chick tits must be scarce up in canada...they cost about ~$2.7/lb over here in northern cali and even that's considered expensive compared to maybe other places


All meat is pretty expensive up here. Even back in Halifax a fairly decent sized city relative to the province meat was expense. Theres a cost-co in Halifax though so you could pick up about 10 breasts per 30 bucks there so that was pretty sweet.

I could blow your mind with how expensive things are out in the communities here but im to lazy to upload the pictures.

$5.50 per bottle of Gatorade 24 bucks per 3L of sunny D lolol.

some stuff is subsidized (healthy stuff thank god. Milk, eggs, meat). Frozen pizza's are 14 bucks per pop. 12 bucks for any small box of cereal.

three bell peppers are 14 bucks..

spend half an afternoon one day a week making your meals for the week. put each days food in containers and freeze it. Pull it out of the freezer in the morning (or night before or whatever works) so it's thawed and can be reheated.

$40/day for food is absurd



Reheated chicken breast is AWEFUL.

Seriously all you need to do for chicken is:

- Put your spice mix (if you make it yourself) in a bunch of tiny containers
- then when you're ready to eat it, mix spices with olive oil, cover chicken in the sauce
- cook chicken in oven for 20 minutes

like 30 minutes effort max to get fresh chicken breast

Can also cook rice in rice cooker hours before you are ready to eat it...fresh rice on the daily

I figure JD Irving is still looking for people. The pay will be just terrible in comparison to what was in the west.


Depends what you get into tho. The mill stuff people make good money 27$+ for doing generally fuck all.

I work for JD, and between benefits, pay, deals they have, its really good. But where im at is shit job, so trying to move out of it lol

But as you know 95% of people here are burnt as fuck, and would rather work 80+ hours a week in Alberta for 15$/hour , and spend all there money on flying home and back, + a massive truck that just sits.
