Of course. If you wish to stay in business you must unless it is part of a larger strategy.
Large stores sell certain products at cost or slightly below cost for marketing reasons.
These are called loss leaders.
They will advertise these products prominently to entice you into the store assuming you will buy other items that are not subsidised. In fact other items may have a huge mark up on them, this more than repays the tiny amount lost on the loss leader.
The few pennies you save on a multipack of crisps is more than made back by the store by the several hundred percent profit the have made on other items.
Razor blades, for example, have a huge profit margin, at least several hundred percent and in many cases over a thousand.

Would you make a profit selling a home in Canadian dollars or in American dollars?
Depends on where you are selling the house and how much you sell it for. If you sell a house in Canada, you will be paid in Canadian dollars. The legal currency is Canadian. If you sell the house for a profit, then you make a profit. If you sell it at a loss, then you don't make a profit. Whether you are dealing in Canadian or American currency isn't relevant. It's what you purchased the house for and what you sold it for that determines if you make a profit.
