An NDP MP is calling on Canada s Competition Bureau to investigate possible anti-competitive practices after Loblaw s move to end its 50 per cent discounts on last-day sale items.
While a move by Loblaw to end its 50 per cent discount on perishable foods like meat, fruit and vegetables as they near their best-before dates may anger some consumers, there's nothing to suggest it runs afoul of competition laws or is an act of collusion, some experts say.
If you’ve been trying to save money on your grocery bill by waiting until fresh food is marked down to 50 per cent, get ready for some sticker shock on your next visit to a Loblaw-owned grocery store.
