Friday is my regular weekly shopping day. I have this vision that I will get in the store this afternoon and it will be picked clean. Until yesterday I was saying the same thing...what's the panic. Well, I work in long term care and things got VERY real yesterday. Now I'm a tad concerned but not about getting sick it's more about having to stay home and a bunch of other stuff. I agree I will just order groceries from Instacart or Grocery Gateway......and put a note on the door that says 'drop food, ring bell and run'. The reality of this virus is that we all need to stick together and help one another...not hoard the TP.I went to Loblaws after work getting a few items. The line was all the way to the back wall of the store. I gave up and left. It’s not Disney! So I am not waiting in that long line. Unless there is no supply, worse comes to worse, I will buy grocery online if I have to “self-isolate”. I don’t see the need to be in such panic.
We were at our 24 hour metro last night from 1-2am waiting in line, luckily they had 3 cashes openI just went out at 7 am to Metro, which I usually avoid. Since my community FB group was blowing up last night about huge lineups at all my area supermarkets like Walmart, and shortages. Sure enough, no paper products, no Tylenol only Advil, no dried pasta, not much meat, no canned products, no frozen vegetables.
It was surprisingly really busy but what made it worse is that only self check out line was open. Imagine everyone in line with carts packed full doing self checkout.
I’m working from home today but I think I will have to go out again this morning to another store.

Butter doesn’t seem to be an item people are concerned with. RCSS had a bunker filled to the top with butter.I need some butter and I always wait until it’s 2.99 at shoppers and get it there but I have a feeling I better be there for opening if I want to get any before it sells out. Sigh . I have zero interest in being up and dressed and in line for an 8am open. It’s butter , not rope drop at the Magic Kingdom
Thats still a great 30% return...i would be happyDid my Shoppers run at store opening today. It was lined up like crazy, but everyone was calm. I like that Shoppers has limits on the number of items like TP and PT.
I spent $97 taxes in and earned 33,000. Not the best return, but I just wanted to get outta there!
Okay, PC gurus, I have a question. I have earned and redeemed at the same time at Loblaws lots of times, so I thought I could at shoppers. However I loaded the 20x, and headed to shoppers this morning. I got over $110 in stuff, used points so I get a Disney gift card equivalent. I earned 0 points on the transaction, I thought I would have lots! Is it because I redeemed points? Or should I put in a missing points request?
