that's nothing in comparison to London or Geneva. when i lived in either one of those places i basically had to starve myself as a vegitarian or go grocery shopping across the border in france or germany (in euros) b/c basically you get a piece of meat that's about the size of your pinky for almost 3-4 times the amount here in canada. going grocery shopping - i don't even want to mention going out for a meal or drink - was always such a nightmare. for the most basic things like bread, eggs, milk, water, and maybe a super thin and small piece of chicken breast i spent close to 100CHF! also, just as an example, if you go to mcD's in CH you get a meal for $12-15. ridiculous!!! at the time u also had to be afraid to get mad cow disease! bleh! although ...alc & cigarettes are always very cheap. talk about healthy living! i'm glad to be back in canada where meat, veggies and fruit are not cloned or full of pesticides and sold at a decent price.

try going to fast food places in Norway.

its true

in september a 1.89L of tropicana OJ was $3.49, now it is $3.99

many other things are mroe expensive.

its the price of fuel. food has to move...

everything will be going up over the next year.

I have noticed that food prices have been going up slowly over the past few years. A friend of mine works @ Mr. Greek Express and I went there the other day for a classic dinner and it was like 15 bucks, and I flipped. I was like WHO the f*ck pays this for a dinner that, to be honest, isn't that great. They raise the prices and can do it worry because they know costomers keep coming back. I am very surprised that prices are what they are now. But even more amazed at the fact that the " healthier " the food that you buy, the more expenzive it gets.

Healthier is in quotation marks because usually nothing is healthy in resturants anymore.

But with our high Canadian dollar corporations are gonna pass on the savings to us. Oh and the government is gonna make essential food items cheap for us aswell.

Oh and I just saw a pig fly. Mmmm flying bacon.

Think again.


But yes food in Europe is disgustingly expensive. Mind you now with the euro and all Italians now cross the border to switz to do grocery shopping and to get gas.

that's what I was thinking when I saw that post. Canada has resonably lax pesticide and genetically modified food legislation.

Mind you i'm all for genetic modification, with limits of course. It's just he media scaring the masses.

Mind you this whole "organic" thing that people keep babbling about to make themselves feel better is an utter scam.

holy shit.. theres actually a site for that? lol
my friends and i do the occasional "jarvis run" or "whore tour" after a club sometimes. i remember a few years ago a blow job was $50 and the other night my buddy asked how much for head and the bitch said $100. lol

the ho was suckin on something and my buddy asked "what is that? a buttplug?" she started kicking and screaming "you're disgusting!" and my buddy said "look who's standing on the street corner" and we peeled outta there.

its always fun to harrass the hookers. good times.
