Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 14:24 Tue 2/28/2017 Originally posted by Ferris Originally posted by fiulijn Originally posted by fiulijn Prices are listed as-is, no discounts taken into consideration, as they are not accessible to everybody (Camra requires membership; Friends&Family is 10%, Rep is 15%, Employee is 20%; Legacy has a membership system that gives effective 5% discount but you need to buy more; High Point has a membership system that gives progressive discount etc.) A ’no’ would have sufficed. I tried to use some discounts; it’s unfair to Firefly because they have a loyalty program but I don’t know the details; and the maths is not straight forward anyway, because it depends on how much one spends; with a total purchase of 1000$ Camra discount is 7.5%, not 10% (cost of membership included). Anyway, there are no big changes because most shops have some kind of program; there’s a bit of compression between high and low; and the only movements are: - Firefly and Liberty (sorry, not Libations, was a typo) jump on top of the bad guys list; - High Point becomes slightly cheaper than The Gull

Tony is teasing no real beer in gas stations in Alberta, although there are a few places in the province that you can buy beer in a gas station just like in BC but overall an oddity.

Yeah, Mike’s right. I was channeling an old Simpsons quote where Homer was lamenting Marge’s grocery purchases: "Olive oil? Asparagus? Why can’t we shop at the gas station like normal people?"

It was the style of the day we wore an onion on our belts:) Ok, but this is a pretty random quote ;-) In an early episode the "camera" moves from the second floor to the ground floor, revealing for a split second that in the space of the floor/ceiling of their house there’s a rich treasure of gold coins and gems...
Message fiulijn P beers 28318 º places 745 º 14:12 Wed 4/26/2017 For who is claiming that after calculating various discounts Denman is cheaper than The Gull, there’s a difference between hard numbers (mine) and alternate facts. This is the chart:

When I visited a couple of years ago I was impressed by how low prices are in Victoria compared to Vancouver... I hope that’s still the same Same in the suburbs as well, at least Surrey and Coquitlam
