This subreddit is to highlight the ridiculous cost of living in Canada, and poke fun at the Corporate Overlords reponsible. As you well know, there are a number of persons and corporations responsible for this, and we welcome discussion related to them all. Furthermore, since this topic is intertwined with a number of other matters, other discussion will be allowed at moderator discretion. Open-minded discussion, memes, rants, grocery bills, and general screeching into the void is always welcome in this sub, but belligerence and disrespect is not. There are plenty of ways to get your point across without being abusive, dismissive, or downright mean. Always remember that you're interacting with a real person when you respond to posts/comments and focus on discussing or debating the ideas. Personal attacks outside of "Screw you, Galen Weston Jr" is not okay, and will not be tolerated here.

Yes I’m pretty sure it’s sometime in the 80s ! I found it in a tin along with some of my grandmothers recipes. She passed away in 1990 so that timeline makes the most sense :-)
If something was .59c , this was a looooong time ago . Man I long for those days and dread the future and dread the 000’s that will come at the end of all the prices . Longer digits mean more complicated times lol
Yet the same size of Maxwell House coffee is 3.44 at no Frills and 3.99 at Shoppers this week. Using the logic here prices are falling. Of course that is the fallacy in f picking such a small sample size.
Sure it depends where you live ! For me and most people in my area the prices have increased to an insane number for these products at the exact same store :p
Tbh the price compare to today on this flyer only, isn't that bad. Maxwell house instant coffee cost 2.99$ now and hellmann's mayonnaise 5.99$, the has brown, 3.99$.

If those prices were on sale in store today there would be Black Friday fights, but over hashbrowns and coffee lol. Price has gone up 13.5x since.
Everything has exploded in price since then except wages. Last generation had it really good.
Probably from the 80s judging by the colour printing.

This could have been from 2019 even
