That new condo at the corner with the whole foods in it looks ace.
Also, I've been considering moving into the Empress Walk condos. Going to loblaws or taking the subway without having to leave the building? Yes please

They've only lost once in all the times that I've watched
Yeah, they won today -- completely bonkers. Half the people left as soon as the rain got a little heavy and maybe a minute after we tied the game up. A few minutes later, when it was pouring, we scored and won the match We're not the worst! We're not the worst! We're not the worst!

For the beer lovers here, St. Bernardus ABT 12 is coming back to the LCBO soon. Real soon. I heard 7000 units were coming into the Durham warehouse.
This isn't nearly as hard - or expensive - to get your hands on as the Westvleteren 12, but demand will probably be high all the same since they don't stock it regularly.

I'm still bitter about Wesrvleteren. My friend works for the LCBO and his aunt is a manager and I still couldn't get any.
This *1000. It's only going to get worse too. Loblaws near me can't even keep chicken breast in stock.

Yonge and Shep is definitely a nice area. Most of the pleasures of downtown minus the hassle

The weather is disgusting. I had to wear long sleeves AND a hoodie on top. Weather not endorsed by #teamwarm
I love Yonge/Shep, Finch and Steeles. Willowdale and North York Centre in general are awesome.

I can't go into food basics. It's just too ghetto for me. All the produce looks a tad off or downright bad, and it's just messy and stock is weird. No frills/price chopper are doable.

Produce and meat can be pretty grungy at those places compared to Loblaws, Superstore, Sobeys etc...
I never buy meat at Food Basics, everything seems so grungy. It's the closest grocery store to me so I'll buy most other things there. Thankfully I have a FreshCo and a Loblaws within walking distance as well.
We had the Monster Hunter GAF meetup at a 1 & 1/2 Yelp star rated establishment and we all survived. Well, I didn't eat food there but heard no one got food poisoning!
I guess it's case-by-case; I've seen some very kempt No Frills, and a Food Basics near me which just opened about a year ago is still clean and well-maintained.
I've never been to a Freshco which isn't in great condition, however. In fact the Sobeys store which is walking distance from my place is closing down to be replaced with a Freshco in the next couple months. I couldn't be happier!

The No Frills near me closed down this month and the Sobey's has been gone for quite a while. There's a Food Basics that just far enough away to be annoying to walk to. I guess I'll have to start going there.
I live in the Church/Wellesley Village so I'm close to that big-ass Maple Leaf Gardens Loblaw's.
I quite like Loblaws, it's got a good quality to price ratio and the stores are always clean.
Food basics is really hit or miss and the one near me is disgusting.
No Frill is pretty good too generally
The worst is Metro which is just as expensive as Loblaws, but everything is of so much poorer quality. The only thing it has going for it is that they're open 24 hrs.
Da best is T&T tho

Generic Asian guy bro fist.
I like Sobeys, too. It always looks so clean, but so devoid of customers.

I stole EM's food mwahahahahaha!
They have some nice stuff and some grossly overpriced stuff. (I bought some mangoes at the loblaws, walked across the mall to find the same brand of mangoes at Pusateri's at 3x the cost)
Also, I've stopped wanting to go there at all since the cockroach incident a year or two back
Went to dig up my old report cards so I could finish up my school...
Noticed under my grade 11 math "exam not completed, credit not granted"
The rage fit I am in right now as it was my highschool highlight... came in an hour late, got 97% on the exam and passed the course (WITH HONORS)
Fuck you TDSB, fuck your shit to hell. No wonder I dropped out.

Wait...what happened?
Hearing you guys talk about Loblaws and complaining is interesting.
My family has a rudimentary class/tier list for some of the grocery stores. (Although I think my list might be a little off).
Low income: No Frills | Food Basics | Price Chopper
Middle Income: Superstore | ???? | Freshco
High-Middle Income: Loblaws | Metro | Sobeys
Basically, this is the target income range for each store(/chain) and prices accordingly.

They say it was just isolated at the avenue store, but I hear they have stock going in between their stores.
Also the owners are dicks
I always thought Superstore and Loblaws were basically interchangeable. Also, Metro does not deserve to be there with how crap their produce and meat is, maybe Longo's or Whole Foods
Also, didn't all the price choppers turn into Freshcos?
Face it Tiger..
Banned
Fixed.
But Loblaws owns No frills / Superstore / Itself. That's why I listed it as such.
Same as Food Basics and Metro.
The third group is the one that might be off slightly.
Oh, and trust me. Superstore customer service is not the same level as Loblaws. Loblaws has food bagging AND home delivery service (for a charge).
Yeah, if it's confirmed I have to grovel for someone to take my Friday shift since I just got back and they want to throw me back for closing shifts until my eyes bleed. Or I miss it.
That or we should give some notice and have it after a FanExpo day or something later in the month.
QFT
Florious TFC win in the last 5 minutes of the match. I got soaked due to the rain, but it was damn worth it.
TFC is so poorly run compared to impact and whitecaps

The new frescho on lakeshore is kinda bleh.
Much prefer Loblaws.
Never...heard of a grocery store running out of chicken breasts...but I also never thought a burger place could run out of meat (Burger's Priest)

Sorry to hear, Dopey.
So, you did the exam and they didn't count it, even though you were given a grade? If so, that is odd.
What do you need to do now?
lol ultimately I shop at all of these stores (except Price Chopper and Superstore cause there aren't any near me), but most of the time only buy stuff which is advertised in the flyers anyways.
yeah... I'm one of those people who hop between supermarkets to get all my groceries done...
This was 13 years ago lol just felt like getting into college/university again... Just discovered it when I unburied my old school crap trying to find my OEN (I still don't know if I have it)
I'm just going to get my transcript, use ILC for a year or so (I will tear through the coursework) judging by that report I still need 13 credits. I would be crying over the math course but I'll just use grade 11 math as a refresher course, I guess. It's only $40 and a few days of my time... (Or month due to mail wait times) Oh well.

Longo's for the win. Because they cared enough to locate near me ^^ So thoughtful.
