Here's another gripe about Sobeys - the pricing on baby formula.
Store generally have two approaches:
1) Price it low to drive traffic to the store. Superstore does this and prices is about ~$28 a can of Nestle.
2) Try and stick it to desperate parents: and charge them way more: ~$38 a can.
You can guess what New Safeway does.
Old Safeway used to charge $30 or so for a can, with the odd coupon or Air Miles giveaway to make it competetive with Superstore. Now? Sobeys charges $38 with some BS "new lower prices" yellow sign to bring it down to $35.xx. Roughly bringing it on par with that king of deals: Shoppers Drug Mart.
One less thing I get from Safeway - and another reason to shop Costco/Co-op
