It's a demoralization thread that pops up any time Canadians start discussing anything interesting.
It's rumoured to be Daisy Analytics that are behind it but the game is to go to a fucking expensive store, buy something that's overpriced because it's a premium brand or something that's out-of-season, take a picture of the price then pretend that the price of groceries is (even more) ridiculous.
As we can see here with this honeycrisp apple, a premium fruit which is being purchased slightly before season from the organic aisle to make it seem like it's obscenely priced to people who are used to buying apples for $0.99 per lb or less at this time of year.
It's a trap designed to draw in people who live with their parents and don't do the grocery shopping in their town. The interesting thread dies because half the Canadian posters are now commenting on food prices.
You have to give it to whichever shilling firm does the "Canada is collapsing" threads because it's an effective tactic. Don't think it's anything other than a distraction though, if you ever see a thread like that it means something interesting has happened and that shills have been payed to distract people.
That's the trick, groceries are definitely going up so it seems plausible at first but once you start investigating you realize it's someone fucking around.
Never trust a anything you see on 4chan.
And, apples don't go to sale prices until October.
And, your buying it at the expensive yuppie mart.
Also, yes. you are in Canada. 3.99 Canadian Dollars equals 2.98 United States Dollars. And, yeah Walmart sells honeycrisp at like $2.67/lb. They also sell granny smith @$1.12/lb and things like fuji and red deliscious at about a dollar a pound.
Nothing in Canada is sustainable, but the majority of voters keep voting for it and pushing the costs onto their kids and grandkids.
If the customer pays the price, it is sustainable.

I mean this comparison is retarded. You can go to Walmart and get a 3 lb pack of apples for three bucks.
I also bought a 3 lb. bag of apples last week at superstore for around $3.
Can someone redpill me on this? I've seen posts like this. I'd love to know more.
Aint that the unfortunate truth.

TLDR;
OP has expensive tastes.
honey crisp can actually go higher that... 6$ /lb is common for honeycrisp. Also those prices are the same at every grocery
Yes. They are pricey apples.
...they're usually imported from the US as well.
