About groceries in Montreal

Montreal is one of the most affordable major cities in Canada on overall cost of living, and its grocery market is unusually competitive. Discount banners, conventional supermarkets and a vibrant network of independents and marchés keep prices in check across most categories.

Cost of living context

Montreal is the most affordable of Canada's five largest cities on overall cost of living, with materially lower housing costs and competitive grocery prices. The food scene is dense, varied and price-aware.

  • Housing: lowest of Canada's five largest cities

  • Groceries: at or modestly below the national average; very competitive

  • Transport: STM provides extensive metro and bus coverage

  • Dining out: among the strongest values in any major Canadian city
