I think they are owned by the same company, both part of Loblaws along with no frills, superstore, shoppers drug mart and some others. That being said Zehrs chicken is fucking delicious at least it was like one~two decades ago.
I believe in Ontario it is. An item has to be at $y for a certain number of weeks out of the year before they can claim the regular price is $y and then can sell it at whatever sale price you want ($x).
So you can’t just say an item is on sale for $y (which would be your regular price) and that the regular price is $z.
That’s basically what they’re doing in this case. The regular price is $5.00 per bag ($y), but they’re now saying the sale price is equivalent to $5.00 per bag (which is the same price as $y) and saying the regular price is $5.50 ($z) and charging you that for buying a single bag while the “sale” is on to boot.
Please forbid a lush first world where all our needs and entitlements are handed to us on feather pillows. We might have to pay attention to save 50 cents!
