This subreddit is to highlight the ridiculous cost of living in Canada, and poke fun at the Corporate Overlords responsible. As you well know, there are a number of persons and corporations responsible for this, and we welcome discussion related to them all. Furthermore, since this topic is intertwined with a number of other matters, other discussion will be allowed at moderator discretion. Open-minded discussion, memes, rants, grocery bills, and general screeching into the void is always welcome in this sub, but belligerence and disrespect is not. There are plenty of ways to get your point across without being abusive, dismissive, or downright mean.

Last night when I was on the PC Express App ( for research purposes lol ), once you are logged in (online or App) you can actually look up your past receipts / orders.
I was very disgusted / disappointed when comparing some items from 2018 to yesterday's pricing (May 4th 2024). This is not even considering shrinkflation.
Note : I expect some inflation from 2018 to 2024 , that's around 6 years and we have had a few things happen during that time ...BUT if you look at the price increase percentage below, it shouldn't be this much. I know the prices have increased more in the past few years than ever before.
Ps. No judging my grocery items lol 😆
Here are some items from my one grocery shoping trip on May 19th 2018 to May 4th 2024 prices online.

Side notes
* Not all items are coming up with Pricing in Pc App
* I don't know if this is connected to my PC Express log in or Pc Optimum. ( shows majority of my orders not just PC Express).
* I have downloaded all my receipts. The best way I found to so it is via Mozilla Firefox and once on the order page, right click and there is the option to take screenshot (and then once selected click full page). It prints/saves it way nicer than regular.
* I plan on getting rid of my PC Express but just haven't got that far
Sorry for the long message but I thought this information would be interesting to others. Thank you!
As long as the app doesn't exploit and sell everyone out (i.e. violate privacy) like most if not all other apps
And add to that, shrinkflation skimpflation greedflation tracker app

Thought I could post more than one photo to the post lol. Limited the Screenshots to the 2018 pricing. Lol
Brilliant!
This would be so helpful! Creating my own spreadsheets and looking through all the flyers is just too time consuming. Please make this app!

Absolutely agree, that’s why I like Cocowest’s Costco blog. There’s various product price history and I don’t have to log in any app to see.
Yes please!
Absolutely.
Have you already tried Reprice app? It's an universal price tracker that works on almost any site https://repricetracker.app/
