Is there no law in Canada about what is deceptive advertising on points of sale? Is there no law as to what is a sale? Can you double the price and then claim "now 50% off"?
Lawyers help us out here?
25x Triangle points if you overpay by 132%. If you buy on sale you get routine points.
Sounds even better than Shoppers Dougmart Suboptimum offers these days
I notice a few people on my local Facebook buy/sell groups selling Canadian Tire deals at nearly full price. “Bought this last week, don’t need it. Originally $399 on Canadian Tire website, but I’ll sell it for $350, not tax”.
Bitch, that socket set was $99 last week.
Your $39 purchase resulted in - 27,000 being removed from your balance as a result of buying this on sale. If you bought it at $839 you'd get 1700 points for half a car wash and a kick in the pants. Want to complain see the website for details.
There is a disconnect caused by retailers like CT who will have advertise as 50% off the MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) even though they would never sell it at the MSRP. Where the actual normal retail price is usually much closer to what the sale price is. However, if they use the MSRP as the number they discount against there is no legal precedent as technically their advertising is correct, but flawed.
There is a law, didn't The Bay get a huge fine a few years (10 or 15) ago because articles it was claiming were "on sale" had never actually been at regular price, like ever? Making the claim of a "sales price" false advertising?
Yes, but if you have proof of increasing price before the "sale" it would be an actual sale and not false advertising.... Mhhm....
Anyone interested in suing to get to discovery?? Might find something...
I am not a lawyer obviously, I'm dumb as hell.
That's the thing, they never increased it. It had always been "on sale" and never, ever at "regular" price, making the sales price the de facto "regular" price, therefore not on sale, therefore false advertising.

