Why wouldn't you anyways?

Usually the only benefit to the big grocery chains is cheaper prices.

If they raised their prices, it's probably just as expensive to go to the smaller local shops and you will get better quality at the same time.

Prices have gone up everywhere. I've switched over to farmer's markets to support local farmers and the odd run to local grocery/butcher shops. I don't think this boycott will make a dent for Loblaws. But it's the concept that counts.
