Continue to drink your apple juice.

A lot of our products are American made or come from China.Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
Not necessarily.
Many products are actually made in Canada when talking grocery store items. Then from the US.
Chinese grocery goods are actually fairly rare. The odd thing like certain brands of pickles, or madarin orange products and such come from China.
I would say that Canada produces most of its own grocery goods. Obviously we are dependent on the US (and even Mexico depending on time of year) for some produce that just doesn't easily grow here.

All apple juice available here is the same. It's usually in liter-boxes, or in drink boxes unrefrigerated. Some comes in plastic bottles, but it's all the same as far as I know.Quote from: "Angry White Male"
We have cold pressed and pressure treated juices for sale here. It inactivates the process of spoiling if kept refrigerated and tastes 100 percent like you squeezed it yourself, with no additives at all.

I feel ya man, always something with my Jeep. I've got a bad tire, was a bad front wheel bearing, and I rotated the tire to the back. Well that tire I think has fucked up something back there, cause a wheel stud broke off from the vibes Im guessing. Another one rung off when I went to tighten it, and I didnt even tighten it. So gotta hammer out the old ones and install new ones this weekend. Hoping no others break off before then.

Fash is correct.
Although we do rely on California and surrounding States even during the summer, for certain produce. In fact, during the Winter we rely, as does the US also, on Mexico.
Some things just need a hot climate.
I used to truck this produce up for Safeway years ago. Golden Boy and Bobby Boy and all those other brand names of your produce, was delivered in my truck.
In the Summer Cali, Arizona, etc, could grow and supply this. In the Winter, they could not... That's when I'd have to spend time RIGHT on the Mexican border, waiting for a shipment from Mexico.
This is where your produce comes from.

BC, Ontario and Nova Scotia grow lots of seasonal fruits like apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, and all berries.
And the fruits and veggies we grow are superior in taste to Cali imports.

Not ours.Quote from: "Bricktop"
We grow our own, 365 days a year.
It would interesting to compare your retail produce prices to our own.
Bananas $1.99 a kilo.
Apples and pears $2.99 a kilo.
Oranges can vary...usually around $1.99 a kilo but you can buy 5 kg bags for $3.
Melons fluctuate but around $1 a kilo, often less.
Grapes around $2 a kilo.
Strawberries the same.
Blueberries are still seasonal...around $4 a kilo.
Mangoes around $4 each.
Pineapples the same.
Avocados are all over the place. You get 3 for $4 at Aldi's.
Stone fruits are still seasonal...and so orchardists tend to stay away from them. Once you could get them for silly money, but growers preferred a less seasonal crop and most of the orchards were replaced. So now they are expensive, even though they grow like weeds and bear tonnes of fruit.

Well, we're not covered in ice. So we can grow stuff.Quote from: "Bricktop"
Stuff is grown here too, but what's fucked up is that the stuff we import costs less sometimes than stuff we grow. Bananas and oranges are cheap in this country.

Grapes are seldom below 3.00 a kilo in season and often upwards of 8-10.00 out of season.
Blueberries are never 4.00 a kilo unless it's a kids stand in a rural road. Punnets are 200gm in the shops usually and go for between 3-5.00.
Aldi avocados are small, rock hard, never Hass always Shepard. Average avo price for a Hass is 2-5 dollars.

The problem with Costco, is that much of their goods are sold in large, 'family sized' quantities.
As a single person, I just don't consume enough of anything to warrant 'family sized' quantities.
They did sell smokes for a pretty decent price though...

They were good for some non perishable goods and things like their massive egg trays but yes, it's better for people running takeaway shops or who have large families or don't care about quality over quantity.
I don't blame Bricktop for getting his nose out of joint. He and his wife probably live on 6 eggs a day and two minute noodles at their age and pension levels.
Obviously, he has no idea about going prices on fresh produce and meat.

Have you seen those photos of him posing with his grandchild at a motor event? He had mankles. Loafing would be too energetic for him.
