Our grocery stores are owned by some of the wealthiest people in Canada.

So Loblaws has put a freeze on all their PC brand products. No hero biscuit from me. Maybe if they froze prices from four months ago instead of the inflated prices of today, it might seem sincere.

It is mind blowing how greedy they are. How much money is enough money? There is gouging going on everywhere. My latte/donut went up three times in one week from $5.17 to $6.50, so I quit going. Water refills have gone up 30 per cent and some as high as 50 per cent. I looked on the city’s website and commercial and residential users pay $3.61 for 4,546 litres of water but I I pay $2.50 to $3 for 19 litres. Wow what a profit margin for its reverse osmosis, aka tap water.

I hope when and if things get back to some normalcy, that customers remember who the gouging retailers are. They complain that they need to recoup their losses but how does someone on a fixed income recoup their losses? Sell their home, their car, maybe a kidney?Prince George
