    The unit price always tells the truth.

    Yeah, but sometimes similar items display different units, so the truth is hard to discern if you can’t do unit conversions in your head.

    I think it would be very fair to ask that product reformulations and size changes should be called out, directly on the packaging, for a few months afterwards.

    Absolutely.

      Yep. Don’t see the middle shelves, can’t reach the bottom shelves.

        You need to learn how to squat like you’re in Bulgaria with an Adidas track suite on bro. The bottom shelves can be yours.

        You need to find a kid (or a dwarf) to help get the stuff on the bottom shelf. They always ask us for help on the top, it’s time for them to repay the favor.

    I’ve been going to Giant Tiger and Dollarama for non- perishables and pantry staples.

      Really good tip! But I gotta add… Keep an eye on packaging sizes, especially at Dollarama. Sometimes it’ll end up costing you more in the long run. Also keep an eye on the unit price on labels in grocery stores. It’ll tell you what’s actually cheaper right on the shelf

      Nope. “Top Shelf” came from liquor at a bar. The most expensive stuff is put up there so it is a focal point of what the bar has and can be seen wherever you’re at in the bar. It’s also up there because it’s rarely used given its price.

      So interestingly, “top shelf” in grocery terms is the exact opposite.
