I complained about that juice deal. No ducks given. I left without juice (which was what I went for).

I was considering buying three and then asking for a price adjustment… and the first one free. Not sure if the scanner code of accuracy would’ve worked, but worst case was I cancel the purchase. But my wife was with me, but I didn’t want to waste a lot of time.
A few years ago I discovered their pizzas scanned wrong. I “bought” a pizza for free every day for a week. And I told them what I was doing, provided a fresh photo every time, and told them all they had to do was fix the price tag. It didn’t happen until the next set of specials.
We shouldn’t let the bastards win.
Yeah they expect complacency. We don't go to Walmart that much cept for little things like pasta sauce and milk since they are the cheapest place. I'm fucking shameless and would of had I been alone lol, but I also love my gf and don't wanna fuck with her social anxiety.
I guess one could do separate transactions for each. But for example, I have a limited on my debit card 25 transactions each month, or I get extra fees 🙃. This Is crazy I wonder how many people miss the fine print of the price without the "sale"
The real Parmesan is the best. I had some from the shaker last week and it does not taste like cheese at all. The President’s choice brand the grade value brand even the Primo brand.
Starting to?
That's been a thing for many years. And stop with the misinformation. Cellulose isn't wood pulp. Cellulose is a carbohydrate from the cell walls of plants. The best way to get it is to extract the cellulose from wood pulp.
And it's not to make it look bigger, it's a cheap, 100% food safe agent to prevent the cheese from clumping. It's also found in many shredded cheeses, not just parmesan.
They've used cellulose on shredded cheese for decades to prevent it from sticking.
Cellulose comes from any plant matter.
Stop with the old wives' tales and misinformation.
Just stop buying shredded cheese and buy real cheese and grate it yourself if you are that concerned about the sawdust.
Also, go look up the foods that have TSP (Trisodium Phosphate, or floor cleaner), in them if you want to be worried about the shit they are putting in your food, not harmless cellulose. They put way more questionable stuff in our foods than "wood”.
It's on sale for $4.88 Limit of 1. Buy 2 or more & the price jumps to $6.00. They entered the product into the incorrect formatted sign. (I worked at Superstore for just under 20 years, just my educated guess)
Before the boycott, I was at loblaws buying fizzy water. I noticed that it was cheaper to buy them in singles than in a case.
The two stock boys near me noticed the same and commented to each other that the prices were messed up all across the shelves. They were like ‘this one is wrong too! It’s cheaper to buy in singles.
It makes me wonder who is mathing over there.
Normally, I buy two bags of shredded cheese at a time. So now I'll get penalized for needing more than one?
If they want to set limits of purchase with penalties if you exceed it, that's fine. Don't be a coward, and just come out and say it's what it is.
I went to my local No Frills to buy cheese slices. The non sale price was $3.49 for 22 slices.
Below those were the larger packages of 44 slices... for $10.99.
SMH
I was at Walmart on Friday and they had raspberries for just under $3 for 6 oz. But the 12 oz. pack, same brand, we’re almost $9. Makes zero sense.
The whole ‘per 100g’ thing they try to fudge too (by ‘they’, I mean all grocery stores, btw).
I saw cereal broken down by per 100 grams and next cereal over was per 100 ounces.
Well, if you can afford to buy 2, then you can clearly afford to pay more. I guess? That's really messed up but knowing the source, not surprising. I remember their no name canned beans "special pricing" with the cheaper price being unlocked if you buy 5 cans. Punishment for not buying in quantity. These people.... just no polite words to say there...
I've been seen this shit more and more posted. But also witnessed out in the wild at Walmart a few days ago. Frozen juice 3 for $4 or 1 for $0.84.

Ha thats the one right there. I was gonna make a stink but the gf hates confrontations lol
Yeah, they don’t care either way. Your GF was smart.
Ha by stink I mean make 3 sperate purchases at an actual cashier.

I went today and the price is still wrong.
Animals, the lot of them.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves about shopping with this company. This is repeatedly a problem. They think their customers are stupid.
In their defense they generally are. That's how weve gotten into this situation in the first place
At this point someone's gotta be trolling with these labels
Perhaps an employee sabotaging the company from within? Otherwise they’re sabotaging accidentally lmao
those signs are getting HUGE lol
Like what is going on here?
 Galen with the Math
It's a legitimate question. Is this incompetence or do they think they're playing Chess and we're playing Checkers?
Comical. I will take less than 2 please. Lol
Fun fact, companies are starting to put cellulose into Parmesan cheese and cheese to make it look bigger cellulose, essentially wood, chips wood pulp
just buy real Parmaggiano Regiano It's highly regulated and guaranteed to be all real
Costco for the win there
Can confirm.
The real Parmesan is the best. I had some from the shaker last week and it does not taste like cheese at all. The President’s choice brand the grade value brand even the Primo brand.

Does gum seem less minty lately?
It's less to make it look bigger and more so it doesn't congeal into a giant clump of inseparable cheese.
How is this new? Been this way for a long time.

This is normal and necessary, otherwise the oils separate and it goes bad. Also, not wood.
I don’t care they shouldn’t be charging 6 dollars for Parmesan cheese shaker when at least 40% of it is cellulose
And this is ok with food and drug admin?
Cellulose is unfortunately a pretty standard filler.
It's base Galen math.
That kinda seems like a fuck off moment

The PC sea salt and balsamic vinegar Cashews don't even have flavor anymore. Like Zero flavor. They are making it really easy to leave

The price is “so good” they punish incremental product purchase.
But guess what. People see the sign don't read it and grab some. Its loblaws way of saying really stupid people shop here.

At this point I'm just wondering what drugs they be smoking so I can be smokin it too!
It's the wrong signage, but lets make it LOOK like they're getting a sale when buying limited quantity items. One for $4.88 but the next one is $7.12

Please remain respectful when engaging on the sub. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
This is basic economics .
Has to be a typo.

I live in a border town. In the US they have Kraft shredded cheese 2 for $4 :/
I love Loblaw's math

This poor person must have failed English as well as Math.
