**Correction (edited in):** the "whole basket" total under the images only counted items that *every* store in that city listed, so each city's total covered a different number of items — Victoria 16, Hamilton 17, Ottawa 9, Vancouver 10. That makes the totals fine within a city and wrong between cities: Ottawa is not 2.6x cheaper than Victoria. The item-by-item rows are not affected. I've fixed the tool and posted the corrected totals in a comment below. Sorry for the bad number.

Someone here said most of these chains are one company so comparing them is pointless, so I ran Ottawa, where six of the nine chains are Loblaw, and three more cities with it: Vancouver, Victoria and Hamilton, Oct 6, 21 brand-name products at exact pack size, every chain within 15 km of downtown. No store wins every row.

The tables are from PriceBite, a free Android app I made, on the Play Store under that name. Your own list gets a basket total at each store near you.

Prices from the stores' public websites and flyers.
