The Loblaw grocery chain overcharged customers by selling underweighted meat across 80 stores for an undisclosed period that ended in December 2023, a CBC News investigation has found.
Went to buy a pound of ground beef a couple of months ago. Normally around 480-500g per package. Saw the price. Then saw the weight. It was 350g. That’s over 100g short of the usual weight.
Recipes usually call for 1lb / 500g. For a family of four, that’s a whole fucking portion!!!
No wonder people are getting scurvy in this country. We’re being gouged for increasingly less food!
I’ve been boycotting Loblaws since the movement started, exempt for a few rare times that I had to shop at one. And I’m going to continue my boycott. This is ridiculous.
