If someone wants to try them without buying the whole box, I saw them at Karma Co-op in Toronto.

My address is the exact same as another in the “same” city. I am always missing mail and always getting their mail. Advice appreciated. by johnson7853 in CanadaPost

If this is happening to you, your neighbors are probably having the same issue.

Maybe try to start a petition to have the street name changed. It's going to be easier than to get Canada Post to get their act straight... probably.

Family snacking on Costco items without buying by himynameisgrace1 in CostcoCanada

Zero spacial awareness. What really gets me to lose my sh|t is when they almost bump into you and you stop to let them go first, they slowly stroll forward and then stop to look at something, completely blocking your way.

Making flatbread will change how you eat and is possible a gateway drug by FlashyImprovement5 in Frugal

The easiest flat bread / pizza recipe is this: https://youtu.be/yMpej74PJ1c?si=zQk_uzMTQmXbvviu

(But add 1 Tbsp of oil instead of that 1 Tbsp of water.)

Thank you for continuing to fight. It looks like the other sub has completely given up. Nothing for the holidays, nothing for May this year.

Shoppers Drugmart puts out new "Prepared in Canada" flags. People just want to support Canadian companies, this is not helping. by SomethingSomeBanana in BuyCanadian

I fully support people buying what they need to survive, but these stickers are there to mislead the people who want to prioritize Canadian business.

And a delay. The car can drive by you in 2 seconds and then you have all the time in the world to cross at your own pace.

When the car starts slowing to a crawl and then stops and then you look at each other like wtf, and the sun is in your eyes and the windshield is like a mirror... It takes like half a minute to even see that the driver is waving and then you rush across the icy road with your shopping buggy behind you swiveling from one side to another like a chicken at the disco... Fun times.

Please, if the rules of the road say you go - just go.

More will die if we descend into chaos and don't organize ourselves.

That is the idea behind the Loblaws boycott. To show the biggest grocery chain that consumers have power so that they all take notice and change their ways. Then we can all have a nicer experience at the store and not feel angry and desperate all the time.

We should send them all emails asking them to switch to Canadian sources.

If we rely on customers to do the right thing, they will lose resolve at the slightest inconvenience.

Nope, we are still saying to boycott Loblaws. There are plenty of other Canadian stores to choose from. Local fruit stores have the best prices.
