Re: Grocery bargains

Re: Grocery bargains

Not really money off coupons...although the co-op sometimes does that. It's more than a leaflet...several pages full of products reduced that week. This...

Re: Grocery bargains

I shop by bicycle. I know that, maybe, I'm lucky to have Sobeys and Superstore a 20 minute bike ride in one direction and very close together, while I have the same two stores available 15 minutes in...
