Up untill a week ago Nofrills carried these “three packs” of salmon for $10. Now the same pack contains two for the same $10. I thought it felt light when I bought it yesterday.

This comes to about $0.02 increase per gram, and a $1.10 price increase overall. Or a 11% increase in price overall. Meanwhile inflation is at 6-7%?

    There’s this fast food fried chicken chain called Raising Canes, used to serve massive strips. Now the price is 50% more expensive and 50% less chicken. They’re extremely tiny, never going back again… yet all the zombies who love that place are relentlessly spending their money there anyway.

    Edit: grammar

      Tried them once, succumbing to the hype, they didn’t taste like anything at all

        I think it’s done like that on purpose so that their Canes sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting.

          That’s what I told my girlfriend when we had them for the first time a couple weeks ago. Chicken is fine, sauce is dope.

      We tried that recently and I was disappointed. For the price I could just buy my own chicken and cook it and have it for a week.
