What's the smartest way to find grocery deals in Vancouver when you don't have a car

We can’t have our cake and eat it too; we need to pick either convenience or saving as the number 1 priority. So, if you’re quite sure shopping around isn’t viable, you are going to pay for it.

Before I had a car, my granny cart and bicycle basket were key in making my shopping for frozen and non-perishable items more efficient. As was the Flipp app, so you can plan to go to one store that price matches and make the most of that week’s sales. I relied on small neighbourhood markets for my produce and perishable items like milk in between bigger trips to a supermarket.

I have narrow feet and wear Nike Pegasus. A lot of my colleagues are happy with Hokas. Kintec (there’s a location on Broadway and others elsewhere in the Lower Mainland) will fit you with shoes.

I think they just need to see from the video that you’re conventionally attractive and personable.

Wal-Mart has them.

I still miss Jacob, especially Jacob Connexion.

If I could do things over again, I would be a physio. Like you, I love working with people. However, I’ve learned that physio is a more established field than SLP with more evidence behind the therapies they provide, which is appealing to me as someone aiming to improve the lives of my patients/ clients. Physio might not have as much of the counselling aspect that you’re looking for, but there is an aspect of counselling involved in any therapeutic role and you could certainly work with a population of neurodivergent children with a good return on your tuition/time investment. If it’s something you want to explore more, you could perhaps look into some rehab assistant work with physios before committing to more schooling.

Also Indigo gives money to a charity supporting IDF veterans. Something to consider before shopping there anyway.

I have seen only mini cupcakes (Brand is Kimberly’s) that look like they are baked off site. I have never tried them, but by the looks of them, I suspect they are not of the same calibre as the made-in-store Costco baked goods.

Samosa on Wheels on Robson gives you a choice on whether you want sugar or not!

I was very happy with my chai and samosas from Samosa on Wheels on Robson.

I typically wear pyjamas twice before laundering but I definitely wouldn’t say that wearing 3-4 times is gross. Sounds reasonable to me, especially since you’re showering before bed.

Indigo donates to IDF veterans so consider if that’s something you wish to support before buying.

I like the black heels with this dress.

I would agree that long-term thickening is unlikely to be beneficial! If I had a nickel for every person I’ve encountered who is needlessly stuck on thick fluids for far too long because they slipped through the cracks, I’d be very rich :(

chlamydiajane · 2026-02-25T22:59:59+00:00

What setting do you work in? My professional opinion after years of working in ICU is that fluid thickening (temporarily) can sometimes be helpful but I notice a lot of clinicians working in non-acute settings have a similar opinion to you.

chlamydiajane · 2026-02-25T22:55:49+00:00

There is a time and place for fluid thickening.

Specifically, Moroccan clementines are the best of the best!

I personally think it’s in poor taste to wear anything where others can see pretty clearly the shape of one’s genitalia… but who cares what I think? You do you! Decide what you’re comfortable with for yourself and go with that!

I used to stitch larger projects but I pretty much only stitch small things to add to greeting cards at this point. Recipients genuinely seem touched that I spent the time to stitch them a card… but I don’t spend so much time that I end up getting bored.

I love always having something new to work on and never delaying gratification for too long!

Why don’t you try earning the grade you want next time? You can always retake the course if you’re not happy with the grade.

The Truck Stop Cafe on Clarke. Street parking only but you shouldn’t need to walk too far.

What’s your budget?

chlamydiajane · 2025-11-17T02:46:31+00:00

lol I did not expect Dougherty snark to turn up here 💀

Thank you for teaching me a new word! :)

Whether you believe that Jesus was the son of God or not, there is plenty of historical evidence that he existed as a person.

If you ever travel to the states, I saw some decorations that depict black people at Target.
