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%?

Don’t be to humble to go to a food pantry. It’s food for people who need it. I’ve used them. I’m not ashamed.
I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.
This is something the government should be doing though, rather than having to rely on charities and kind individuals. In most developed countries, the government has good programs to assist people in need, ensuring they can get basic groceries. The US is an outlier.
I mean the government is doing it, that’s what disability is. It’s just not kept up with inflation in a lot of areas.
What I meant is that the government should provide it and ensure you can actually live off of it.
Oh then I would not agree the US is an outlier in that, or at least not near the only exception.
