    I am sure some don’t but there are people I know that shop at loblows and complain about ever increasing pricing, while a block over there is an independently owned grocer with much lower prices. i.e. Loblaws Peppers in 4 pack $10.99 , next door throw 4 peppers in a bag, comes to $3.90 by weight.
