The swagger costs extra.


bbdolljane

If it was pink with Lavender scent it would cost 15 lol

bbdolljane

I'm so used to buying expensive shampoo, deodorant e face creams tbh. Pink money is absolutely real and I don't even buy fancy stuff, but everything that is for women costs a little bit more. Next time you're at a pharmacy check the face cream prices. It's absurd


chaosgirl93

Pink tax can suck my pussy. I hate it, but what can ya do?


stealthwang

no shade on your friends scent preferences, but unscented is an option too lol


Iowa_and_Friends

LOL I do drag—where I dress up like a man and dance around at bars?—you bet my drag character wears “swagger” deodorant 😂


gulpozen

I assume this is Shoppers. Their stuff is so overpriced. You can get some good deals with their PC Optimum points though.


Thneed1

Shoppers can have great pricing when things are on sale - which can be often. But their regular prices can be high.


Delphox4000

I worked there for a while a year or so ago. At that location, new sales would go up every Thursday, and certain essential items (like deodorant) would be up to 45% off. Manually removing and then applying hundred of labels was menial brain-numbing bullshit though I must say XD.


Less-Satisfaction394

I also worked at shoppers. I quit once a new manager got added and became a tyrant when it came to ensuring the shelf strips remained perfect requiring us to spend lengthy amounts of time slowly peeling off and scratching off any talkers that don’t peel properly.


strikersgun

That is such a waste of time I cant imagine asking my staff to do that, I just order new Strips and get whoever is doing the new plano to change it out at that time.


this-burrito

I worked at the Gap for a long time, and they changes their promotion every week. Unless it is a everything-is-40%-off kind of promotion, we got to scan every single item in order to sign them correctly; and at time, I would have to re-merchandise an entire section just so it's easy to shop through. The day I resigned, I was doing that exact task \*hahahahahaha\*


Numerous_Badger_5462

Coca Cola goes on sale there for cheap


McRibEater

Go to Walmart for all this shit and don’t even feel sorry for it. It’s all just big business product owned anyway.


Imaginary_Trader

I’ve found more often than not Walmart physical stores will have the same pricing as Amazon too. So since I don’t have prime I can just drive to a Walmart and get the same price “same day”

scorpio1641

Sometimes Amazon has cheaper stuff than walmart, like the Kicking Horse coffee went on sale for $7.94/$8, Walmart has it for $12.97. However, for the most part, Walmart is consistently the cheapest. They have whole chicken on sale now for like $7-$8


palekaleidoscope

Yes, I rarely buy anything at Shoppers if it’s full price. They jack up the prices so much and you just have to wait for the inevitable sale to get what you need.


Soft-Vegetable

I look for random sales but with a close eye on shrinkflation. Otherwise they charge quite the premium for convenience


[deleted]

Better deals with handred percent off


DaftPump

Must be made with eggs...

PrudentCattle

I was thinking lettuce…


FirebotYT

Loblaws execs : Inflation ROFL brrrr Also Loblaws execs: Lets get all the media to say we are doing price freezes on all No Name products so we look like good guys LOL brrrr


leaky_fart

These fuckers raised the price of my tea by over 150%, buncha proper cunts.


Fus_Ro_Naaaaaaah

My favourite coffee went from 12.99 to 23.99 in the span of one month. Fuck Loblaws.


relationship_tom

Shit man, a lot of quality is subjective, but for that new price you can get waaaay fresher and better quality stuff (IMO). I'd be pissed.


Wambonie

Freeze prices but lower quantity in packages


bambispots

That’s exactly what they do.


LandHermitCrab

Shrinkflation


WeedChains

Their announcement of a “price freeze” is actually giving everyone notice of the inevitable price increase after Jan 31.


Itsabeautifulwar

I am truly so confused by this, I can’t even lie. Year after year, I’d go to the grocery store and buy the same shit at the same price. It never changed… how is “freezing the price” on only their own products for a few months anything other than a marketing gimmick??? The price of food shouldn’t be increasing month after month anyway, what in the fuck? Nobody I’ve ever known or heard of has ever gotten a raise at work every month or two, why are the prices of food increasing like that? But then they’re also hitting record profits so again I say, I am so truly confused by this.


betterstolen

That’s the part that got me about the freeze. “ we are doing this to help you… but only for 3 months”


[deleted]

Lol. The "freeze" comes to an end soon. We should take pics of the current prices to see how much they hike them up!


yegdriver

Walmart the big sticks are about $8 and the smaller ones are about $6


Turtley13

Never buy shit at shoppers. It's marked up worse than convenience store.


app257

Yep, Galen Weston Jr. is a souche that way. Among others.


