Checking my freezer the other day I noticed that our winter meat order was running a little low on some items. We have country food, but things in the fish line are low. We were expecting two visitors from away who have particular eating habits, so this caused me to check on some items in the frozen section of two stores yesterday.
Some nice looking Highliner frozen cod pieces caught my eye. Six pieces of fish at the Northern, enough for three good meals, with a price tag of $17.24. So up I go to the Bigland, again six pieces of fish, same Highliner brand, this time for $24.38. It could have been the fish pieces were larger than at Northern; alas there was no way to tell as the Bigland package did not have weight marked on it. Also noticed, Bigland package had that thawed and re frozen look about it, very common up here, you should see the chicken and beef section, not fit boy.
Will have to check out Haynes store, they do not stock as much, but it is usually of better quality.
I do not drink much pop, just the odd one for mix, but my wife has a coke a day. Fran opined yesterday that coke is over $1.50 at moment in most stores. It seems stores ran out of pop stock and are getting it flown in.

Yes, perspective. Usually pop is $1.00 a can, some stores have specials by the dozen. Then larger bottles are cheaper per volume. With stores low or run out on many food items, stores a flying in lots of “junk style” foods. Pop is actually $1.59 now.
The marine shipping does not start for another month usually; this year may see an earlier start what with the ice conditions.