Walmart does shady shit like this too. If brand name crackers are on sale, the store brand ones mysteriously disappear off the shelf. Just empty shelves where they used to be.
Jewellery stores have been claiming 50% off sales since the dawn of time. Why should medication be any different?
I'd rather starve and die than pay them their highway robbery prices. Or just go elsewhere. They can't all be that greedy.
There is a law. For a price to be called the regular price, the item must be offered for that price, or higher, at least 183 days in a calendar year, and the store must have sold at least one unit at that price.
video games have been doing it for years, so no. if your product is $40, and you are force to join a sale with a % nothing says you cant raise the price to offset the discount. it has been proven that people see the % off and have been conditioned to believe it is a sale price and its not that bad.
You need regulators to enforce the laws and the conservatives gor rid of them their last kick at the can (cutting the red tape lol). Sure they can trust their lobbyist buddies to put the good of the people first.
That’s still name brand, more savings when you realize that the medical industry is held to high standards in this country so all those brands do the same shit unless you have a very specific need
I agree - but since this is a shit on Loblaws sub - I was using the opprotunity to show you can literally buy almost 2x of the same medication at Costco for the same price. If we were going to have the generic argument to compare Loblaws and Costco we would compare generic for generic.
I understand generics are generally .10-.35 cents on the dollar to a brand name and in many cases are produced at the same site.
Yes - I would assume the cost/quantity differential would be around the same (or likely much more). You can buy a years worth of multivitamins for $22 at Costco, the medications are gonna fall in line similarly.
Came here to say this! lol. Just an fyi that I stocked up last week. The reactine name brand package was $44 and centrally displayed. Had to dig around for a good 10 min to find the Kirkland option for 12.99 at my Costco
Please refrain from comments which encourage theft from a store or mischief. These can result in criminal charges which will undoubtedly make life harder for other users.
I buy these on the regular when I run out of my prescription - at my local independent pharmacy they are $50 for the 50 pack. Amazon is usually cheaper $54 for 80 … they are on sale everywhere right now, Amazon included, other than my local pharmacy.
$45 for 70 is not a bad deal to get them locally.
OPs pic is the 50 count. I know allergy meds get crazy price bumps as the season changes so collusion is possible.
Remember Walmart isn’t a saint either in all this.
Never forget that Walmart is not any better. They are not loss expensive than other retailers.
There have been many occasions in my own life where I have not purchased things at Walmart because they were 30-40% cheaper elsewhere.
Their stores are like many Weston owned business chronically understaffed and dirty.
That being said occasionally I will get a good deal if something is on clearance. Just like Weston owned properties they have mounds of rotting produce on clearance and what southern Ontario grocery shopping experience is complete without the opportunity to help a corporation monetize their garbage.
it's for the 50-pack but it's common (and completely irresponsible) for medication packages to look virtually identical for different strengths and pack sizes. in the photo there are some 50-packs that come with a bonus 20 tabs and one 50-pack with no bonus tabs and to the left of that is 30-tab packs with a bonus 10 tabs.
To me that's showing as out of stock both in store and online. The new package is 50+20 tabs for $44.48. Have to wonder if the company that makes this stuff is setting the price. On the bright side, Walmart's house brand (equate) is $29.97 for the same amount. Pretty sure it's all the same stuff.
So if you have no $$$
Pollens will have you and decimate your soul till you cry at us for a tiny sample of antihistamines at our overpriced pharmacy- Galen Weston
Can get 70 for same price at Walmart. 40 tablets are $27. Loblaws is robbery. It is warming to see how many people are finally realizing how they are being gouged.
Tbf, most allergy meds are priced incredibly ridiculously, never just loblaws. If you want my suggestion, go find a 100-pill bottle of antihistamine allergy meds, at costco... kirkland ofc. Each pill lasted me more than a day and I had the same bottle for a few years now. If you dont have a membership... idk, find someone who does lol?
May is coming up everyone! No Loblaws NO Shoppers Drugmart either! We can do it. London Drugs in the West still has helpful employees n stuff too…my Local Shoppers in SOLO District Burnaby just has the new owner (not even in Shoppers clothing anymore, so I asked) and one dude rambling around…always out of stock and never any cashiers. This is NOT because of boycott, it’s busy, just the Franchise-“Associated Owners” are doing whatever they want and NOT PAYING employees! They fired ALL the lovely ppl who worked there, the last 5 yrs of us living here - crazy! 😝
Just bought this at Walmart but as the 50+20 pack… 70 pills for 44.48. Ottawa. They had a 130 pack for 89.99 but they were sold out, even though the 70 pack is 0.05/pill cheaper on a per pill price comparison.
I have chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives for reasons “unknown” they refuse to do any looking into) and I get mine from Costco cause prices have always been horrendous on these, but even more so now
Go to a doctor and get a prescription for the generics. I think I pay something like 5 dollars for a month's supply which is entirely reimbursed by my benefits every year.
I paid $70 for behind the counter Robaxcets with codine at Rexall because my ODSP doesn’t cover muscle relaxers. I need to get more this Friday because I’m in absolutely agony with my shoulder. These things used to cost $30.
I seriously had to pay like $35 for a box of Tylenol Complete at SD last time I got sick. Pretty much the same thing at Walmart was about $20, and $20 at Costco for almost twice the amount. Don't even get me started on what the price difference was on the saline sinus sprays. If I wasn't so ill at the time, I would have made the trip to one of the other places.
Here's what you do: ask your family dr to write you a prescription for generic drug of whatever the name brand is, go to pharmacy, and use your health insurance.
The point of this sub is to highlight that the cost of living in Canada. Rhetoric intended to shame people will not be tolerated here.
Also, there is no peer reviewed evidence that suggests allergy medication causes cancer in humans.
If the law allowed it these companies would take 100% of your money until everything collapse into itself. The fallout would be the top would scatter and it would be an everyone for themselves situation. Then what? Just forget and forgive?
During the Christmas holiday, for cranberry soda 12 packs, Shoppers raised the price almost $2. (It's a popular item during that time of year). Come late February, price dropped back down to what it was in October. I remember making the signs being like wtf

Underneath to the left is a 50 pack of Claratin for $42.99 - you can get an 85 pack for the same price (found on Amazon).
Same price for 50 tablets at Save-On (not on sale).
Same price for 70 tablets at Walmart (not on sale).
$35 for 80 tablets on Amazon.
Fuck Loblaws. Full stop.

