It's going to be more than that by the time we consumers get to pay for the finished goods. Let's not forget eggs have been increased multiple times the past year and are slated for more as well.
The gov't is clearly anti-cartel. What prevents them from busting this cartel?
You price match a store in SK in your own city…matthewtravels wrote: ↑ Pricematch in SK to a store in ON? I don't know that the store will really go for it... but I'm interested in how it worked for you.
Depends on your definition of "cheese". If hydrogenated palm oil and orange food colour, with a dash of wax, is what you consider a cheese, then you're good to go. If your taste buds can discern the subtle nuances
Didn’t say anybody had no name bars… independents have shreds on…matthewtravels wrote: ↑ Uh. Who has No Name Bars of Cheese for $2.99 this week? Cause nobody in Saskatoon has it advertised that I see.

That is EXACTLY what my first post said. Which you replied to about price-matching. ??????

between Roquefort and Stilton, then you should probably give this an easy pass. This "cheese" was a pass for me after the last time I bought it on sale. If I recall correctly it was 1.2kg for $3.99. I can't imagine they have improved the quality since.
There should be something posted around the cashier area that outlines their price match policy and which stores they will PM against. There should also be a posting about what happens when the scanned price comes up incorrect and what they have to honour...ie free item if under $10 and a percentage off if over $10 etc...greygables wrote: ↑ Zehrs in Ontario has both on sale too.... I tried to price match at No Frills but no luck as they said we don't price match member pricing. I'm pretty sure they have before. I just went across town and picked them up for the member pricing.
Agreed 100%. These cheap cheeses are not Balderson 2year aged cheddar calibre!alpha2omega wrote: ↑ lol, very true.
All of these cheap block cheeses are pretty much the same. I don't notice any difference across brands to be honest. A slight exception might be the PC Extra Old Cheddar, it actually seems to approach the quality of a real properly aged cheese. The rest are really "cheap cheeses", filler cheese used in a recipe and not a stand alone product you'd serve on a platter to people you like. Anything under a penny per gram is a decent price for these utility grade cheeses.
That PC one comes close. I don't know who makes it but it's probably close to 2 year old from the way it tastes and crumbles. Costco carries Balderson and what appears to be a re-wrapped Balderson that's decent. They also carry an old cheddar made in Canada, Winnipeg maybe, that's good. They're quality inexpensive cheeses but I think they're closer to 2 cents per gram on sale.monkimajikalle wrote: ↑ Agreed 100%. These cheap cheeses are not Balderson 2year aged cheddar calibre!
Yes they should for sure... The cashier may have well been right and I think many in the past just let go but this time it was nomonkimajikalle wrote: ↑ There should be something posted around the cashier area that outlines their price match policy and which stores they will PM against.

Both my local RCSS and No Frills have both of these posted.greygables wrote: ↑ Yes they should for sure... The cashier may have well been right and I think many in the past just let go but this time it was no
I have never tried the PC old but will keep in mind for the future. Given the size of Loblaw/PC brand I'm sure they are using one of the few large dairy (cartel) cheese makers. I saw an aged white cheddar at Costco the other day and it was from a brand I had never heard of before from Manitoba so I guess that's the Winnipeg one you mention.alpha2omega wrote: ↑ That PC one comes close.

It's too bad Pine River closed. They made a 7 year old cheddar that was so good. It's hard to find good local cheese here in Ontario anymore. I guess Quebec still has a decent cheese industry.
