800 grams for $7 is $8.75/kilo or $6.37US/kilo which is right in that chart I posted's range for the last four weeks so I don't know what you are trying to say here.

Apparently at Food Basics, until next Wednesday at least, a bag of 5 is selling for $4.88.

and a 3 lb bag of oranges is $5.98 (or maybe less than US$4.20).
