Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

Yeah in Canada you have a few major companies owning the large swaths of grocery store chains: Loblaws, Empire (Safeway and Sobeys in Canada), metro, Pattison (saveonfoods).
Loblaws has been particularly egregious with Galen Weston going on a PR tour to pretend they haven't been screwing Canadians over decades, despite ever increasing profits. Loblaws is vertically integrated owning or having strict contracts with suppliers (financial products (PC financial), drug stores, clothing stores (Joe Fresh). They were found to have fixed bread prices for 10 years or more.
So this month there is an active boycot of Loblaws, their chains and brands, hence this community. Feel free to crosspost to other communities, though!
Nah. Someone, at some point, decided it would look nicer to the consumer like that. FFS, people buy pre-chopped vegetables now days.
Also, I'm pretty sure those would root and grow in a glass of water anyway. Been growing my own for years, I'll give it a try.
Side question : do you trim your green onions before they flower?
I mean, the leaf is a bit thicker, but it tastes the same.
This is paranoia. No one cares if you grow your own onions or not.
Other possibilities: poor training, spoiling product
What is safereddit?
It’s an instance of Redlib, a private reddit front-end. Fast, no ads, no tracking, and all requests get proxied.
Oh, interesting! I thought all of those got shut down when the API got locked down. Can you actually log in, comment, and that sort of stuff, or is it just for browsing?
Good question - just checked and it looks like it’s browse only. Good alternative to have!
I read more about it after asking and it looks like you can run it on your local network with a login state and then access it through a local URL on your phone. That's more effort than I'm interested in investing to view a site that's mostly trash content and bots now, but it's cool that it's available.
Is there an advantage to planting the roots of an already grown plant instead of buying a packet of seeds for 50¢? I'm guessing it would grow a bit faster buy I'm not a growologist.
I just stick the roots in a cup with a little water on the window sill. No planters/dirt/etc.
