Mid-aft #grocery shop avoids the busy times. It is pretty good – not as nice as evenings though which is very relaxing.

Lately patronizing a place called Food Basics who seem to have improved their selection lately! Plus predatory #Canadian grocer #loblaws has been gouging us so much.

Most noticeable benefit beyond prices is the ACTUAL staff in the aisles stocking shelves! Haven't seen that in YEARS. Loblaws uses after-hours workers. Getting actual help finding stuff is so brilliant!

Did you do stuff today?

I started off slow but got some things done, including making a batch of yoghurt, donating some old clothes and getting some groceries.

Lots of good price deals on grocery items today, and yet another week of successfully avoiding #Loblaws. Their opportunistic gouging through the height of the pandemic period has really turned me off shoveling more cash into the coffers of Canada's wealthiest family.

Grocery chain, Loblaw paid it's new CEO, Mr. Per Bank, $22-million during his first six months in the job.

$22 MILLION DOLLAR SALARY

Meanwhile, and the conservative premiers are screaming at Canadians trying to convince us that 3 cents at the gas pump is why we can't afford groceries.

What was the last straw for you if you stopped shopping at due to high prices? Or any other big chain for that matter. Great article from Daily Hive of people sharing theirs. Visit the Loblaws is Out of Control subreddit to join with more than 39,000 other Canadians who will boycott Loblaws for the month of May. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/shoppers-last-straw-stop-shopping-loblaw

Boxed cereal manufacturers are selling cereal for $3.99 in #loblaws. That's not a sale price, they shrunk the boxes so much, they'll probably last two days. I guess people pushed back against the ridiculous prices and stopped buying the really big, expensive boxes. The #enshittification of #groceries continues. #ottawa #barrhaven #canada

When you’re in #loblaws buying groceries on a Friday night and bump into someone you haven’t seen in over 20 years.

Broadview and Danforth Loblaws is becoming a No Frills - pretty disappointing store most of the time so maybe this freshening up will help? Or maybe it’ll become a housing development a few minutes later.

Turns out the whole time that & inheritance billionaire were raking in record profits by gouging Canadians & was dishonestly blaming Trudeau every time he opened his mouth, his CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR WAS A LOBLAWS LOBBYIST.

They all but took the food right out of our children's mouths. Obviously there now needs to be a forensic accounting of #Loblaws/inherited billionaire #GalenWeston's donations to #Poilievre & the "Conservative" party. That's just for starters

Pretty sure #JenniByrne is about to become a household name in Canada and not for good reasons. I personally wish you the worst time of your whole life. You've earned it.

Hey Canada: #YouGotByrned
