Shoppers is not a grocery store, so of course they’re going to charge more for things like peanut butter, when compared to grocery stores like No Frills or Costco. You’re paying extra for convenience, and they’re selling lower volumes. A better comparison would be peanut butter at convenience stores.

Nobody is debating that they can charge more, but to charge double is absurd
