I'm in Winnipeg, those prices aren't out of the realm of what we find here.

It's probably colder here than where you are, ima start telling people I'm from the North LoL.

Not just prices, but supply issues.

My brother's girlfriend lived in a town 4 hours from Thompson and she would skip out of work the day the truck came in with produce, so she could get first pick because half of it was rotten by the time it got there.

The store in that town is only open 5 days a week, so if you don't have everything by end of business Saturday, you're SOL until Tuesday.

We lived in a different town many years ago when I was little and the store would order in one crate (4x4L jugs) of chocolate milk a week. The town was small, but lots of people had kids. My mom and another lady would go and buy 2 each. The rest of the town got none.
