But produce at Nesters market @ SFU since I work there in produce department I know when the stuff comes in and fresh!
It depends on the management. I used to work at a Kin's too and during that time we went through three different management teams, all with different ways of pushing products off the shelf.
At a location with good management you can be pretty sure what you're getting is no more than a day or two old from the suppliers at most.


Our household is nice and easy
Fruits & Vegetables= Kin's
Eggs/Milk= Superstore, Costco
Frozen/Canned/Other non-perishables= Superstore, Costco, maybe Safeway
Proteins= Costco for just about everything. Han Kook on Kingsway; Glory Meats in Surrey

the occasional Asian food items: H-Mart, T&T, Henlong (Surrey)
