Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these “three packs” of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.
This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?
What’s the irony?
Are we assuming that since this person purchases smoked salmon that they’re immune to, ignorant of, or in favor of lower purchasing power? Are we assuming this is a luxury purchase, so they are not entitled to slumming it up with the rest of us?
Let this person just enjoy their fish, whatever little amount they’re getting for $10.
