I'm literally talking about juice here today.
I just went to the grocery store because I'm all out of beverages besides Pepsi. Colemans is one song away. About three minutes.
I looked for my favourite grape juice, but they don't carry it. President's Choice White Grape juice is most excelent. I've only ever found it at Dominion though. Instead I bought my backup juices. McCain's Apple and Orange juice. Them's good stuff.
I just looked at my reciept, and noticed an 8¢ "Government Deposit" tacked on after my juice. What's up with that? Is it like a tax? There is no tax added on for my juice, so that could be it.
Well, Government? Where is all this money going?
Oh. Right.

They have been doing this in other provinces for a while now. It is a way to get people to recycle more. As far as I know, that deposit is about the same amount you would get back if you were to recycle it at a bottle depot or something. Recycling is huge down here too. We have a large bin, just like our garbage bin, that we put out every week and a truck comes by to pick up all of our recyclables. I am thinking that is why you had to pay that extra 8 cents.
Presidents Choice is Dominion's store brand,aka they make it so it's only sold at Dominions (or other loblaws stores).
The $0.08 is a bottle deposit, if you bring the bottle back to a recycling depot, you will get $0.05 of it back.
