A Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario is being accused of price gouging on social media after one customer shared a photo of the store’s exorbitant peanu…
I’ve heard Shoppers described as “surge pricing for Loblaws”. It has corner store/gas station prices for grocery items. Don’t shop there.
Fuck Shoppers. High dispensing fees mean literally anybody else can do it better. Switch to your local pharmacy.
Shoppers is not a grocery store, so of course they’re going to charge more for things like peanut butter, when compared to grocery stores like No Frills or Costco. You’re paying extra for convenience, and they’re selling lower volumes. A better comparison would be peanut butter at convenience stores.
Nobody is debating that they can charge more, but to charge double is absurd
Keep up the boycott!
The food basics near me rips you off a different way. They purposely leave expired items on the shelf long past their date. Every single trip I find multiple items that are weeks past and they’re still front and center. If you don’t check the dates religiously, you end up with a few things that are expired. I’ve complained to the store and head office and they don’t even respond, they couldn’t care less.
They also never clean the produce racks, I’ve been seeing the same muck and stains for months
And they’ve been selling frozen/thawed bread as fresh. When I go buy English muffins or fresh bread. I find many of the bread packages are cold and half frozen
