Those 5.99 bags of celery sticks are some of the best celery I've bought at supermarkets, and as a result my wife doesn't eat celery from any other stores. We haven't seen these for a long time (~2 months) though in both the Richmond Hill and Newmarket stores. Anyone in the GTA area seen these recently?

I've been buying their OROWEAT KETO WRAPS for a few months now. Stopped in Newmarket to pick some more up but couldn't see them. Anyone else notice they're OOS or gone?

Celery … just another food item facing shortages
Primarily due to extreme weather events

GOOGLE = Celery Shortage

They go really good with any type or sausage.

Strubs / Whytes … a Cdn Pickle Co
Started in Montreal

Strubs makes awesome pickles

Hot Pickled Pepper rings are yummy on a sausage, or a hot dog
But a MUST HAVE on a hoagie / Philly Cheesesteak !!!

Definitely a pickle to add to your Summer BBQ list
Along side their Garlic Dills & Sandwich Snackers / Slicers

Looks like Costco had ditched the containers for the rotisserie chicken in favor of bags. Too bad they aren't the insulated kind like A&P use to use back in the day.

Wondering if this is outlawed with the new plastic ban?

Not sure. I noted that it takes effect at Loblaws starting on the 1st. Wonder if that is across the board at all retailers? The roasted garlic legs still were in containers.

I buy the pure protein bars. A 3 pack is only around 20 dollars but I believe it’s on sale. It’s a really good deal. A package is usually 12 bucks at Walmart mart.

I would buy the smart sweets there but the only flavours they have are the fishes which I don’t like much. But I think it’s 5 bags for 10 dollars and it’s 2 for 7 at wal mart.

We're saying goodbye to plastic.... By putting your chicken into a plastic bag! Lol

Doesn't make sense does it? Our store recently switched to a white tray for the chicken where it was always a black tray in the past. I did notice yesterday that the biodegradable bags in the meat depn were pretty much all gone - hopefully it was just a backup on stocking.