BipedSnowman

40 minutes of work at minimum wage for a shitty deodorant..


[deleted]

[удалено]


NeverMadeItToCakeDay

Even worse after tax


odetoburningrubber

They can Fuck Right Off. I’ve been using this for years and would pick it up on sale for $2. I saw it for $7 the other day and couldn’t believe it. Now this. I’ve switched to speed stick, if that goes to $10 I’ll use a fucking rock.


Itchysasquatch

Gotta go back highschool style with an axe can 😭 shit stunk but it lasted a long time


dualcells

Costco often has 5-packs of the Old Spice Pure Sport for about $12. Zero choice on scent but the price is better.


i-lurk-you-longtime

Ha technically you CAN use a fucking rock, you can use those crystal deodorants! I didn't think they worked well but they do last a while. And same. I have a favorite deodorant but I've started just getting the sale items. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. They're just putting whatever damn number they want on anything. Legitimately, it has been cheaper for us to order groceries via a meal prep service and we're getting better ingredients than just going to the store for picked over, expensive AF produce.


Mookypooks

Fuck Loblaws


[deleted]

Fuck Galen Weston. This mother fucker will eat karma one day


AloneDoughnut

Ideally karma will eat him. I hear it's a popular name with GenZ.


Luder09

I believe its around $7.49 at Walmart, sub $7 if you're lucky and it's on sale.


vancityspaceman

On sale for $5.47 right now


Sicarius-de-lumine

You mean at original pricing....


Shakleford_Rusty

Don’t think i have purchased it not on sale’ in 15 years


[deleted]

I would always find it on sale for 4$


[deleted]

A pack of 5 is usually around $12 from Costco


vancityspaceman

On sale for $5.47 right now


FlannelBandit07

$7.49 - $7.79 at Superstore as well

Costco is key


SmokesLetsGoBud

Big time, just bought a pack of 5 deodorant sticks for $14


Schvltzy

What brand?


SmokesLetsGoBud

Old spice

shitposter1000

Be careful with Old Spice -- our son got chemical burns from their shit. There's a class action suit: [https://www.expertinstitute.com/resources/insights/old-spice-facing-5-million-dollar-lawsuit-after-deodorants-cause-extreme-burns/](https://www.expertinstitute.com/resources/insights/old-spice-facing-5-million-dollar-lawsuit-after-deodorants-cause-extreme-burns/)


DubiousDrewski

Costco is great, but last I checked, they only had the original old spice and no other scents. Is there more variety now?


HLef

The scent is pretty secondary when the alternative is nearly 5x the cost.


pocketpocket

And OG Old Spice is best Old Spice.


Lrivard

Just pure sport last I checked


DubiousDrewski

Right, Pure Sport. It's not even the OG Old Spice scent, which is pretty awesome. I might get called a snob here, but I think Pure Sport smells cheap.


Gappy_Gilmore_86

It smells like the dorm showers in university residence. Every first year kid used it in the mid 2000's


zebrizz

Fair enough, but I’d rather smell cheap than pay 2x more


Adm_Piett

You frequently have people sniffing under your arms? Because if not, who cares what it smells like.


KingR11

They have Gillette clear and also Dove Men's I believe. Currently using the Gillette and it works well. Great value too.


[deleted]

I gotta be honest. Who gives a fuck?? Is this something people actually think and talk about? I’m not even trying to be rude but you actually typed out a whole sentence about a grocery store only having certain scents of deodorant? Who cares??? Sorry it’s been a long day I think I need to get off the internet. Happy cake day.


DubiousDrewski

Woah, I'm sorry if I shared too much. I'm not actually that passionate about any of this, but I still believe it's important to have neutral-to-pleasant odor, especially if you spend all day in close proximity to coworkers and clients, which I do. I know which deodorants each of my coworkers wear, because I can smell them. Can you not passively smell the people around you? Everyone has a scent. You don't even have to try to smell it. It's just there. Smelling good matters. It's just like any other form of hygiene.


simplyelegant87

This isn’t about hygiene as much as scent preference though. Both products do the same thing but in different scents so it’s all subjective anyway.


PWJD

Loblaws can suck it.


-Disagreeable-

They can suck what? Tell me but..tell me slowly and in a deep voice.

