Before I start with this week’s flyer review, I would like to talk about Loblaws for a moment. Well, complain really. You see, while I’m hospitalized and do not necessarily need to grocery shop, I do occasionally help some of my family members by buying them some food. And I also fill my Aunt’s freezer with my stash of ice cream (thank you Aunt Paul!).

Back to Loblaws. The last couple of times that I’ve ordered groceries – and ice cream lol – the meat that I ordered and was on sale, expired the very next day! THE NEXT DAY! The first time it was not caught until they got home so it was frozen immediately. This time, it was caught and refused at the store. I ask only this. Does Loblaws think that we are stupid? Burn me once, shame on you! Burn me twice, shame on me!

I wonder if other customers using their online shopping program have had similar problems. Does anyone know? Now Walmart beats Loblaws in 3, three, areas! #1 – Walmart offers Ad Match to their online shoppers! I saved over $21 last order! #2 – If Walmart runs out of a product, they will give you the closest available product at the lower price! I once ordered a small bag of Werther’s. Walmart ran out of the small bags so they gave me the larger bag for the price of the small bag! Woo-hoo! Now Loblaws, well if they run out of something they’ll give you the closest available item AND charge you the higher price. Buggers! #3 – I’ve never had Walmart give me anything that was about to expire. EVER! Loblaws = FAIL!
