Grocery prices continue to increase

Call me a sucker but I saw these and actually bought 2 boxes of them LMAOYou just reminded me, I was at the store last week and I saw some brand I don't ever recall seeing, NoodleKing or something? The packs were .12c a pack. I did a double take when I saw that price cause they haven't seen them that low in so many years
I'm not going to vouch for the source of that graphic. I traced it to a Reddit post of an X re-tweet. I don't follow the stock market.
I DO know that Loblaws has been successfully sued for price manipulation. There was some sort of class action judgment against them recently. I received a notification that if I sent my e-mail address and said that I had bought bread sometime during a ten years or so window, I'd receive about fifty bucks sometime this year. This wasn't some scam e-mail from an .io domain server. This was an official notice saying anyone who applied before the deadline would get an equal share of the amount.
I have, actually, bought bread at Loblaws during that period. I really like their sourdough bread, but it's expensive, and the loaf shape makes it difficult to make more than a few sandwiches that aren't bite size.
I usually stock up on President's Choice horseradish mayo when it's discounted. It's really difficult to find stores which carry it. Sometimes I've seen it at a ValuMart next to the Main Street subway station, and it's almost always available at the Maple Leaf Gardens store. It's one of my favourite condiments. It goes especially well with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice on fish.
"As of mid-April 2026, Loblaw Companies Limited (L.TO) stock is trading around CA$62–$63, with forecasts suggesting a potential moderate rise. Analysts provide an average 12-month target of roughly CA$68–$92, citing stable performance, though high debt-to-equity ratios and market volatility remain potential risks for the retailer."
I don't like the the rise in grocery prices either, but smart shopping can lessen the pain. And maybe the people who complain about stock prices, should buy in.
What are you guys talking about ?
"affordability's the best it's been in over a decade"
Smart shopping can lessen the pain?
Good luck with that, the grocery market has become a dualopoly just like the telecommunications market. Loblaws and Empire owns 80% of the grocery chains. Were I live the closest supermarkets are Loblaws (Fortinos) and Empire (Longos). It's only a mater of time before the other chains like Metro and Pattison get swallowed up. I don't idle my car at a Tim's drive through but I do buy the tins, the latest price at Longo's is $34.99.
Remember when Galen Weston tried to promote himself as a Canadian Jimmy Stewart?

they'll get away with it until they dont and then they'll get slapped with a 10 thousand dollar fine and continue to do it because 10k is nothing to them and it never amounts to anything as usualAnd getting away with it!
Yup, essentially a parking ticket.they'll get away with it until they dont and then they'll get slapped with a 10 thousand dollar fine and continue to do it because 10k is nothing to them and it never amounts to anything as usual
yessir, wasnt it a few months ago they slapped loblaws with two 10k dollar fines for marking imported goods as canadian and they just kept doing it because its peanuts to them
Totally agree. Bottom line, the Canada that every body loved is gone, finished. Only way to survive and thrive is to leave. I have. No longer a Canadian resident. If you don’t have anything holding you back, leave for South east Asia or Eastern Europe or even Sri Lanka. Panama and Equador also have a big expat community. All offer great lifestyle on a fraction of the cost. And no Left Wing bullshit either. Ok , you’ll miss hockey and maybe the blue jays but you won’t miss the winters, the homeless, the taxes and shitty government. Lol.
Agreed. Anyone who blames Trump for Canadas decline has their head in the fucken snow!
To prevent a mass exodus the Canadian government is planning on charging $500,000 if you want to leave the country so if you're on the fence, leave now before they implement this fee.
Yeah. Thats insane. They know anyone with money is likely to leave. Many young people starting their lives post university is considering leaving. No good jobs, Out of reach housing, taxes and regulation killing entrepreneurship, cost of every day life is through the roof, horrible mood and sentiment everywhere. Leaving is the wise choice !

Anyone who voted for the Liberals voted for this! People who voted kept the Liberals in power have no one to blame but themselves! However, since no one wants to take responsibility for their "asinine" decisions, they will blame President Trump!
Elbows up!
Fools!
I watched this yesterday - on the plus side I weighed my Costco meats for fun after seeing this video and Costco weights were spot on
10 million Canadians (25% of Canadians)can't afford food. Almost 40% of Canadian children are from families that can't afford food.
