With Rising Food Costs, That Dollarama Corn On The Cob Isn’t Looking So Bad After All

By Scott Slute

Lifestyle - As food prices are expected to increase by 9% next year, costing Ontarians thousands of dollars for the basic essentials, perhaps you were a little too judgemental towards that vacuum sealed corn you saw that one time at Dollarama.

Is it the finest quality corn-based product on the market? No. But is it approved for human consumption by Health Canada? Most likely.

Just think, for only $2 you can enjoy the taste of real corn with its soft, mushy fall-off-cob texture. A delicious treat like this would cost you $10-15 at your local Loblaws.

And haven’t you been saying for months you want to cut down on your meat consumption? Well this global food crisis is the perfect time to be financially forced to cut the beef and enjoy this delicious discount corn that is almost certainly meat-free since it isn’t refrigerated.

Not ready for the vegetarian life but still want to have affordable meals? Pair this yummy corn with some of Dollarama’s other somewhat quality food products like their vacuum packed avocado and 2 for $0.88 canned “chicken”, now made from 99% real chicken. Throw that all into a bowl with some hot sauce made from miscellaneous peppers and you have a tasty and affordable Tex-Mex meal the whole family will eat!

So stock up on this dollar delight while they’re still affordable, because the way things are going this is probably going to end up on the shelves of Metro by 2023.
