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%?
Well, this specifically being smoked wild salmon, it’s not really problematic in that health sense (farmed salmon, on the other hand, has way much more fat and because of what it’s fed, that’s not even the good fat with lots of Omega-3) except perhaps any slightly hgher cancer risks associated with the smoking process (also it depends on any kind of chemicals added to accelerate the “smoking” - you can actually add “smoked flavour” - and preservatives).
