Loblaw, George Weston to pay $500M for bread price-fixing scheme in record antitrust settlement
This is only for 2015! What about now? Price of bread is ridiculous.
We bought a $99 bread machine a few years ago, as the price of bread at the store climbed. It takes a minute to assemble the ingredients, then you just walk away. 3 hours later, you have bread that puts store bought to shame, and all for less than $1 per 2lb loaf.
We also started using a pasta maker, which is just as easy to use. Fresh pasta for pennies, instead of $3 a pack.
In addition, we started making out own almond milk too... using fresh almonds and water. Compared to unsweetened store bought, we're saving over $40 a month on almond milk alone.
I'm tired of these companies... all of them... overpricing their products. Make whatever you can; fix whatever you can; reuse and repurpose as much as you can!
The class-action case was brought against a group of companies that includes Loblaw and the Weston companies, Metro, Walmart Canada, Giant Tiger, and Sobeys and its owner, Empire Co. Ltd
Sorry, WHAT?! Weston also owns Sobeys and Walmart?! BREAKUP THIS MONOPOLY!!
Edit: Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? I couldn't confirm it.
This is a case of Fun With Commas - Sobeys is owned by a different obscene conglomerate, Empire Company.
Metro, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Empire are the co-conspirators along with the Weston companies.
Jeazus. EMPIRE company. A little on the nose, no?
You're misreading that comma. It is listing companies the suit is against. "Loblaw and the Weston companies" is one list item, "Walmart Canada" is another, etc.
Oh thank you both! I am SO glad I misread that 😊. My familiarity with Oxford commas let me down here 😁
Do cake next
So someone is going to prison, right? Right?
I read that as: we are still permitted to be a monopoly, so of course we're gonna do this again
