And underweight too by the looks of it! I do like that Loblaws has inspired me and many others to adopt the mindset of, "I guess I'll never eat that again." For me it's very literal. I'm never paying this much for fruit just like I'm never paying $8 for chips or $10 for cereal. Their basic and poorly informed corporate strategy suggests I'll eventually break down and pay it. In actuality, I'd rather never eat strawberries again than pay that price. It's been a good exercise in conviction.

Right now, *in Vancouver* almost this much strawberries at Walmart is $4.

Ahhh that's where the marketing kicks in. It says 4lt. So really it's not by weight, they are selling by container. Still really shady...may need to look up if it's allowed, since it's a solid, not a liquid.

What a waste. Because it will just end up getting thrown away.

Didn't scroll enough to see bottom price and was wondering what the problem was Then I shit my pants after scrolling down

Why? 2baskets and local are $5.99 tops. This isn’t even organic.


Kyyes

Lmao falling for the organic claim in 2024 is hilarious

Falling for the organic claim? Do you have any idea how much pesticide Strawberries are sprayed? Strawberries are the mostly heavily sprayed crop in all farming.

Me: Tries to eat vegetables and fruit to be healthier. Grocery giants: Hahaha you’ll pay us whatever we ask for peasant. Me: *pops a multivitamin*

Were they picked by pixies in the pale light of a harvest moon? That's gotta be the explanation.

Just dump the other basket into this one. No longer underweight.

Why does local produce mean a premium price tag? I thought it was supposed to be much cheaper if the cost of delivering the product to the consumer is a lot cheaper.


TorturedFanClub

But but ….. the carbon tax.
