Safeway is the worst about it. They mark everything up by a preposterous amount, and then sell it at the regular price, but only if you’re a “club member” and only if you buy 4 of whatever you needed one of. Then they sell your data after you make the purchase. Oh, and those were perishable goods, so you either massively overpaid for one item and wasted money, or you bought four, half of it spoiled before you could use it, and you wasted money.
In Québec, (some) of the grocery price tags include a fine print with the $/100g.
They go out of their way to make this the smallest thing possible though.
There’s plenty of other misleading tagging going on too.
And I think it’s only certain items, maybe not all.
It’s a good idea and helpful, but should be more prominent and apply to literally all foods.
And that’s before tax, although not all foods are taxed.
Of course, it’s always the same tax anyway and it must be included by law. The per weight price is also always stated but it’s always in tiny text - my suggestion is simply to require it to be displayed just as prominently :)
It’s the best country in the world if you ask me :)
But getting temporary and then later permanent residence, let alone citizenship is not easy, especially if you are not in the EU. Not that it’s impossible.
Hmmm I don’t see that kind of stuff in Denmark, possibly we already have laws preventing that sort of crap.

Sounds pretty shit. We have “nemlig” for home delivery of groceries. Used it a few times, seemed reasonable.
I’m already jealous. Do the label prices also include taxes? Cause ours sure don’t. lol

Between you and Sandi Toksvig making it sound amazing, I’m seriously considering retiring to Denmark lol
