ask yourself why you would want to enter a business where your product has a very limited shelf life
then ask yourself how you could compete in such a price elastic market and why anyone would shop at your store rather than nofrills, walmart, food basics, or loblaws
Grayson Robinson
please answer my questions
James Barnes

Evan Diaz

Ryder Hall

Is it true Canada is entering a hyperinflationary death spiral like Venezuela.
In Canada, a single snickers bar can cost up to $8.79
One single can of Coca-cola can go for as much as $5.43
Canadians try to rationalize this with "muh exchange rates" and "muh metric system" but the truth is Canada is collapsing
It is so bad that the currency is plunging from almost $0.85 at early 2018 to around $0.73 today

Canadians are afraid of taking pictures of their in-store prices because of government censors

>A Canadian citizen in China has been sentenced to death after a court convicted him of drug smuggling on Monday, a move likely to further inflame tensions between Ottawa and Beijing.
There is so little food in Canada that Canadian nationals are immigrating to CHINA to eat! How fucked is their economy where literal communists eat better than their Socialist Utopia?
This proves Canadians are willing to sell drugs in foreign countries at the risk of death just to eat some ramen, how fuck pathetic and cucked can one country be?

Canadian reporting in. Nongshim (the small cup) is $9.70, bananas are 7$ a lb and chicken thighs are about 7$ each. Put 100% of my net worth into Link to try to get out of this dump
Grayson Taylor
only way to make it is to buy from local farmers and upsell for 3-8x. Market it as a "high end grocer" with a wine section that really pays the bills
Benjamin Roberts
Noone here will be able to answer. Get a job as a help hand at one of those ethnic supermarkets and get an idea how it works. Plus you might decide you dont like it after all.
Easton Sanchez
do you happen to have any photos of in-store prices that you've taken?

Here is a very informal case study of some pricing at grocery chain stores I did. Pic related

i found a black market snickers dealer
he sells me the best snickers at only $6.42/candy bar
beats paying $9.34 at the store
i cant tell you how or where in fear that im being watched, just know there is another way

I would recommend you do the same thing in your area and really take a look at the full range of prices on staple goods. Things like what I was looking at in the pic. Bananas, Bread, Beer, Soda, Conventional Produce, Organic Produce, Meat, etc. You want to really take a look at the pricing of these goods as they can indicate the margin (very roughly) that the big and small grocers in your area are using. Make sure that you are super diligent about this and record whatever you observe so that you can compare the data later. Keep in mind that premium stores will usually charge an average of a 40% margin on top of their WSP (Whole Sale Price) and value markets can charge much less (~20%-30%). This will obviously vary wildly from category to category of items so be sure to do your homework on this before as much as possible.
Aaron Robinson
we all know the risk you took posting that so thank you.
please just answer the OP questions and include photos.
Joseph Jenkins
Take a look at this picture. Just examine the price range on display in a single image. The store brand stuff is like their baseline for pricing. You can guess how much more they are charging the manufacturers by using their pricing as a baseline.

It's all I documented. It would be irrelevant to him anyways as this is really hyper-dependent on geography. The information posted above is more universal and therefore more valuable.
Nicholas Edwards
Why don't they post the in store prices? Where does this fear come from?
I am worried for our neighbors in the north.

Thanks but I don't require burger buck prices.
It's concerning to say the least. Maybe I need to pick another location.
