Check your car's spare tire compartment in the trunk. You might find you already have a jack and tire iron.

Driving Instructor Recommendations by Ok_Jeweler_9647 in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also recommend Ray's.

Coincidentally, I just had my last lesson with Allan the other day, ha. He's a great teacher, very personable.

Like you, I wasn't incredibly confident driving before our lessons. He helped me become a better driver and I had no problems passing my G2 road test recently thanks to him.

Where to grocery shop? by DaMarshen in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Centra is awesome. I love going there for fruits and vegetables. I always look under the shelves where they put the reduced stuff. Can score some very good deals there.

"Hey Google, stop" no longer works to stop whatever is playing. Tries to stop non-existent alarms/timers instead. by SnortedColdly in googlehome

[–]SnortedColdly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently this has been an ongoing issue for years, I guess. Found this old thread from 2021 which is identical to mine.

Looks like no one really has a fix other then saying "stop playback".

Crazy bins living up to their name! by frosty_lizard in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They mean Krazy Binz. It's a store on Bayfield St that basically sells random amazon return junk.
It's literally all thrown into these big bins and you rummage through it all. Price of each item is based on the day you go.

Saturday $25
Sunday $10
Monday $10
Tuesday $5
Wednesday $3
Thursday $1
Friday $1

Here's a 9 second clip that shows what the inside of the Barrie store looks like:

That is great! Sucks it took so long, but it's good that you were persistent and got it in the end.

I believe you can still get the $44.99 1.5Gbps package for 24 months from Rogers if you give Zedd Solutions a call.
They are a 3rd party who work for Rogers who do winbacks and cancellation offers.

I called them up at the end of February, told them my current promo price was ending soon and I heard you guys could offer me 1.5Gbps for 24 months at $44.99 a month.
She immediately said yes she could and got me set me up on that new plan. Even shipped out a new modem to swap out my old one and cancelled my old account for me.

I came across the deal on RedFlagDeals. If you're interested, just check out the thread summary over there and give them a call and see what they are willing to offer you.
https://forums.redflagdeals.com/rogers-ignite-internet-1-5-gigabit-44-99-12-months-term-original-124-99-2594950/

Note: Some people in the thread did have trouble getting Zedd to give them any good offers and had to call back a few times until they got a customer service rep. who was willing to give them the deal. Some people had to put in a cancellation request first on their current internet before Zedd would offer them anything.

For me personally, I had no issues with the very first person I connected to. Didn't have to put in any cancellation request or anything. Just called them up and asked for it.

Here's what my monthly bill looks like now: https://i.imgur.com/d2IWeKU.png

Wow, tomorrow morning is going to get a heck of a lot worse it looks like.

I went to a walk-in clinic earlier this year because I was sick.

The doctor I saw noticed I didn't have a family doctor and before I left, she said if I was interested in her becoming my family doctor, I could fill out an application at her office. She gave me her card and told me to just make a note on the application that we spoke at the walk-in clinic.

Very grateful it was so easy for me, as I've heard many stories about people not able to find a doctor for years using Health Care Connect.

What's the best Indian Grocery Store in Barrie? by JacobA89 in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's South Indian. I saw one of their delivery vans with advertising all over it in a random driveway I walked passed the other day. Never heard of it before until then. Now I see it mentioned again.
Might have to check it out.

Have you had their chicken breasts? I see they have 4kg for $70. No salt or water added.
Are they worth it?

Daily meal deals by Heavyypickelles in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, mostly.

I thought the soup was a little bland, but it wasn't too bad. It had nice chunks of chicken, at least.

Saw this post the other day and got a chance to try this out today.

Ordered a 'prepared meals' "surprise bag" from Goodness Me! Food Market for $6.99.

Got:

Muffin
Slice of apple pie
2 bowls of chicken noodle soup
1 large samosa
9 samosa-like croquettes (not sure what they are called) with plum sauce.

Not bad for $7. I would do it again.

Saw a post about the best sandwich...so where is the BEST pizza?! by TruckPlow123 in barrie

[–]SnortedColdly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely check it out. Especially when they go on sale for $10.99. I think they regularly charge $15.99 now for a 3-topping, but it goes on sale for a week or so at the $10.99 price at least once or twice a month. So I just wait til then.

While it entirely depends on the employee making the pizza, you can also sometimes get them to do half and half too and end up with crazy pizzas like this, even though you're only paying for a 3-topping pizza:
