Same in Walmart. The Nutrilait 1L chocolate milk was regular at $0.99 in Walmart Décarie (Montreal), and the next day on Thursday (new flyer day), the flyer says $1.29 "on sale".
Sale price higher at Loblaws

that is what I am trying to say. If a person can figure out what the price per unit, then we know that we are paying the same unit price no matter we buy 1 or 2 units.

They will sell way more because it's advertised lots of people are convinced they will be saving money.

Today I spotted some of those misleading yellow "FINAL" signs on a huge display of lemons in the produce aisle. Yeah, 'cause y'know, I'm sure they're clearing them out, never to be sold again.
Shoppers also gotta watch what happens when the Scanner Price Accuracy Code is invoked. On a recent trip to "Bloblaws", I had three of a particular item that upon checkout didn't scan at the correct sale price, so a supervisor came to the till and authorized a price adjustment by entering her magic password. Afterwards, I noticed that on my receipt, one of the three items had a separate line item rang in as "scan code free" that effectively made it $0, as was supposed to happen. But they still charged tax on the full price of the free item, treating the scanning code of practice as more like a coupon. Upon reading the actual code, it surprisingly doesn't say what happens with sales tax. I'm suspicious of Galen's empire because once, when I pointed out a similar shelf price discrepancy in Walmart, they just didn't bother scanning the free item at all.
