I once scored a big bunch of coffee because the local Canadian Superstore confused cents with dollars. The price was listed in cents per kg instead of dollars!

At first they refused to honour the price, and fixed their mistake.

I sent an e-mail with photos to their corporate office. I received a phone call from someone who was laughing and thought it was all funny. He told me to go back to the store, and as much as I could carry, they would honour the posted price.

Cost me like less than a dollar for 4 or 5 kilos of coffee!

That's a heart warming story! That head office was amused and honoured the posted price. They would probably have been within their rights to refuse to sell. At least that is the way it works in English law. The price label, etc., is 'an invitation to treat'. That is it is an invitation to enter into a contract, not a contract in itself. Unless it's changed since my wife studied the subject in the 70s.

Loblaw can definitely afford it.
