At the supermarket checkout on Thursday I picked up the weekly flyer to help distract me from the pain of $165 in one small shopping basket. This evening I decided it would be amusing to compare this to the flyer from our local Save On foods in Port Coquitlam, here are some of my findings.
525g box of Cheerios - BC $4.99, Iqaluit $12.69
930g tin of Ground Coffee - BC $12.99, Iqaluit $20.19
Fresh Mango - BC 99cents, Iqaluit 600g frozen Mango chunks $6.89
Toilet Paper (12 double rolls) - BC $5.99, Iqaluit $21.99
Coke 24 cans - BC $5.99, Iqaluit $23.99 (this is really cheap so Blaine has gone out to stock up!)
250g Philadelphia Cream Cheese - BC 2 for $5, Iqaluit 1 for $4.99
Hot Dog Buns 12 pack - BC $2.39, Iqaluit $2.69 (although the last pack we got were mouldy already)
500g Kraft Cheese Slices - BC $2.99 , Iqaluit $7.99
This afternoon we went clam digging, I will post clam digging 101 some time this week.
