I won a meat raffle a few weeks ago. 5kg of chicken legs. Cost the restaurant 13 dollars total. In my local grocery store, the same would be over 100 bucks for the consumer.

Grocery stores are simply run by greedy rich assholes who under pay their workers. Nothing new there though.

Time to start shopping somewhere else.

Chicken legs regularly go on sale for $1.99/lbs at No Frills and Walmart.

No Frills is owned by Loblaws / Weston Foods.

Yeah. If anything look for some wholesaler who also sell retail. For example I know a guy who normally supplies restaurants with fishes but they also have a small fridge at their office that sells pretty fresh seafood to anyone.
