Femtosecond posted:Tbh BC is so much in the iron grip of Pattison Foods that if we had more Loblaws it would actually increase competition substantially (except that it doesn't seem to matter). Wait the billboard Pattison? What the gently caress? This country really is owned by like 5 noble families. Can’t wait until the Irvings make me pay for daily oxygen rations.

On researching brands I'm annoyed to find out that Thrifty's, which I thought was a quirky Vancouver Island chain, was acquired by Sobeys a few years ago.

Jim Pattison owns like half of Vancouver and a chunk of BC politicians went to work for the Pattison group after leaving office. Yeah it's basically a noble family at this point.

Wholesale club is my go to, this is going to hurt. I most recently got 2L of capers for $16, five times cheaper than at the regular grocery store. arugula is 30% cheaper. ricotta is half price. as are potatoes.

Precambrian Video Games posted:My best alternative is Whole Foods, which is better albeit not necessarily cheaper. Sticking it to Galen Weston Jr by buying Bezos instead feels a little hollow, though. Yeah, it's not Loblaw but it's hard to call it a victory.
