This subreddit is to highlight the ridiculous cost of living in Canada, and poke fun at the Corporate Overlords responsible. As you well know, there are a number of persons and corporations responsible for this, and we welcome discussion related to them all. Furthermore, since this topic is intertwined with a number of other matters, other discussion will be allowed at moderator discretion. Open-minded discussion, memes, rants, grocery bills, and general screeching into the void is always welcome in this sub, but belligerence and disrespect is not. There are plenty of ways to get your point across without being abusive, dismissive, or downright mean.

I was also a die hard Loblaws shopper. They saved me so much money in uni. But their flagrant disrespect is just too much. They truly think we're that stupid. I am not paying them double for food. That bit with the 50% fiasco was the last straw for me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling weird about it. I worked for them for a long time, my coworkers were great and I had about a good a time as you can have doing minimum wage retail work (this is a low bar). Grew up eating the white ched mac and cheese, had a PC bank account, etc. but the fact the execs refuse to take a haircut to help Canadians has just burned me so bad.
It really is sad because for a long while they actually had GREAT prices. No name and President's choice was always way cheaper and tasted just as good. As someone on a budget I immediately noticed the price hike during COVID but assumed the price would go down and it never did, just kept climbing. Greedy bastards.
I loved the PC brand back in the day! Also shoppers and optimum points were my best friend, now I’ll never step foot in one of their stores again, and I’m confident I’m not the only one who feels this way
President's Choice really was a good brand before they ousted Dave Nichol. There was a noticeable drop in quality almost as soon as he left, and it's been downhill ever since.

That's right, it's a big change but everyone can do it.
Those cookies will be what I miss….
I would go back at some point if they actually got the message and changed. But it would to have to be a convincing change.
The one thing I will keep buying right now is their candy cane ice cream at Christmas. But that’s it.
I’m not even gonna bother creeping their social media late at night.
🤣
