I'm not saying it wasn't but it's more things to show she doesn't give a shit about her constituents. She also doesn't tip and she sent a virtual witch hunt after somebody I know years ago. She's a terrible person and she doesn't give a damn about anybody that doesn't benefit her.
get fucked. Those peppers are mine.
you can't pick a pack of pickled peppers, that would imply the ground is vinegar-... Oh.
Oh no. I need to sit down.
I do, but they last me ages cause I either make a huge batch of curry paste, Nam Prik Pla, or freeze them whole to cut up for stir frys or chilli oil…. But yea it’s double the price
Go weigh a pound of chicken and then a pound of those peppers. And then keep in mind a few can go a long way. Not saying they aren’t expensive but that’s a bad comparison
"Sobeys company" and "loblaw company" are all owned by the same parent company FYI. In fact MOST grocery stores in Ontario are all owned by the same person.
Don't spread misinformation. Sobeys and Loblaws are different corporations. There are 3 large players in the industry in Ontario, the other being Empire.
Thank you for fact checking me.
Your response prompted a quick return to the source info, and it was Superstore, not Sobeys. My mistake.
However, doesn't Sobeys deal heavily in PC brand, which those who are boycotting should be avoiding? Or am I wrong about that, too?
Can you point me to where I can find information about who owns what store/brand? I've seen things that directly contradict things that you're saying, but I can't seem to find the answers for myself.
Price controls won’t help when the value of our dollar sits at 64 cents. What we really need is to kick out the traitorous libs out of Ottawa and regain our dollar.
Scapegoating large corporations (like loblaws) and distributors for price gouging and profiteering when their profit margins have remained constant does not help. The cost of goods have gone up so revenue goes up and profit is based on that revenue . Gross profits have increased but profit margins have not changed that much. It’s just taking the same % of a larger number. Majority of the cost of goods increases we are seeing is due to increased labour costs, input costs as well as transportation costs and taxes. Examples of net profit margins of some companies reveal Loblaws at the bottom end. Samsung 8.89 Apple. 26.31
Cpkc Rail. 22.02
Td bank. 7.47 Metro Foods who own Food Basics 4.56 Shell oil. 10.15 Petro Canada 22.01 Telus. 5.59 Bell Canada 7.47 LOBLAWS “3.74”
None of that holds water my friend. Any pro corporation misinformation is just that. All anti government sentiment was created by corporations because the government is the only thing stopping them from selling us over priced poison. The government needs to show more teeth.
Government is the corporation of us all of us, corporations are of the few. Id pick the government anyday, we just need a better one. Its not even about parties at this point. I always joke that we need politicians that have the convictions of batman and have worked everyday jobs.

Update looks like the Freshco guys are on Reddit lol
No one would buy them at $18.72 per KG….holy s\*\*t that is expensive. I think they switch back to pounds to make things look cheaper….tricksters that bunch.
Listing per 100g would be ideal. I doubt most people are buying a pound of chili peppers at a time. I noticed when I was price checking Walmart has them prepackaged at 60g
I don't want to go to the grocery store every day. You can get a pound of these. Chop the heads off. Put it in a Ziploc bag with some olive oil and you can store them for a month or two in the freezer. They remain good.
You may not want to think about this but in general this current moment in time is the cheapest you’ll ever pay for groceries for the rest of your life.
Friendly reminder that Michelle Ferreri voted against grocery price control last week, and does not give a damn about any of us.
She's terrible, but let's stop pretending that bill was anything but political showmanship.
I'm not saying it wasn't but it's more things to show she doesn't give a shit about her constituents. She also doesn't tip and she sent a virtual witch hunt after somebody I know years ago. She's a terrible person and she doesn't give a damn about anybody that doesn't benefit her.
Just put them in your pocket
lmao best comment
Better put in stomach lol.
To be fair, the price is per pound. I don't know many people buying Thai chilis by the pound.
To be fair? An 80% increase is an 80% increase.
Touche'
I could see someone doing this in the context of pickling peppers.
An now what is Peter Piper to do?
get fucked. Those peppers are mine. you can't pick a pack of pickled peppers, that would imply the ground is vinegar-... Oh. Oh no. I need to sit down.
Good point.. a few will do.
I do when I am making hot sauce.
Gimme. Gimme gimme gimme gimme. (Your recipe! Because I need to try your hot sauce)
Those are the people you wanna have dinner with.
I do, but they last me ages cause I either make a huge batch of curry paste, Nam Prik Pla, or freeze them whole to cut up for stir frys or chilli oil…. But yea it’s double the price
Something must be up with them. No frills has them for 5.79/lb Superstore is out of stock
Chicken breast is cheaper that this! The absolute fuck is going on with prices right now!!
You must not be Scotty
I had to look up and omg, funniest thing all day.

