Milk: Costco Sets the Floor
The best milk price in Edmonton right now is at Costco: 2% Milk for $5.96 for 4L ($1.49/L) and Partly skimmed milk from Beatrice at the same price. That's the everyday, non-sale price.
For lactose-free options, Ultra-filtered 1% Lactose Free Milk is on sale at No Frills for $6.00 for 2L ($3.00/L), while Wholesale Club has Lactose Free 1% Milk on sale at $5.99 for 1.89L ($3.17/L). Lactose-free runs about double the price of regular — par for the course.
Eggs: Costco Bulk or Bust
BURNBRAE LARGE FREE RUN EGGS at Costco cost $23.99 for 60 eggs — that's $0.40 per egg. Free run, large, no sale needed. If you have the fridge space, nothing else comes close.
Yogurt: The Wildest Spread in the Dairy Aisle
This is where price shopping pays off most. The range is staggering:
| Product | Store | Price | $/kg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain Yogurt Halal Natural Yogurt | Walmart Supercentre | $2.24 (sale, reg $3.18) | — |
| Punjabi Dahi, Plain Yogurt | FreshCo | $4.99 for 1.8 kg (sale, reg $5.79) | $2.77 |
| Activia Yogurt | Walmart Supercentre | $3.47 for 1.2 kg (sale) | $2.89 |
| Yogurt (Danone 16×100g) | No Frills | $6.50 for 1.6 kg (sale) | $4.06 |
| Yogurt 2% (Olympic) | Real Canadian Superstore | $10.00 for 2 kg (sale) | $5.00 |
The best value per kilogram is Punjabi Dahi at FreshCo — $2.77/kg on sale from $5.79. That's a 4% savings over Activia Yogurt at Walmart Supercentre ($2.89/kg on sale). If you just want the cheapest checkout price regardless of size, that Plain Yogurt Halal Natural Yogurt at Walmart Supercentre for $2.24 on sale is hard to beat.
Cheese: Where the Premium Hits Hardest
Budget cheese shoppers should head to Safeway or Sobeys — Cream cheese spread is on sale for $2.99 at both. Compliments Gouda Cheese is also on sale at $4.44 at both chains.
But venture into specialty territory and prices skyrocket. Oka Cheese at City Market is on sale at $9.00 for 190g — that's $47.37/kg. Kerrygold Swiss Cheese at Save-On-Foods runs $7.99 for 227g ($35.23/kg on sale). For comparison, Balderson Aged Cheddar 2 Years at FreshCo is on sale at $6.99 for 265g ($26.38/kg, regular $7.99) — premium, but about half the cost of Oka per kilogram.
Bottom Line
Costco is unbeatable on milk ($1.49/L) and eggs ($0.40/ea) if you buy in bulk. Walmart Supercentre wins on yogurt sale prices — Plain Yogurt at $2.24 (sale from $3.18) and Activia at $3.47 for 1.2 kg (on sale). FreshCo has the best yogurt value per kilogram with Punjabi Dahi at $2.77/kg. And unless you're celebrating, skip the $47/kg specialty cheese.
