we buy chese bulk at costco and freeze it.

In the end it's 'swings and roundabouts', the price of beef and salmon in canada is amazing, so cheap..
in my it opinion more than compensates for the beer and cheese.

Was back in the UK in Sept and a pint did average out at around 3 quid. However, I did have a pint in Wetherspoons for 1.20 pounds !! Prices vary much more than here where provincial gvt monopolies, decide they should be the ones selling booze. Can get beers here for $5-6, but usually it's nearer $7,with a tip on top as well. Not even a proper pint either (i.e. less).

Here's the articile:
