Did you know a bag of potato chips contains 1 potato, worth about .01 cents?
Interesting, a SA pharmacist at my SDM also did a review of my medications. Btw, what happened to the old group of pharmacists? Did they all become realtors? Killed by covid? Moved to Mexico? (A lawyer I know says many Canadian lawyers have moved to Mexico or Florida, including prominent government officials who are running the ship from away, via Zoom/Teams. Could explain their utter cluelessness about the realities we're facing.) |

A redditor claimed it was roughly 6-8 medium potatoes for your typical bag. Lay's claims 10-12 per pound (454g)...but that was probably before Roblaws style cheating :haha: Sometimes you just want a damn chip. Especially if you don't have to deal with GERD. That must suck, urbandreamer. Occasionally I'll make my own fries, though. F*** McCain's too, I'll support Cavendish. |

NN/PC chips are made in Winnipeg by Old Dutch Foods, an American company. I've heard the weight issues may be caused by the TFW replacements they've hired, ie too lazy/incompetent to check the cells with scales. I used to run a production line so have no idea how this would fly.
Store bought chips are very high in fat which certainly triggers reflux. Occasionally I eat them. Obviously homemade baked or airfried potato chips would be ideal. |

And I should mention that Empire has really been moving into urban markets by buying up other banners and creating some new ones which include Farm Boy, FreshCo, Longos and I think a couple more. The company also owns Lawton's pharmacies and Needs convenience stores in the Atlantic provinces. As far as the Western provinces and Northwestern Ontario they own the Safeway banner in Canada, Thrifty Foods and operate Sobeys stores and liquor stores. |
Again, NN is taking the blame for what is an Old Dutch Foods issue.
Attacking Galen Weston is lazy, when it's shareholders pressuring for reduced costs. Walmart and Costco are big threats, with considerably better supply chain efficiencies. Walmart being relatively new to Canada has less sway than Loblaws with produce suppliers which is why it's often overpriced and expired. I don't understand why SA shop at Walmart so much considering FB & NF have lower prices; perhaps they're loyal because their countrymen work there? |

They have manufacturing facilities in both Winnipeg and Calgary. I know someone who worked at the Calgary location. |

I agree that the groceries at Walmart aren't as good for what you pay but some people prefer it simply because they can shop for many non-grocery items at the same time. |
Walmart is good for vitamins and gluten-free junk food and cheap socks and underwear. Sometimes they've got good deals on motor oil and filters etc. But overall their clothing, appliances and household goods are inferior quality junk.
On road trips I do use them for washroom breaks, bananas and maybe a curiosity to check out the locals. Red Deer AB, Magog QC and Belleville ON take the cake for trashiest patrons. |

Will buying this olive oil help alleviate their terrible shopping mall crisis. ? |
I poke fun, but no one else in Canada was dedicated to attempting to create the best bus transit system in the country. Overall he's missed by many.
And we haven't heard if Bari was able to recover from the retailpocalypse |

IGA is like Subway — the very first “chain” you’ll find. Not sure it’s true everywhere but in Quebec it’s automatic for towns, this chain tier system: Very small — no chains Slightly bigger village — has a Subway Bigger little town — has a Subway AND a Tim Hortons Small city — has Subway AND Tim Hortons AND McDonald’s (and other chains too, often; when you’re big enough for a McD’s you’re big enough for any others, A&W etc.) |

Also assholic is adding salted water to meat, to raise the weight. They all do this. |