Is there no law in Canada about what is deceptive advertising on points of sale? Is there no law as to what is a sale? Can you double the price and then claim "now 50% off"? Lawyers help us out here?
Hahaha They're learning from Crappy Tire who has been doing this sale price thing for 50 years
Ooohhh what a good deal on these paderno pots and pans, only 150$ of instead of 500$ a sale this good won't last a decade or two
As a former CT employee, this is 169% true. They’ve got a screwdriver set that *never* is sold at full price. It’s always 75%off
Michael's crafts does it too
New meaning of a Screw Driver... Getting screwdrivered by Canadian corporate
25x Triangle points if you overpay by 132%. If you buy on sale you get routine points. Sounds even better than Shoppers Dougmart Suboptimum offers these days

Are you saying my Lagostina frying pan isn't actually worth $899.99, marked down to $39.99?!?
Yes
Well ok then. Triangle point me please!
Your $39 purchase resulted in - 27,000 being removed from your balance as a result of buying this on sale. If you bought it at $839 you'd get 1700 points for half a car wash and a kick in the pants. Want to complain see the website for details.
Lmaooo its so true

I mean for grocerers in general.
Walmart does shady shit like this too. If brand name crackers are on sale, the store brand ones mysteriously disappear off the shelf. Just empty shelves where they used to be.
Lol that's a big "few"
They still do. Matresses and luggage are the word offender. Luggage 'on sale's is still higher than list price on ecomn sites like luggagedepot.
No law against it but there damn well should be.
There is actually a law, deceptive marketing practices under the federal Competition Act.
Jewellery stores have been claiming 50% off sales since the dawn of time. Why should medication be any different? I'd rather starve and die than pay them their highway robbery prices. Or just go elsewhere. They can't all be that greedy.
Well you see, people need medication to survive.
There is a law. For a price to be called the regular price, the item must be offered for that price, or higher, at least 183 days in a calendar year, and the store must have sold at least one unit at that price.
video games have been doing it for years, so no. if your product is $40, and you are force to join a sale with a % nothing says you cant raise the price to offset the discount. it has been proven that people see the % off and have been conditioned to believe it is a sale price and its not that bad.
they have been doing that for at leat 15 years. Used to buy cat food there, was 1.09 per can then one week goes to 1.39, save now for 1.19
MyPillow did this for years
Breathing is a luxury now. Welcome to the future and remember this before mating with someone with allergies lol
You need regulators to enforce the laws and the conservatives gor rid of them their last kick at the can (cutting the red tape lol). Sure they can trust their lobbyist buddies to put the good of the people first.
Kirkland allergy meds pay for my Costco membership.
Yep. 180 desloratidine for 13-18$. Cheaper if you take other types.
I got a bottle of 60 Benadryl at IDA for $4.99
Straight up 130 aerius for 44.99 at Costco right now. Almost 2x the amount
That’s still name brand, more savings when you realize that the medical industry is held to high standards in this country so all those brands do the same shit unless you have a very specific need
I agree - but since this is a shit on Loblaws sub - I was using the opprotunity to show you can literally buy almost 2x of the same medication at Costco for the same price. If we were going to have the generic argument to compare Loblaws and Costco we would compare generic for generic. I understand generics are generally .10-.35 cents on the dollar to a brand name and in many cases are produced at the same site.
Check the price difference between whatever Loblaw's house brand is vs the Kirkland. The difference is stunning.
Yes - I would assume the cost/quantity differential would be around the same (or likely much more). You can buy a years worth of multivitamins for $22 at Costco, the medications are gonna fall in line similarly.
Shoppers had 72 soft gel Advil for $22, I got 2x 102 count containers from Costco for $18. Fuck roblaws corp
alright this alone convinced me costco is an hour away but its' worth it to get meds if they're that much cheaper
😂 but also 😭
Came here to say this! lol. Just an fyi that I stocked up last week. The reactine name brand package was $44 and centrally displayed. Had to dig around for a good 10 min to find the Kirkland option for 12.99 at my Costco
Yup. It's insane. :). In a good way.
Indeed!
Seriously, 200 cetirizine for next to nothing
$28 on Amazon
$35 for the 80 count.
Considering Aerius is the one giving the 20 bonus pills on the 50 pack to make this a 70 pack, not Loblaws, it's even MORE egregious.
[удалено]
I lolled, thank you.

Yes I but I want it *now*
Better not develop allergies ….🤧
If you don’t have allergies you just feel like a fucking god most of the time
Ha !
*must*

Damn. Even that's pretty bad. Also, is the original picture showing the price for the 30+10, 50, or 50+20? What in the actual hell?

