A Canadian shopper's post about the price of turkey at a Loblaw-owned store has raised the eyebrows of many customers.
Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.
Dollar per kg conversion for those numbers, this is /Canada on .ca after all:
The Turkey the dad bought last year: $8.82/kg
The Butterball in the picture may be as cheap as $7.45/kg, or as expensive as $9.11/kg
Walmart $6.61/kg
across Ontario at Independent $5.51/kg
other Loblaw stores are $4.40/kg
Were all the prices you saw the same brand?
I don’t eat animals, so I don’t really have a solid price in my head for what it should cost. I do remember as a child that Butterballs were more expensive, so we never had one.

I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg
Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.
Yes, all the exact same product as the one discussed in the article.
(Except my dad’s last year, I have no clue what he bought.)
