We continue our investigation (see previous article here<\/a>) on the price of beer by including this time the United States in our Quebec-Ontario comparison.<\/p>\n

To get a good idea of the situation, we compare apples with apples, or in this case, Bud Lights with Bud Lights.<\/p>\n

Question: What is the best price a consumer can get in these three markets for a Bud Light can, no matter how many one needs to buy?<\/p>\n

In Ontario, it’s easy: there is only one place you can find any: at The Beer Store. And look: it’s great. There is a discount this week! We can get a case of 30 X 355 ml cans for $ 46.95 instead of $ 52.95, or $ 1.56\/can<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Such a good deal on the Bud Light at the Beer Store … It reminds us the SAQ huuuge 10% discounts…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Quebec, another discount, this time at Costco. We are offered 120 cans of 355 ml for $ 124.98, or $ 1.04\/can<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
When buying 2 cases of 30 cans, Costco pays the taxes. Still, the case end up costing $ 62.49 each.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the United States, Wal-Mart (New Hampshire store) sells a 30 X 360 ml can case for US $ 17.98, or $ 22.83 CAD<\/strong>, or $ 0.76\/can.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Question: How can an identical product vary in price so much from one market to another?<\/p>\n

The answer: taxation, regulation and\u00a0big\u00a0brewers’ privileged market position in Ontario.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
