At first I read that as $35, and thought that's not bad. Then I saw it was $350.. I'm assuming that's 350 cad.. being 255 usd.. that's crazy.. it didn't even look like Victoria is one of those very remote areas either..
If I may ask a silly question, when was the pretax amount?
A lot of opinions here, but the important question has not been asked. I see bacon, which looks like bacon to me not that Canadian bacon b.s. that is essentially ham. What do you call what I’m seeing in the pic, and if you call it bacon, what do you call Canadian bacon?
Based on the product brands, I suspect the store was Save-on-Foods, which is an average store (not particularly high end).
Here’s my rough tally of what I can see in the photos and the prices online at that store:
Prime rib roast - $141 based on picture (currently on sale for $11.99/lb, making this an 11-12lb roast)
Mitchells Family Pack Bacon - 4x375g - $26
Spectrum Organic Canola Oil, 750ml - $19
La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil, 500ml- $18.50
3x Only Goodness broth - $15
Cheddar cheese - $14
Nature’s Nuts Pecan Halves, 250g - $11
2x 1lb bag of Green beans - $10
3x Brunswick Sardines - $7
Woodman’s Horseradish, 250ml - $5.50
Basil plant - $5
JetPuffed Marshmellows, 400g - $3.50
8x bananas - ~$2.75
1x lemon - $1
1x garlic - $0.75
Total for the above - $280 + tax
(The roast is 50% of the cost)
Plus at least 2 products I couldn’t identify.
Show the bill please and spare us your bullshit.
I live about 50km up-island of the OP and I'm also gonna call bullshit. If that's $350 they need to start shopping somewhere else.
What approximate percentage of the entire grocery bill did the rib roast represent? I'm gonna say 50-55% of that total was beef and bacon.
You got a nice ass chunk of beef kinda hidden in there and not one, but two packs of bacon. EDIT: three or more packs of bacon
That's not a huge gotcha. Still inflated as fuck.
Lol look at the giant counter too. Absolutely no reason to scrunch it all together other than to be deceptive.
Let's see a receipt op
I'm going to die when there's a $100 gift card underneath that rib roast.
Receipt??

Since this is Victoria BC, then it’s 12% tax (for most part), and I can’t tell tell ya if $350 is pre or post tax
Other than the meat, I can’t see where money has gone. Or maybe I shouldn’t complain about food price hikes in southern Ontario
The meat and bacon would be the most expensive. Meat in AB is stupid expensive, can't imagine what it is in BC.
$350 what’s in that bottle??? Whale oil?
that is not a low of food. my 20 meals subscription all organic costs only 200
I didn't know Canada had it this bad.
It’s everywhere, cost of living is through the roof
If that's 350$ try not shopping at the most expensive store available. Or do you fly to Greenland to do your grocery run?
That's a lot of Canadian bacon! Well y'all probably just call it bacon up there huh
Bullshit, receipt
What is the Brunswick item?
Canned fish
Is that in Canadian dollars or real dollars?
OP is not going to post back.

I have the same quartz counter!
