When I lived in both the NWT and northern Alberta the only store in town was the Northern Store. All meats were sold frozen--nothing fresh. A small beef roast (5 lbs) would run about $50. A chicken (3 lbs) was about $25. Of course, tomatoes, oranges, apples and bananas were $1 each. We ate lots of fish, caribou and moose. I would buy a whitefish for $5 or fresh caribou/moose for whatever the hunter and I decided on. Hunters' prices were fair. The same can't be said for the Northern. These days I buy as much local produce as possible because supermarkets gouge, imo. YMMV.
