"textContent": "\n\n\n\nCanadian shoppers recently told Narcity which grocery stores in Canada have the lowest prices.\n\nSo, we decided to compare the costs of a few essential food products to find out which retailers are cheaper.\n\nHere are the top five grocery stores that have the lowest prices, according to Canadians:\n\n 1. No Frills\n 2. Giant Tiger\n 3. Walmart\n 4. Food Basics\n 5.
