My husband still misses those burgers. Took him until about two weeks ago to buy a burger there! He was not a happy camper. Says they don't begin to compare. Homemade BBQ'd are the best but every company out there quit making red relish this summer so - have to find a new favourite BBQ'd item.

Dear God My prayer for 2012 is for A fat bank account & a thin body. Please don't mix these up like you did last year. AMEN!

No - the whole idea of a slow cooker is to come home to a meal at the end of your work day. Leave things like potatoes whole and they can cook all day too. Come on now Iggy. You know that all you have to do is pour the sauce onto the meat in the slow cooker and voila! more into the meat at meal...

Buy a slow cooker. I'm going to buy one today. Try Pulled Pork, try - everything. I bought a crappy roast for $7.47. I bought a cheap one on purpose to try out my pressure cooker. However, our son brought his slow cooker over and it's been sitting here for a couple of weeks. The other day, I...

The suspect in the slaying of an Armstrong teenager is also accused of attacking a sex trade worker six years ago in Kelowna, RCMP said Wednesday.Read full story>

New Democratic Party leader Adrian Dix attacked the government Tuesday for the length of time it is taking to return the provincial sales tax to British Columbia. “The slowness in making the transition back to the PST is hurting the economy and costing jobs,” Dix said during question period.Read...

I forgot about Buy Low Foods but I don't think I knew it was one of his many stores. He can be a real piece of misery - particularly to his employees but he gives a considerable amount to the places that need it, such as hospitals. I think he owns about 8 businesses in this city alone and he...

Your grocery bill: a close-up look at Canada's supply management system

[/FONT] Our son brought his slow cooker over. We have racks of ribs cooking as I write this - simmering away in there with BBQ sauce and some spices. As we get closer to dinner, I will make home made Spanish Rice (totally delicious) and our meal will be done too. The ribs will be lovely and...

Nope. Overwaitea is many names but they did not buy out Super Valu. Super Valu just slowly died. Overwaitea = Save On Foods, Price Smart, Coopers, Urban Fare. The name Pattison is on many many things including every radio station in Nanaimo and many car dealerships across BC. Saw JLM's comment...

Well Juan, you believe what you want to. Do remember - people need their jobs and they will do what they are told to do. When you are hired on in these places, you sign a multitude of papers regarding what you will or will not do or say on or off the job. All those pages clearly state that if...

Not in Nanaimo anymore. They closed it and it's a Sport's type store now (hunting, fishing, camping stuff etc.). What we were told when I worked at the store was that to be truly organic, the food must have the words "Certified Organic" stamped on it. There is probably no absolute organic...

Vernon had "rat" control but I've never heard of any here. I know that they prefer people don't put out food for birds because it attracts rats! Gross eh!

Costco sells Alberta beef. I think most of us buy meat and freeze it. Naturally, by the time we consume it, it's usually past the BBD. All I am telling you is that SS has been charged twice recently with changing the BBD's meaning you could be buying meat that has already passed it's best before...

Run a colder fridge and things freeze and then you can end up throwing stuff out much faster. Have to watch those veggies and fruits because ice means slimy and out they go.

Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front? Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the...

That is especially true of any frozen fish you buy in the meat department. I can say that in the Save On I worked at, the guys in the meat dept. were really strict about the way things were handled. One guy told me not to buy their burger patties that are mixed in the rest of the meat area such...

Just remember to bear in mind that there is (going by Goober's post and what I know myself) a very good chance you are eating meat that has probably been thawed and re-frozen for one thing and could have a changed "best before" tag on it. My daughter-in-law buys almost 100% of their groceries...

Don't take me wrong but - buying perishables at SS is risky. Their meat is never triple A. They have been fined twice in the recent past for changing the date on their perishables. I never buy any meat there. I only go to that store for some items like shampoo, bath soap and some of the stuff...

Winds gusting up to 90 km/h battered Metro Vancouver and parts of Vancouver Island Friday afternoon as a part of a cold front moving south along British Columbia’s coast.Read full story> This was quite something else yesterday. Our dining window faces the ocean. I looked out and the sun was...
