That's how it goes folks. Once leeches dig their fangs into you, they don't fall off until they are fully sated and bloated with your blood...in the case of Food Basics Grocery chain in Toronto, they are definitely not done with you yet.
Shoppers Drug Mart has stopped charging customers for the bags and tell customers they can take a donation instead if the customer so desires. Now, that's common sense. From now on I will show my appreciation by identifying the things I can avoid buying at Food Basics and buy those same items at SDM instead, if the prices are same at both.
Haven't visited No Frills or any of the Weston/President's Choice chains today. Will post updates when I do.
I pay a nickel for a bag here in Chatham On. and we don't have a bag tax. Certain grocery stores have a policy that if you need a bag you pay for the bag. If you bring your own, you save a nickel. Giant Tiger on the other had, gives you a nickel discount from your price if you bring a bag.
ReplyDeleteI would shop at Giant Tiger ... someone there really cares about the environment and is willing to pay you if you care about it too.
