Over at the Real Canadian Superstore this morning and these prices kinda stood out
Brisket 1.02kg or 2.4lbs $41 and change
Chicken the whole bunker was priced at $45-50 for a flat of chicken. It was Maple Leaf Prime brand but gee whiz
I guess two things come to mind, the citizens are now a captive audience as they can't jump over into the States, and with rising healthcare costs they are collecting it somehow. I miss going up north, but prices like that would make me pack a sack lunch!
Maple Leaf would be the Caddy of meats up here, there were flats of No Name chicken breast in another bunker foe $25ish per flat.
I just found at $50 a flat that's.....rape.....
We rarely buy beef because its so expensive, is chicken next?

I'm thinking meat packers have spent millions to take Covid precautions and handed the costs right on down the line to consumers.
I get that but they could have eased us into it instead of a gut punch.
Like I said above there was another bunker of chicken breasts that was probably half the price on this bunker. I know which one I'm parking at next time.
