Prices

I am finding some of the pricing difficult to understand.

I buy bananas at a fruiteria near the mercado. They are more expensive than when I buy bananas at a grocery store in British Columbia. Huh?

In November-December I was in Sam’s Club and Mexican strawberries were the equivalent of just over C$10 for a two pound container. I wondered how expensive they would be when I was in Canada later in December. They were C$10 for a two pound container. Double huh?

I’m not much for eating snack foods, but I noticed that Doritos are higher priced.

A rotisserie chicken was more at Sam’s Club than at Costco Canada, as was a hotdog with refresco.

Gasoline is significantly more expensive expensive at C$1.95/litre. When I left BC it was C$1.45 or sometimes less.