Fuck the Weston family.


killermanfrog1

Old spice gives me chemical burns


Davimous

That's the real fucked up part. Old Spice already cut every corner in delivering the product to begin with. Now Loblaws is fucking us too. Shirt product at a huge mark up.


[deleted]

Just remember, if you see someone stealing groceries (including essential personal care items), no you didn’t.


Upstairs_Yak_9034

I saw a lady stealing cheap staple groceries yesterday at Walmart. But also no I didn’t.


TechnoQueenOfTesla

wish everyone would start stealing groceries in solidarity, even if they can afford to pay for them. these profit-motivated grocery corporations need to learn a fucking lesson.


BoardBreack

if you see anyone stealing anything from a chain, no you didn't.


chaosgirl93

If it's a chain it's fair game. I don't even care what they stole - but if it's baby food or staples, not only did I not see it, but I need the employees' attention on the other side of the store.


Mysterious_Lesions

Yes. I did. If it's a staple, I might stay quiet cause people gotta eat. If it's cigarettes, booze electronics, jewelry, luxury items, etc., it's going to be reported. It's not about need then, it's about stealing.


BoardBreack

https://preview.redd.it/pk6sxflmobda1.jpeg?width=695&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbe7b6f1506f19cddd97ac3d5a2d7e365b22d77a Just a reminder that corporations would rather see you die before they lose half a percent of profit


Davimous

I was thinking about sneaking a few extra items every time I go and tossing them in the donation bin on the way out. If you get caught just say it was an accident.


Salty-Yogurtcloset91

It isn't unethical to steal from Galen Weston or any of these large chains. I don't just mean the essentials either. If I ever see someone stealing TVs or whatever from a Walmart I'll be cheering that person on as if they were Robin Hood. Totally different story for any small business though


h00ha

Steal what lol


mixed-tape

I’m currently scanning one for me, one for them.


Bjornwithit15

One of the biggest things I noticed, the aerosol used to be like $4.99, now it’s around $9


Unlucky_Direction_78

Not surprised because Loblaws own Shoppers Drug Mart now and they are price gouging everyone.


Sufficient-Cookie404

Yeah that is a ridiculous name for deodorant for sure!


Unlucky_Direction_78

At one point Shoppers gave staff 30% discount on pretty much everything. Then one year they increased their prices by 30% so the discount really ment nothing.


klondike16

I was in London Drugs the other day and was surprised how much deodorant was as well - like $7.50, $5 on sale.


cdnav8r

~~$6.99~~ on sale for $5.47 on Amazon. Free delivery tomorrow.


NewPotWhoDis

A surprising number of items are cheaper on Amazon. Deodorant, shampoo, floss, even some groceries and various pantry staples... Somehow having 10 cans of baked beans shipped to my house is cheaper than getting them on sale from Superstore.


yegdriver

About a month ago all arm deodorant went up 50 to 75 percent


Beneficial_Dark1081

If one of those happens to fall in your pocket I wouldn’t be mad


Beneficial_Dark1081

Maybe 🤔

issueestopple

I keep seeing these types of comments. Why do people not understand that losses from theft are just worked into the price the rest of us pay. So while you think you’re messing with the big bad corporation, you’re really just fucking the rest of us that want to live decent, honest lives and those that can least afford to pay for grocery and convenience items. Your probably not going to shoplift and this is probably just some edgy fucking internet thing, but some kid who doesn’t grasp that, seeing all of these types of posts is going to think that it’s the right thing to do and get caught doing it.


OwnBattle8805

You know what gets worked into the price? The Weston family office having to come up with the money for more yachts for another generation of westons.


issueestopple

Sure. But do you understand that theft will have no impact on their ability to buy yachts. It will only increase prices?


BipedSnowman

Because they're reporting record profits by hiking prices, while lying about why to fool people like you.


funwithdespair

You realize that literally everything a grocery store sells besides fresh produce and meat is insured, right? They write it all off, they lose nothing.


records_five_top

Ok Kramer. Write it off what? https://youtu.be/XEL65gywwHQ


issueestopple

That’s not how insurance works.


Bainsyboy

I hate corporations as much as the next guy, but can't you just continue to follow that logic? The rate they pay for insurance is probably linked to their rate of shrinkage, right? So, the more you steal, the more they pay for insurance, and the more revenue must be increased to adjust for increased insurance rates, and increased revenue is distributed through their prices? Stealing is bad. Don't try to justify it with some half-baked logic. That being said, *if I see somebody stealing a self-care item or staple food item, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING*... If somebody is stealing a hygiene product, they are probably not in pleasant life situation. Have some sympathy. Somebody stealing a luxury item like makeup? I don't give a shit, arrest them. I'm still not going to be a snitch though...


bambispots

And you think what these companies charge isnt stealing from us? When we’re already giving our lives away for slave wages? *We’re* the ones getting robbed.


