Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it’s best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

    My wife and I have been spitefully avoiding loblaws for a while now. We get most of our meat & produce from the weekend market, bread from the local bakery, and anything else from the Asian/Indian supermarket or Metro if it can’t be found elsewhere.

    The last straw was the prison gates and the receipt checking. Show some dignity.

        It depends. I’d say on average it’s higher for “convenience” items but the cost of milk, cheese, rice, pantry staples, etc seems to be about the same.

        If there was a food basics nearby I’d probably go there, but in my city that means driving another 15 minutes.
