Even though prices have shot up for things like almond, soy, and oat milk, the size of refrigerated versions have always been 1.89L.
But I noticed some strangeness on the Walmart (Canada) website while building my grocery list where one brand, that is priced less than another brand, had a higher cost per 100ml.
As I looked into it, I noticed that several varieties have gone from 1.89L to 1.75L.
I’m getting real sick and tired of this.
That’s super frustrating! I’ve had that happen a few times (Not with Costco) and I’m either forced to leave the store empty-handed or pay more than I expected.
And never mind delivery charge, places around here charge you for picking the stuff up! Unless you “subscribe” to their pick-up/delivery plan. What in the actual hell???
Ikr? And it’s not just groceries, movie theaters also charge on online ticket ordering fee, so we end up driving the 2-ish miles to use their kiosk (basically the same thing) to avoid the stupid fee. In fact, we go to movie theaters less because of it.
I know some people will just pay it, but I’m not willing to, and it saddens me that it’s probably more lucrative to do these anti-consumer things.