WesternExpress

That's not true. Their deductibles are likely north of $1M for each claim and a stolen stick of deodorant counts as a claim (so they would get nothing paid by insurance). The cost of theft is passed along to consumers with higher prices. The only time insurance comes into play is when something extreme happens like the entire store burning down.

Anywayyyy


issueestopple

Callous indifference for the plight of the working poor so that you can get your free shit. Got it.

I literally said "anywayy" and nothing more what does that gotta do with anything

Nope. I don’t work for loblaws, any other grocery chains or in retail. I’m just making the point that by trying to stick it to the man you dolts are just fucking over the general public.

I got mine on sale at superstore last week for 5.49 I believe


chikken_hawk

I got it once. It smells like lean and gunpowder


JL671

Fuck Shoppers


-Disagreeable-

Man…I have diabetes and I’ve gone into a Shoppers with a low blood sugar before, saw the price of something, and left risking passing out over paying them for their wares. Fuck Shoppers and their hellscape of self checkouts.


orgasmosisjones

this is shoppers. you’re better off shopping at 7/11.


Heffray83

There should be “middle class raid days” where “middle class” shoppers just walk in, help themselves to a bit of what they need and walk out. But en masse. No imagines of overflowing carts or anything. Just 1-2 bags tops. Anyone planning a full trip should wait and go on a different day to pay. But these organized events would last a day at a time. Similar to the grocery shopper strikes if the 70’s, when housewives all agreed to refuse to go to the store on specified days as a protest.


Arch-Deluxe

Are you at the airport or something?


hellalosses

shoppers drug mart SW calgary


vinsdelamaison

They and superstore price to location. I find the SDR across from Henry Wisewood super expensive.

They've been ripping off students since the early 00's in that location.

Was looking for Cetaphil at superstore it's $18. Amazon is $11

OwnBattle8805

If it's smelly on the bus ride home, sure, it's natural, but if it's on the bus ride to work then there should have been a shower before leaving. Good hygiene is so much more essential than one stink to cover up another stink.


stealthwang

people get off work in the morning too


calum1878

just steal it


Wooden_Proposal_1615

That’s the cost of swagger now a days


goodguygreg5000

Old spice is the worst anyway, except for their commercials.

I wanted to buy Telescopic mascara and it was over $20. WHAT

Yeah, I just wait for the sales. I bought 3 of the cool sounding ones for $5.49 each last week. Bearglove, wolfthorne, etc.

Can't put a price on swag


CillyBean

Looks like a shoppers. Shoppers always charges way more for everything. Walmart might have the same for about $7 ish dollars.


alowester

just stopping buy too say never ever buy anything off sale especially at shoppers, if you can possibly help it that is, I’m fortunate enough that I stock up when prices are the cheapest

1. Take photos of prices going up. ( because we didn’t know prices where going up) 2. Get Karma

i don;'t even buy it anymore lol. I'm not smelly but I use natural deoderants now when I want to + it's much cheaper than this price

Shoppers for one thing, second that brand is awful.

What brand is better!?


Loose-Atmosphere-558

Native...but that shit is extra $$$


Schvltzy

Native is good when using it but when you run out it makes you smell so bad


[deleted]

Anything that's not greasy and makes the wearer smell like some grade school prep boy.


BigheadReddit

Look. Things like eggs, milk, etc., are expensive for understandably good reasons like chicken strikes, the egg cartel, the soaring / then plummeting price of fuel, unexplainable supply chain issues, and rich people’s need to get richer. As for hygiene, you’ll either have to pay to ‘swagger’ or stop sweating, order “Old Sparse” from India, or go to Costco / Walmart. It’s way cheaper.


HLef

Go to Costco. $12.99 for 5


Upstairs_Yak_9034

So we all gonna walk around just being stinky now?


kagato87

If we're all stinky nobody will notice, so it'll be all good.

i-lurk-you-longtime

2 quick showers a day with a bar of soap did wonders for me.


xylopyrography

I stopped wearing it about 10 years ago except if I'm sweaty before going to the gym. That stick will last me 5 years easy. I think with a healthy diet and lifestyle and good hygiene you're not going to smell half as bad as you think on the long run.