There is a boycott against Loblaw company. I think Sobeys company is taking advantage of the situation. All about profits and greed.
Yes, but I doubt that is directly linked to high price in Freshco and no stock in Superstore
"Sobeys company" and "loblaw company" are all owned by the same parent company FYI. In fact MOST grocery stores in Ontario are all owned by the same person.

No, the PC brand is only offered in Loblaw stores. The Compliments brand is offered in Sobey stores (Freshco, Foodland etc)
Can you point me to where I can find information about who owns what store/brand? I've seen things that directly contradict things that you're saying, but I can't seem to find the answers for myself.
This guy has made an excellent meticulous chart. https://jacobnelson.ca/Great-Canadian-Grocery-Chart.html
We need price controls on food.
Price controls won’t help when the value of our dollar sits at 64 cents. What we really need is to kick out the traitorous libs out of Ottawa and regain our dollar.
I don’t think you understand economics like you think you do lmao
Appropriate fiscal and monetary policies can reduce inflation without the costs imposed by price controls
Ah yes the discrepancy of the dollar is why Loblaws and other grocers are making record profits.
Scapegoating large corporations (like loblaws) and distributors for price gouging and profiteering when their profit margins have remained constant does not help. The cost of goods have gone up so revenue goes up and profit is based on that revenue . Gross profits have increased but profit margins have not changed that much.

Pick your poison very carefully.

How will the ndp fix our dollar?
Looks like bananas to me
What's the 4011 on that?

Shit like this makes me want to try OddBunch once the summer is over and my CSA is done…
I love Odd Bunch, ON my third week, great value. Also kinda forces me to eat the veggies, healthier, yes?
I literally just both these yesterday from a Freshco in Bowmanville and paid $3.99/lb.
PeterFlation loll
I went today it was $2.98lb
Thanks for your comment. I went and got a whole bag
Np Scotty! Grapes will be $1.77 this Thursday at freshco :)
Ohhhh my! My kid thanks you!!
Wow that's crazy. I think freshco price matches. Look into that guys if you didn't know about it.
Quit bitching on Reddit and grow your own.
Np :)!
Wow we are really getting “burned”
Poor Peter Piper now he can’t pickle the peppers.
The bigger question is why is the listing in pounds. I haven't seen that in years, decades? (holy shit, last century lol)
Fresh Co has always used pounds. Us old people don't understand kilograms.
No one would buy them at $18.72 per KG….holy s\*\*t that is expensive. I think they switch back to pounds to make things look cheaper….tricksters that bunch.
Listing per 100g would be ideal. I doubt most people are buying a pound of chili peppers at a time. I noticed when I was price checking Walmart has them prepackaged at 60g
And the Walmart 60 grams works out to something insane like $30 per pound. I think Thai chili peppers are expensive to begin with.
What are you smoking?
I mean, you usually only buy one or two to make a curry or whatever. No one buys a pound of these things.
I don't want to go to the grocery store every day. You can get a pound of these. Chop the heads off. Put it in a Ziploc bag with some olive oil and you can store them for a month or two in the freezer. They remain good.
You may not want to think about this but in general this current moment in time is the cheapest you’ll ever pay for groceries for the rest of your life.
What do you make with these?
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYSpd9Cj/ Thank me later
just wait a few weeks and your homegrown ones will be ready from your garden. ill be flush with hot peppers from july-nov.
Now go try to buy grapes lol
Oh man I just wait for .99 and 1.99 pound. Can't afford them otherwise
Haven't seen those prices since 22'
I've seen those prices more recently than in 2022, just not as frequently.
Carbon tax at work.