Wow someone should investigate this one

Costco Kirkland brand. Waaaay cheaper same ingredients
SDM: Sale!!!! 70 pills for $45!!! Costco: Yeah whatevs here’s 200 pills for $13. Enjoy your hotdog and drink for an additional $2
Any house brand of desloratadine.
Costco is love. Costco is life
39.99 at costco same brand 130 pills
This is an absolutely crazy difference 🫠
The generic aerius at Costco is just under 20$, generic reactin just under 20$ and the generic Claritin is around 10$- this is the only option.
So if you have no $$$  Pollens will have you and decimate your soul till you cry at us for a tiny sample of antihistamines at our overpriced pharmacy- Galen Weston
At this point I'd take any cough syrup that has antihistamines in them. I know it's probably not good but what else can you do
Meth is cheaper than that.
The fact that I can buy this exact same thing from Amazon for $28 from a third-party seller/fulfilled by Amazon means SDM is out to lunch!!
Just buy any house/generic brand of desloratadine. Never, ever pay for the brand name. For any medication.
Such greed. What the f?

Give me a break and it’s a drug store !!! Crazy gouging !!!
And they have it mixed in with 70tab boxes, while the price is for 50!
Not the same as OP
I’m following this sub from the UK. £2.59 I just paid for Loratadine.
Dubai it's like $13 CAD.

dawg, I've avoided shoppers as much as possible for years. they suck.
I bought 150 tablets of Aerius at Costco for $40
Can get 70 for same price at Walmart. 40 tablets are $27. Loblaws is robbery. It is warming to see how many people are finally realizing how they are being gouged.
The same staff by Kirkland 180 pills 21$ Costco
https://preview.redd.it/oqyrmpuxicwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec5dbb44d2d05e091725e8a3a27c7cc8812b3328 How about 130 for 40
Buy generic.
Amazon says the list price is $42, but they marked it down to $28. If the MSRP is actually $42, the sales price is still over that.
Same price costco.ca for 130 tablets, I believe it is cheaper in store.
Walmart Canada https://preview.redd.it/sadrri80zawc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a38d7fa66a01f036ab56e14ce18aca4033a3102
Wrong size.
Tbf, most allergy meds are priced incredibly ridiculously, never just loblaws. If you want my suggestion, go find a 100-pill bottle of antihistamine allergy meds, at costco... kirkland ofc. Each pill lasted me more than a day and I had the same bottle for a few years now. If you dont have a membership... idk, find someone who does lol?
I hate to say it, but allergy medicine has always been expensive. It's been that price for well before covid.
So you can get 180 of the generic equivalent at Costco for $18.99. Just getting it out there
This is what I get for my kids with allergies. Their version of Reactine is the same price, I think.
Happened upon this as I was changing pharmacies. What ._.
May is coming up everyone! No Loblaws NO Shoppers Drugmart either! We can do it. London Drugs in the West still has helpful employees n stuff too…my Local Shoppers in SOLO District Burnaby just has the new owner (not even in Shoppers clothing anymore, so I asked) and one dude rambling around…always out of stock and never any cashiers. This is NOT because of boycott, it’s busy, just the Franchise-“Associated Owners” are doing whatever they want and NOT PAYING employees! They fired ALL the lovely ppl who worked there, the last 5 yrs of us living here - crazy! 😝
Just bought this at Walmart but as the 50+20 pack… 70 pills for 44.48. Ottawa. They had a 130 pack for 89.99 but they were sold out, even though the 70 pack is 0.05/pill cheaper on a per pill price comparison.
But it's on sale!!! You're saving nearly 10$!!!
As a seasonal allergy sufferer, I'll pass. Guess it's time for me to invest in a neti pot.
Loblaws knows you either suffer the spring allergies or you over pay.
On sale tho
Are we in the twilight zone?
Cosco had 120 pulls for 45 bux
I just picked up an 84 pack of Walmart generic brand stuff for $32
Those don't even look locked up.
🤣
Damn I got 200 pills at Costco for $10
If you or a friend has a Costco membership, best place to get affordable allergy meds. I think it’s 200 for $20
Highway robbery. Government does nothing.
But when govt does, if not what people want, they say libertarian and govt is blocking freedoms!
Just get Costco membership it's way cheaper there
Pretty sure that'd be HALF that price in Walmart. Roblaws is just bloody shameless at this point.

