Canadians Plan May Boycott of Loblaw Stores Over High Grocery Prices

Thousands of Canadians are planning a boycott of Loblaw-owned stores in May to protest high food prices. The boycott demands include a 15% price reduction and removing "member-only pricing".

In response, Loblaw says it is "making efforts to lower food prices", including opening more discount stores, introducing promotions, and providing deeper discounts on everyday items.

However, many customers feel these efforts are not enough given decades of nearly 9% average annual grocery inflation recently.

The Reddit community organizing the boycott has grown to nearly 31,000 members as frustration with unaffordable grocery prices mounts.

Boycotters unable to avoid Loblaw stores completely plan other actions like writing government representatives and focusing purchases on loss leaders.
