Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these “three packs” of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

      Sounds like they might be pumping water into that shrimp. They do it for chicken breast and I think up to half the weight of the product can be water added or something ridiculous like that.

      I have a locally-run produce store close to me, and I’ve found even for things like the brand of packaged cookies they sell, there’s a unique texture and crispness to them - it’s made me a bit more aware of the quality standards that individual stores may have.

      If I go there, I don’t get my pick of 17 brands for common things like meat or milk, but I end up enjoying the one or two options they have.
