It cost me $12!!!! for lettuce and about 12 strips of chicken. mind u it was great but wow $12 for a salad. Then I noticed that a meal at a fastfood place averages to about $6-8. That is alot of money for 1 meal. ugh but who am i kidding, i'll still end up buying it. |
Food in Toronto is way too expensive. There is no reason in the world why a souvlaki dinner should be costing you $20. for example. Even in the most expensive places in the world you can find good healthy meals for under $5. That wont even buy you a happy meal in Toronto any more.
Part of the problem is our rediculous tipping expectations. But the price of the food itself is also an issue. I think its due to excessively high rents, regulations and taxes that are burdened onto the retailer.
However even groceries are ridiculous. Yes gas prices are a bit to blame but i think its more preditory pricing. If you have noticed, the food retailers have merged quite a bit in the last 10 years. Now you have loblaws group, oshawa group and those who own sobeys and thats it. |

| Wasn't there something that was passed that made it so that healthier food was more expensive? (I think a tax) Or something like that, like a couple of years ago. |

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. |
yeah the best part is that occasionally on TRIBE.CA you get users wondering what happened because everyone is talking about electronic music rather than hookers.
TERB.CA has been adopted by some tribers as the unofficial sister site to tribe.ca :D lol.
For those of you wondering that's the only reason I even know of TERB.ca but there are some pretty fricken funny 'reviews' of peoples dates. lol. |
