Even though prices have shot up for things like almond, soy, and oat milk, the size of refrigerated versions have always been 1.89L.

But I noticed some strangeness on the Walmart (Canada) website while building my grocery list where one brand, that is priced less than another brand, had a higher cost per 100ml.

As I looked into it, I noticed that several varieties have gone from 1.89L to 1.75L.

I’m getting real sick and tired of this.

    Costco charges more for online orders even before adding in the delivery charge.

    That’s super frustrating! I’ve had that happen a few times (Not with Costco) and I’m either forced to leave the store empty-handed or pay more than I expected.

    And never mind delivery charge, places around here charge you for picking the stuff up! Unless you “subscribe” to their pick-up/delivery plan. What in the actual hell???

      Ikr? And it’s not just groceries, movie theaters also charge on online ticket ordering fee, so we end up driving the 2-ish miles to use their kiosk (basically the same thing) to avoid the stupid fee. In fact, we go to movie theaters less because of it.

      I know some people will just pay it, but I’m not willing to, and it saddens me that it’s probably more lucrative to do these anti-consumer things.
