I accepted the challenge and took a bunch of pictures off common prices in a Canadian grocery store. The grocery store is "save-on-foods" - a mid-range grocery store owned by Pattison. The store is located in the Vancouver metro area where millions of Canadians live (2nd largest city in canada)
Most of these prices are not even close to the sky-high prices being claimed in CIC threads.
Friendly reminder Americans are SEETHING that we have cheaper food despite being buttblasted by Trump, and cherry picking to feel better. >Milk - 4.75$ for 4L >Cheese - 5$ for 400g >Rib eye steak - 15$ per pound (1 steak usually 12$) >Chicken breasts - 3-7$ per pound >Eggs - 2.50$ for a dozen >Bread - 2.50$ per loaf, 2$ if unsliced >Butter - 4$ per pound >Sour cream - 4.50$ per L >Potatoes - 1$ per pound >Various staple fruits ~1-2$ per pound >Various staple veggies ~1-2$ per pound All prices in monopoly money and for items sold individually. Usually up to 40% cheaper if bought in a bag/in bulk. For instance OPs potato pic for 10lbs is 6.50$ vs 1$ per pound when bought alone.
yea, but you see, Americans are fat and the milk they produce is made by injecting their dairy cattle with hormones and other drugs to get better yield. We don't allow that here. Also you're fat.

subsidized hormone and steroid filled trash compared to our pure white liquid.

OP is clearly doing damage control against this BBC article
"The average Canadian family of four spends about $12,000 on food a year. Various estimates suggest families spend anywhere from a low of $140 a week to roughly $230 a week on food."
The prices he posts are from the far north. It costs a fortune to buy anything up there so prices are retardedly high

CLAIMS:
>1 kg cheese in canada is $69 (probably more now) yes, cheese is expensive. But it's more like 15$ per kilo >1kg garlic butter $36 i don't know who the fuck is buying garlic butter, but butter prices have been around 4$/lb (10$/kilo) for years. The cheapest I have ever bought butter around 5 years ago was $2.50/lb as a loss leader. I track butter prices very closely since we eat so much of it. >1kg cheap frozen salami $65 i buy salami fairly regularly, it used to be around 15$ for 1 kilos at costco, but in recent years has been between 20$-25$. 65$/kilo is totally absurd. >1 rib eye steak $90 I highly doubt it but didn't take a pic of this. Steak is very cheap in Alberta but more expensive here. >1L sour cream $20 It's under 10$ but I don't have a pic >dozen eggs $7+ I took a pic where they are under 3$ but I usually buy high quality eggs for just under 5$/dozen. This price is the closest to reality. >1kg chicken breast $35 I have a picture showing it on sale for 9$/lb or 22$/kilo >24 of beer $60 also not sure far off, a 24 will run you around 45$
Michael Russell
The HIGH prices showing were most likely up in the Yukon or NWT where food is shipped in and it's costly...but everyone makes six figures for having to live in such a shithole.

