I can't believe how expensive groceries are now. It's awful.

Even here in #Vermont, about one-third of us live alone, but when you go food shopping, everything is packaged for families of at least 4.

We need more small #retail #grocery stores that affordably cater to singlets and couples (not yuppie/affluent DINKs), places that carry a limited range of stock, so they can keep costs low, but fresh for #cooking.

This ties in with my "Saucier" ("more saucy" and the brigade de cuisine term) fresh prepped foods store concept.

Not-entirely related but was from the same #Edmonton #yeg #shopping trip so adding here:

Awaiting in line for my #grocery purchase, I VERY surprised to see a ton of large, sharp kitchen knives for sale hanging on the endcaps of the cashier stations.

I feel as though #Loblaws / #Superstore grossly misunderstand the stresses of the season.

#PSA: perhaps this is already widely known, I have no idea. But I just learned about this last night, and found the experience rather distressing, so I thought I'd share.

If, like me, you have been carefully saving #grocery #GiftCards here in Canada, knowing that they are not allowed to expire under our laws, it is extremely horrifying that when the rainy day comes that you choose to use one, it doesn't work. And the implication is that perhaps you didn't actually pay for the card -- as in, did a little sticky fingering of some sort. 😡

Well, it turns out the grocery card that I got back in the day when #Superstore gave those out for reaching a minimum threshold of grocery purchases are so old that they are NOT in the system database, so the only way to use them is contact the phone number on the back and go through a digital process to have them assessed and then replaced through a digital gift card.

Tl;DR: extra steps may be necessary to activate old(er) gift cards in Canada

“Biden and company told Americans that their incomes were outpacing inflation, which was true but not what people wanted to hear. #Trump keeps insisting that #grocery #prices are way down, which is simply a #lie. And people may be noticing.” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...
