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%?
Complaining about the price of Smoked Salmon, Oh the irony.
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.
Exactly.
A little bit of prepackaged smoked salmon is not exactly a giant splurge.
Agreed. That dudes argument gives me avocado toast vibes.
LOL! Sometimes the avocados are on sale and we get more than we need. So, I decided to try this avocado toast thing everyone was talking about.
It is good stuff!
It’s just the cost of a banana!
For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.
Traditionally, samon was considered a pauper food.