Where I shop you can get 24 cans of coca cola for around $6,80
Jeremiah Sanders

Tyler Lopez
american milk is total shit. When i lived in America I bought Royal Crest or Horizon which are both around 5$/gallon. Fuck your pus milk.
Dominic Allen
those are from fucking ontario i know because ive been there and i zoomed in on the stickers. is markham in the far north? what about mississauga? you guys cant handle having your prices exposed. fucking losers
Raise and grow your own food stop being a cuck to the system
I only go to the human cattle feeding station aka the grocery store about 3 times a year for the few things I just cant produce
Luke Nguyen
>you pay 5 for one leafbitch first of all, why the fuck are you drinking that poison? Second of all, I'm not sure i've ever even seen Sunny D in a canadian grocery store. Third of all, you're claiming they cost X without any fucking proof. These threads are pathetic.
Blue cheese is the expensive kind of cheese in any country. What kind of drugs are you on? Also >product of france Imported cheese. Yea it's expensive everywhere.
Chase Gonzalez
That must a once in a lifetime sale because the absolute cheapest salami is $46.66/kg
>presliced what in the fuck does that negate the fact leaf food prices are 300-1000% higher than the western world?
>presliced The same exact shit costs $1-1.50 in France, the UK, Poland etc. And yes, it is >PRESLICED
Colton Jones
This meme is already past expiry, much like polish women after they've racked 100 BBC. You're carpet cleaners, janitors and servants, much like niggers so it ain't much of a leap to bang blacks. It's almost the same tier.
what the fuck is Zehrs? I've literally never heard of it and there is no grocery store called "zehrs" that i am aware of. Why aren't you using real grocery stores like PC, Costco, Save-on, Thriftys or Safeway?
Jeremiah Garcia
i don't understand why there are so many Canadian Prices thread? what the fuck? why? Who Benefits from spamming this?
you can cherry pick high prices for certain specialty foods in literally any country. I posted over a dozen ordinary food prices in actualy supermarkets, stuff that real canadians actually buy.
Gavin Davis
No one, polish fag just likes to make Canadians seeth. Literally uses spamming and he should be banned.
Kevin Scott
he's using the highest prices he can find and playing it off like this is the norm in Canada, they used to post nunavut prices 2-3 months ago doing the same on items that have to be flown in but it was too obvious so they instead now switched to posting daily prices of the most expensive of any kind of brand name bio item off the most expensive grocery store.
Xavier Reed
yea presliced meats are more expensive, you have to pay for the plastic too. And no one has ever heard of zehrs so your pics from your fake website are fake.
Camden Reyes
It doesn't matter what you post, he'll blow it off regardless. This is trolling.
Gabriel Lewis
Probably some faggy new age food store where they charge people with dyed hair and mismatched genitals twice as much for food.
Hudson Russell
literally in denial about the 15+ in-store stickers posted ITT
pretty good troll, made me take pics at the grocery store wasting 10 minutes of my time. 7/10
Parker Brooks
they are posting IGA prices too which is another high end grocery store that us plebs never even go to.
Luke Smith
Yeah okay and I pay 1.99 for a pound of chicken
Angel Fisher
all these leafs posts sales and loss leaders. stop posting sales, post the fucking food prices
The truth is this is a dissuasion technique in argueing against him and his proxies because in fact the best prices to post is website prices because stores have to change that much for items. A store price can change through the year and not be up to date but the website price is always up to date.
all the prices I posted are either the normal price, or the sale price with the normal price printed above. The reality of the matter is, half the items in a given grocery store are on sale at any given time when you go to the grocery store, and that's what sane people choose from. Online prices are for grocery delivery and are always higher so that grocery chains can make more money from old ladies who can't get to the grocery store anymore.
Cooper Ramirez
I literally didn't post a single loss leader.
Asher Gomez
this faggot literally said the same thing to me yesterday. Curse your mom.
Well I go to Loblaws. I don't think there are any IGA's in Ottawa. However I do know that cheese prices vary extraordinarily, as there are lots of different types of specialty cheeses and a lot are imported. Therefore cheese prices are no signifier to anything unless they are local and generic of type.
Joseph Ross
I literally posted that Ketchup bottle for $4.70 on sale, normal price $4.99
Nice try . I've seen that before . And that is not from the Zehrs flyer .
Lincoln Cox
first of all, PC is a bargain bin brand so you are proving how ignorant you are. Second, post the 4 liter prices, they are about 50% the price of those ripoff 2l containers.
Liam Martinez
13$/kilo for coffee isn't even expensive. That's like 5$/pound US. What are you trying to prove?
Levi Taylor
don't fall for it, here's the normal Canadian price of 925g maxwell coffee right now
>2 if you buy instant rice you deserve to be ripped off. It's 15$ for 5 kilos of high-quality basmati indian rice which lasts 2-3 months even if you eat a lot of rice like I do.
Jackson Gutierrez
I've tried that stuff, desu I'm not much of a fan.
Zachary Thomas
or you can pay like... 20 bucks for an 8kg bag of it.
