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%?
Two of the largest agricultural producers in the world are fighting. Food prices will rise.
How much wheat is usually in salmon?
You’re still eating salmon that contains wheat? Come on and get with the times. You need to be eating gluten free salmon it’s much better for you.
salmon does not get priced independently from all other foodstuffs
The Ukraine salmon, you mean?
Well shit, if that’s the point you were trying to make – as opposed to regurgitating the tankie talking point dishonestly trying to imply that US government spending supporting Ukraine is causing inflation, which is obviously what everybody’s downvoting you for – you should’ve just come out and said it to begin with.
The idea that food prices are rising and it’s Russia’s fault for disrupting supply is a much more reasonable assertion than the way you were spinning it before.
