Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

I am outraged about this. Went to my local Maxi to pick up eggs (they were half price than others) and I saw this on top of something else. I get them from costco anyways, but this kind of shrinkflation is really annoying. Other soft drinks are probably going to get the same treatment

Our nearest Walmart is sealing their cartons of eggs in plastic, so customers can't check if they're broken or not. ☹️

I assume this might be an appropriate community to post photos of such blasphemy..?

Those are important posts. I wouldn't mind seeing them here but we could use a more general grocerystoresareoutofcontrol community

I wish I actually had taken a photo or two of that shit last month. I'll definitely keep that in mind in the near future, next time I go to Walmart.

I'm sure they're still doing that shit today ☹️

When did they go from 355ml to 341ml?

Honestly it's been like that as far as I can remember. This brand was already stealing a sip from us.

This is wild! Consider posting it to c/shrinkflation. (Edit: Tbh, I'm unsure how much this is a loblaws vs nestea thing..)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !shrinkflation@lemmy.ca

Thanks, bot <3. I was aware to use @ when starting to type to link to someone's name. Now I know to use ! when linking to a community (it triggers the tab-fill dropdown)

That's not tea, it's uncarbonated soda.

Loblaws would sell Arizona Iced Tea for $1.99.
