Groceries cost too much. We’re fixing it.
An open letter on grocery prices

You can see a price.
You can’t compare a basket.

Every big grocer shows prices one item at a time. None we found publishes them as data you can line up, so finding the cheapest basket means doing it by hand. Sign the letter to ask for open price data, a unit price on every shelf tag, and what the grocer paid shown next to what you pay.

  • Sized to every person. A 16-year-old and a 12-year-old don’t eat the same plate.
  • Priced at a real store. Every line is the store’s own shelf price, with the date it was read.
  • Compared with the average. Each item against the Canadian average, so you see a good price.
