‘Doubled the price and gave you half off.’ Reactions to Loblaw price freeze, plus other letters to the editor for Oct. 19

: The day before, I bought No Name cheese slices and No Name sliced meat, each priced at two for $9 or $4.99 for one.

I thought that I lucked out at two for $9, as I have a small kitchen and fridge. As a senior, I couldn’t buy two of each to consume before they expire. However, the checkout would not combine the cheese and meat at two for $9. I was charged $4.99 for each. “Two for” pricing is excessive for many seniors, low-income homes and single people. Loblaw seems to shamefully target these groups to pay more.

So which base price for No Name products is now used by Loblaw? Two for $9 or $4.99? This announcement appears self-serving.A buyer asks if she is going to get a deal, and the fellow selling cars replies, “I doubled the price and gave you half off.”Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.
