I’ve been a fan of the #PCExpress pickup service since 2020. Four parking spots are reserved at our local Independent Grocer for customers who pay the PC Express fee.
Today two spots were occupied by the store owner’s new truck. Clearly this guy doesn’t give a shit about his customers. #Loblaw
People who've been reading me for a while may know I really like #hummus.
A while back, I posted about buying a different brand when I was shopping at a different store than I usually go to. It was a brand called Fontaine that I wasn't familiar with - made in Quebec, I believe.
It was awful. Actually inedible. I had one bite and had to throw the container away.
Well, yesterday I was at my local Real Canadian #Superstore - the local flavour of big #Loblaw grocery store - and all the space in the cooler normally occupied by #Sabra hummus - the brand I usually buy, and quite like - was instead taken up by "President's Choice" (house brand) stuff which I don't recall them having before. And there was also Fontaine-branded stuff, which I've never seen there before.
And, uh-oh, the President's Choice stuff is the same sickly pale colour as the Fontaine stuff. Could it be made by #Fontaine for them?
I needed hummus, and those were the two brands available, so I got the President's Choice. And yep, I would bet it's made by Fontaine, although the packaging has absolutely zero info about the source on it, other than "prepared in Canada" [1]. It's #inedible, and I threw out another container.
I guess I'm going to have to make my own. There are a million recipes out there - any favourites you'd care to share?
[1] Read this as "not made in Canada". They probably import chickpea paste and the other ingredients and just put them through a mixer in Canada.
A Manitoban
filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Loblaw for selling meat that’s underweight. They were counting the packaging in the weight.

Une Manitobaine
a déposé une demande de recours collectif contre Loblaw au sujet de la vente de la viande pour un poids inférieur à celui affiché. Ils comptaient l’emballage dans le poids.

A Manitoba woman, who blew the whistle on a case in which Loblaw sold underweighted meat across 80 stores in Western Canada, has filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against the grocery chain over allegations it consistently overcharges for meat and seafood by including the packaging weight in the final price tag.
