You pay a little bit more, but the quality is way better. Posted via RS Mobile | lol, its cheaper to go to steveston and purchase the fish and seafood, than to go to superstore, save-on, safeway etc.

I just heard a CTV commercial on team1040 that they are going to talk about "relabeling expiry dates" on Olsen on your side. I think it's on tonight.

oh man, their marketing team is going to have a ball with the damage to their rep.
I don't buy meat there. Canned goods, chips, spices and bread.
I really like their baguettes.

I don't get this, it seems like a lot of people are surprised by this type of product handling?
Did you really expect more from a corporation like Loblaws? Have you ever been in one of their stores? I still can't believe anyone thinks these guys have standards, because I know they sure don't follow any (ex-employee). Not in their product quality, sanitary upkeep, nor in their employee welfare (another shit flinging war caused by the union).
So how do they stay in business? Having the lowest prices by cutting corners to save money. Were addicted to saving because there's always somewhere cheaper right? Well this is what you get for trying to save a buck or two, and that's the sad truth.

No suprise. I have worked at a grocery store owned and operated by Loblaws. This company is all about doing everything on the cheap to increase their bottom line. I never buy anything "fresh" from them.
Fairway Market has similiar business model which is based in Victoria. Save money anyway possible.

Ya, worked at stupid store in the mid 90s and they were one of the worst employers ever. Took me 3 months to get my first paycheck because they fucked up my banking info and said we'll fix it next pay period time after time. They would constantly ask you to work Overtime but never pay you for it. Even though you swiped in and out they would cut your paycheck back so the management wouldn't go over on their budget hours to make it look like they were meeting there targets. You would be lucky if you got paid for 70% of the hours you worked every single paycheck that happened. They would then use the, we'll get you next time but they never would.
A Shady as fuck from the top down.

On the follow-up story last night they also mentioned Superstore had also been previously fined by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency after being caught changing the dates on lamb meat, a $100,000 fine I think they said.
It's just too chaotic to shop at Superstore, rather pay more to shop with less people and chaos around, same reason why I never go boxing day shopping.

Has anyone actually gotten sick eating meat from superstore?
It's not ethical but playing devils advocate, superstores not exactly the first chain to do this and no ones been sick eating the meat.
Stop trying to act holier than thou. "I only shop at..." and superstore is trash.
People shop at superstore cause they can't afford to shop at "high end" food retailers.

Again I'm just playing devils advocate. Posted via RS Mobile | Worst meat I've ever gotten was from T&T, before they got bought out.
Since then, I haven't found boneless beef shortrib on sale anymore 
Anyways, cheap meat isn't just at superstore.
The best meat prices I have ever found were at Supermarket 88 on Victoria Drive. Their selection is acceptable, and their turnover is really good.
If you're really that poor, you start getting good at looking for these things.

always thought/knew it
their fish especially always looks randy
and a few times we spotted double wrapped items on meats that looked questionable (as if they just ripped the labels off but not the wrap and wrapped it again)
and once you could actually see the previous best before date and we brought it to the lady that was placing meats out and she was like "oh! wonder how that happened" and put it in her cart
still go there the odd time to buy beef ribs so rare to find it at the other groceries

My friend works at a produce store and said that pasta polo buys their marked down left over vegetables at the end of the week by boxes.
If we are going to be grossed out by superstore, we should all be thinking about what kind of practices some of the restarurant do in the dark?.
