Last Tuesday I filled my car with gas at Costco in Langley at $1.83. I went on Gas Buddy today and at Costco Scarborough, Ontario it's $1.39 and Costco in Edmonton $1.27. I've watched the prices go ridiculously high over the last few days.
Yesterday in my neighbourhood:
Today it's $2.39! That's $0.56 a litre in SEVEN DAYS! They tell us it's because of the supplier in Washington state. I priced gas in Bellingham:
Gas prices are from Gas Buddy, a wonderful app. I have a gas converter app on my phone:
I just read this on Twitter:
Global BC’s top story tonight showed outrageous Vancouver gas prices - $2.33.9/litre. But why is it just $1.69.9 in Kamloops and $1.93.9 in Abbotsford? And, even with similar supply disruptions, almost $1.00/ litre Cdn. less in Bellingham? Major unexplained rip-off.
$31.43 plus a 20% tip (the service and food was excellent and since COVID, I've increased my tips to servers as they deserve it). $37.72 for two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two pancakes and a cup of coffee! In Ontario you pay HST which is GST and Ontario provincial tax. Niagara region adds NFDF that is a 10% tax on top! 24% tax on meals!
$12.39 in BC, $20.99 in Ontario. We only pay 5% GST.
When Jeanie and I were in Niagara Falls, the first morning, I was shocked at the price of my breakfast. We go to IHOP in South Surrey frequently. I ordered the same breakfast in Niagara Falls as I do when I'm home.
