws on Queen's Quay. Though it seems they chanced upon the Farm Boy.
Love Costco rotisserie chickens. Massive chicken at a low price
Where have you gotten the idea that people in Canada don't eat salads or vegetables?! It's so odd to me that you've gotten that impression when travelling (Europe, East Asia, USA) I have a much harder time finding vegetable meals than I ever do almost anywhere in Canada!
I buy ingredients and make a salad at home. Wash all the veggies/lettuce and prepare it. Buying a pre-made salad in a plastic clamshell is fine for when you are travelling, but kind of lazy when you live here!
English cucumber at no frills is .99 cents. Canadian bacon is actually called Peameal bacon which is pork loin covered by cornmeal. You can’t compare prices when you are going to an overpriced grocery store. Sorry guys.
Farm Boy would be deemed upmarket. Then you add the premium of being located in the downtown area. We "cherry pick" when shopping at our local Farm Boy.
And tack on a premium for specialty imported foods from other countries. Especially expensive coming from the UK or Europe.
So much produce in America is very expensive. Eating healthy is ridiculously expensive. Lia hit the nail on the head with that. There has been a recent movement since the panny-d to encourage people to grow their own produce. Gardening has really ticked up the last two years.
Produce is super cheap in my state at the farmers markets. Less than half the price of the food stores. 5 lemons for $1, 3 avocados for a $1, mushrooms $1 a lb, and so on.
Agreed ... I get organic to try to minimize exposure to pesticides but it's quite pricey. For example, I just went to Whole Foods and organic cucumbers were $1.49/each and 2 organic honeycrisp apples came out to about $3 for the pair
@@americathebeautifulforever9746 You'll never find lemons or avocadoes at farmers markets in Canada, as farmers don't grow that produce here.
@@americathebeautifulforever9746 Are you in the South? I am up North, and our farmers markets are still quite expensive.
@SalNova15 Where I live we have only Walmart and Safeway. I went did this week's shopping at Walmart this morning. Avocados $1.89 each; 8 oz of spinach $5; 8 oz of kale $5; small lemons $0.89 each; tomatoes $1.59/lb; sweet yellow onions $1.29/lb; whole crimini mushrooms $3.79 for an 8 oz package; celery $1.99/lb; carrots $1.79/lb; zucchini (courgettes) $1.59/lb; parsley $0.99 per bunch; honeycrisp apples $4.99/lb; bananas $1.29/lb; whole grain bread $4.99 per loaf; sliced swiss cheese $7.49/lb; deli turkey breast $10.99/lb; non-organic just plain large eggs $2.29/dozen; 1 lb unsalted butter $4.49; 32 oz Greek style yogurt $5.49; grass-fed beef meatballs $9.99/lb (frozen; approximately 20 per package); frozen prawns (shrimp) $13.99/lb; salmon filet $17.99/lb; boneless, skinless chicken breast $8.99/lb. And this is Walmart. And I only bought enough for one person for a week. Food prices keep going up and up and apparently aren't going to come back down. I'm privileged enough to have space to grow my own food in spring and summer, but now it's too cold to grow much of anything. We already have temperatures well below freezing every night, so I've no choice but to buy it in the shops.
They should also open a,"Farm Girl" Supermarket. 😉
I've lived in Canada my whole life, I have never heard of this place or Metro
Are you in Western Canada or the Maritimes? Metro is Quebec and Ontario, and Farm Boy is Ontario only. We don't have Safeway here in Ontario like they do in Western Canada.
You can get Yorkshire tea in the US.
That is a import grocery store.
No. It's a higher end supermarket chain, not import focussed. Same owner as Sobeys, Safeway and IGA in Canada.
@@mileitman Hmmm.. Farm Boy gets a lot of imported things. It is not the same as other stores owned by the same group.
If you want to pull your hair out, but get good prices, go to Superstore
Why cant we take a leaf out of Canadas book. Love how u walk in to a load of fruit an veg looks so nice and especially with 99.99% of it plastic free or even no packaging. Apart from the pineapple that is just ridiculous like buy it and cut the skin off. I walk into my local supermarket and faced with horrible looking old ish fruit an veg all wrapped in plastic. Like it puts me off buying fruit an veg.
FYI: it would happen in America, you can get Yorkshire Tea from Walmart...lol! At least the one I go to you can...lol!🙂
Walmart Canada has it, too. You just have to shop around different supermarkets.
Some of those price! Jeesh!
Note, the Canadian dollar is worth less than the US, and much less than the British Pound, so you can't compare prices in Canadian dollars directly to US dollars.

I'm from NYC but have worked in Toronto and London and travelled around the world and I can tell you that the UK has WAY better grocery stores and markets than anywhere I've been except Japan and maybe France. NYC is terrible for groceries and markets. It's a bit surprising because the UK isn't world renowned for having amazing cuisine yet the grocery quality, markets, and variety is so good. Even the restaurant variety and quality are better in London than probably anywhere I've been to except Tokyo or Paris. NYC has some good restaurants but still not as good as London.
You are being so mean to my store. LOL. I work at the Front Street and Bathurst location. And yes, food cost in Canada is CRAZY.
Compared to where, though? Supermarket foods are pretty expensive in most Western industrialised nations. If you live downtown in Toronto you can shop Chinatown for much cheaper and usually much fresher produce. Much cheaper.
You have to realize the plastic containers are recyclable.
Corn syrup is terrible for you. It is in a lot of products. Read the labels.
Something will kill you eventually. Live it up.
I hope your Canadian journeys aren't confined to Eastern Canada, because you you might enjoy certain aspects of Western Canadian culture you might otherwise dismiss as foul in Britain. Yes, I'm writing about the perogy that's not common place in Eastern Canada, but is here by virtue of a significant Slavic immigration on the Prairies. Canadian bacon, if you wondeed, is back bacon., and accompanies perogies especially well, along with other pork products.
Rather than boiling them traditional style, use the Canadian pan fry method instead. Also note that you must thaw froxen store bought perogies first before frying. In the pan saute butter, bacon bits and minced onion before frying the perogies. Cool qnd tell til browned on both sides. Yum, but avoid the sour cream traditionally accompanying it if you wanna eat more healthy. Tney go well with breakfast or supper.
Perogies are everywhere,Eastern Canada too - we have immigrants from Eastern Europe as well!
Definitely pierogi are all over Canada. Big Polish community in Toronto.

canadian bacon is basically ham. If you go to a Mariano's Grocery Store in America our Sushi is da bomb.
Not really Canadian bacon is taken from just above where a ham is cut from a pig. It's then rolled in peamal so it is usually gets called peamal Bacon here in Canada. It's also sliced thicker than it is in other places that call thin slices of ham Canadian bacon.
