Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.

They seem to be $2.50 a pound across Ontario at Independent (including the one in St Mary’s), $2 a pound at some other Loblaw stores, both of which are cheaper than Walmart at $3 a pound.
Maybe the uproar made them change their price.
That said, I’m pretty sure my dad paid $80 for our 20lb turkey last year. I only remember cause he was bitching about it and I had to ask him if that was expensive lol.
Dollar per kg conversion for those numbers, this is /Canada on .ca after all:
Were all the prices you saw the same brand?
I don’t eat animals, so I don’t really have a solid price in my head for what it should cost. I do remember as a child that Butterballs were more expensive, so we never had one.
I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg
Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.
Yes, all the exact same product as the one discussed in the article.
(Except my dad’s last year, I have no clue what he bought.)
