Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro and Costco sell about 67 cents of every dollar Canadians spend on groceries, by a USDA estimate. The four biggest US food retailers sell about 35 cents.

If you ever see an item in the grocery store that says “Prepared in Canada”, it means nothing of value, avoid them for their deceptive practices.
Depending on where you live there are likely farmers’ markets and/or local producers within a reasonable drive. In my experience it can range as far as price, and flavour is almost always better.
At least it’s a way to reduce reliance and dependence on this oligopoly.
