If you think the grocery prices in Toronto are bad, you should speak to someone in Canada's north, where shoppers have been sharing photos of labels that are even more despicable than $10 butter at a Leaside Loblaws or a $120 turkey at a downtown Longo's.

The nation's territories are notorious for exorbitant food costs, with small vegetable platters spotted for $70 and asparagus going for $32.99 a kg even before this recent bout of soaring inflation.

The latest snaps from stores in Nunavut, posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, really put the issue into perspective for those of us living elsewhere in the country.

You sure these weren't just taken in a Loblaws? 😭😂

Depicted is a 3.49L jug of orange juice for $26.99 (a slightly smaller 2.6L bottle of the same is currently $9.99 at Loblaws in Toronto, by comparison), a 35-pack of bottled water for $83.49 (24 bottles of the same brand is listed for $4.99 at our Loblaws), and seedless green grapes for a shocking $28.19 per kg (only $8.80 per kg on the Loblaws website).

What people online seem to have the biggest issue with is the Nunavut price for cheese, with one image showing a large brick of Cracker Barrel medium cheddar for $59.99 (at the Toronto Loblaws price of $2 per 100g, the 2.3 kg item would be $46, assuming the weight on the label is correct).

In response, people are calling the rates "absolutely insane" and are wondering how anyone is surviving in the region — though getting by in Toronto isn't easy, either, as we all well know.
