This is encouraging me to eat less food products and focus more on just raw ingredients where there is no ingredients to skimp out on.

Until you go to Loblaws and find the overpriced overripe and expired produce they try to sell.

And that’s why they jacked up the price of every vegetable and fruit. A bushel of green options 3 years ago here was $0.79. It’s now $2.49. And they look meagre af.

They have every angle sewn up at this point.
