They are usually $2 at superstore/no frills when it’s on sale … before the COVID inflation it was like 99 cents .

Don't know how they stay in business. Everything seems to be 30% more than anywhere else. Hardly any customers in the Sobeys here and mostly just people picking up one or two items because it's on their way or closest to their home.

Just got back from Co-op... bell peppers were $12.99/lb! Green ones were still $3.99/lb, but yellow/red/orange were all $12.99/lb.

Don't get me started. The boss came back from Costco with a beef loin that used to cost between $80-95. Now for a medium sized loin she payed $168. That blew my mind. $49.99/kg
I guess the next time I bbq myself a steak I'll be making her and our boy bologna sandwiches. Unless that's gone through the roof too.

Holy crap
That’s the way we do it, find a great deal and load up!
Huge upright freezer to accommodate this meat hoarding when it happens.