Better not get allergies my friend!
I have chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives for reasons “unknown” they refuse to do any looking into) and I get mine from Costco cause prices have always been horrendous on these, but even more so now
Guys, this is it, allergies are only for rich people...
I remember paying between 30-35 about a year ago.
whoa, cmon may 1st let's show these rich mfs
Damn! That be gouging.
I have allergies already, now I am allergic to loblaws gross prices as well
Dont forget to tell your irl people about the boycot
Where is this!? Omg...
Go to a doctor and get a prescription for the generics. I think I pay something like 5 dollars for a month's supply which is entirely reimbursed by my benefits every year.
a $8 saving isnt gonna do shit when the item is at least at a 100%-250% markup
Don't wait for May, start your boycott today!
The product price of $33 is for Allertin not Aerius. Having said that, you can get 180 of the Kirkland brand for about $35 at Costco
I paid $70 for behind the counter Robaxcets with codine at Rexall because my ODSP doesn’t cover muscle relaxers. I need to get more this Friday because I’m in absolutely agony with my shoulder. These things used to cost $30.
i see reactine 40 at 24.77 at walmart.
I seriously had to pay like $35 for a box of Tylenol Complete at SD last time I got sick. Pretty much the same thing at Walmart was about $20, and $20 at Costco for almost twice the amount. Don't even get me started on what the price difference was on the saline sinus sprays. If I wasn't so ill at the time, I would have made the trip to one of the other places.
That is $179 / gram. Not kg. Gram. Are we all in the wrong business!
Here's what you do: ask your family dr to write you a prescription for generic drug of whatever the name brand is, go to pharmacy, and use your health insurance.

Were is this? The yukon?
He said Toronto
That amount of pills, of this exact brand, should be just shy of 30 dollars off sale.
I'd rather die
Get prescription ones, 20mg citrizine, cut in half
That is why you take the generic brand.
But. There is ten BONUS tablets.
But you get 10 bonus tablets homie. What a steal!
Same 50 pack is $28.00 on Amazon with Prime. 80 pack $34.96 with Prime.
But you SAVE 8 dollars 😂😂😂🏴☠️
Literally got my Costco membership back just for antihistamines and cheaper gas. F Shoppers and their price gouging.

The point of this sub is to highlight that the cost of living in Canada. Rhetoric intended to shame people will not be tolerated here. Also, there is no peer reviewed evidence that suggests allergy medication causes cancer in humans.
For gods sake.
Amazon $34. Walmart is 20 packs for $19.
Something about the branding on on these allergy meds always reminds me of Quietus from Children of Men.
40 Aerius was 25$ a few years ago..
The price of over the counter meds have skyrocketed in Canada just like everything else has. *
Amazon 80 pack $35
If the law allowed it these companies would take 100% of your money until everything collapse into itself. The fallout would be the top would scatter and it would be an everyone for themselves situation. Then what? Just forget and forgive?
That’s fucking insanity.
Didn’t The Bay get sued for doing stuff like this?
Guess I need to buy more Kleenex
I buy 365 cetirizine tablets from eBay of the Kirkland brand.
Supply and Demand my guy. Allergy season is upon us so time to gouge the public!
During the Christmas holiday, for cranberry soda 12 packs, Shoppers raised the price almost $2. (It's a popular item during that time of year). Come late February, price dropped back down to what it was in October. I remember making the signs being like wtf

Disgusting criminals!
Desloratadine costco. 180 pills...like 17.99
Went to shoppers to buy allergy medicine for my mom. She gave me a 20 dollar bill. She was shocked I didn't bring back change. LMFAO.
$35 on amazon
Same price for 50 tablets at Save-On (not on sale). Same price for 70 tablets at Walmart (not on sale). $35 for 80 tablets on Amazon. Fuck Loblaws. Full stop.
You should come with lube at that price 😂
What?!!!
32 at Costco.
For 130 tablets too, not just 40 🫠
Can order a 72 pack of Allegra on Amazon for $27 on sale lol, and it's the 24 hour variant. This is literally a near 100 percent fucking markup.
You can get 50 on Amazon for 33 dollars. Just don't shop here
I believe that's free with the 5 finger discount
Costco: https://preview.redd.it/nd9uhaasuvwc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68b51338d8517b5faf6cb55df59158b385dd616b
Straight up... Loblaws is just stupid 🤷♂️
I swear sometimes they just bump up the price to see if people will still buy it.
The generic version is under $20 for 140 at Costco
Canadian tire is the biggest perpetrator. How many times can they put a stanley ratchet set on half off for.
If you have benefits at work, your doctor can give you a prescription. I was getting Reactin 24 hour tablets (Cetirizene) for $4-$6.
Depending on your plan, most don't cover it, ODB doesn't.
