No Frills Aisles of Glory game is back!

MG1 09-01-2022 04:13 PM

I'm glad the Glory Hole............. I mean Aisle is back.


No Frills needs to have an app.

I was at Canadian Tire. It was the Big Read Event. I got to the cash registers and showed them a competitors ad (Best Buy) for a price match. To my surprise they stopped matching prices (like a few days ago). They joined Walmart. They don't match prices anymore, either.

Anyway, thank god London Drugs still matches prices. Save-On-Foods, Superstore/No Frills, as well as, Home Depot. If I knew of their sudden policy change, I wouldn't have bothered going to Canadian Tire. Best Buy is pretty useless. Nobody answers the phones.

Fuck Bestbuy, garbage company. Don’t buy anything from them

A&W $3.99 Teen Burger is pretty decent. No app needed.

MG1 09-14-2022 03:47 PM

Burger King Angry Cheese Burger $2.00 via app.September 18th.

I just ordered a $5.99 King Meal Deal two sandwiches, small fries and a small fountain drink. Ordered a Chicken Burger and an Angry Cheese Burger. I don't do spicy, so gave it to my son. He said it's not hot at all. Said I wouldn't find it spicy, either.

As of the end of today, Dollar Drink Days are done for another year. Dollar coffee ends in six days.

whitev70r 09-26-2022 11:57 AM

With the rate of inflation going as it is ... it'll soon be $2 drink or $2 any size coffee!

MG1 09-26-2022 04:34 PM

Hopefully, it's like the Costco hot dog and drink deal. "You change the price and I'll kill you."

It's a loss leader, for sure. McDonald's, that is. Costco, not sure and not complaining, gulolol.

Just tried the BK Ghost Whopper. What a difference between the Whopper and the Big Mac. The Whopper is bigger and way better. I used their BOGO offer.

It's a limited time Whopper. It's just called Ghost Whopper because of this black sauce they use. It's definitely not Ghost Pepper.

Anyway, only one time use and via app. $7.49 for two. Damn!

Speaking of Big Mac's, $3 Canucks game day Big Mac's are back.

Yeah, pretty sick of the Big Mac............... Now, if they were Quarter Pounder with Cheese, that would be awesome.

whoppers always ALWAYS been better than the big mac. espcially the 2 whoppers for 8 bucks or whatever their usual 2 whopper deal is.

MG1 10-22-2022 05:00 PM

Just about anything is better than McDicks................ Dave's Single for $4.00.

MG1 10-22-2022 05:03 PM

The best deal in burgers is Red Robbin. Comes with bottomless fries. Join their loyalty program and get awesome deals. Free burger on your birthday for starters. Twofer once in a while, tenth burger free, etc. And, their burgers are pretty good.

$4 Dave's single cheeseburger at Wendy's.

Got one today. Didn't like the non toasted bun. Teen burger much better

Not worth my $3. I got a Big Mac awhile back cause they were doing 3 or 4 bucks. Never again, stick with qtr pound wtih cheese. Get it with bacon if you feel fancy.

Wendy's burger is quite good, as is Teen Burger. Not actually a huge fan of BK.

MG1 10-22-2022 07:16 PM

Forgot about Allen and Wright. I go there often as they are relatively close to where I live. McDonald's is no longer a big deal. The competitors are better. The coupon deals aren't great and the Monopoly promo doesn't pass the muster or even, cut the mustard

Amazon is actually accountable for their sales.

Took me a year to warantee my range I bought from BB. Had full receipts all documentation, etc. and they eventually gave me a brand new range because they didn’t want me coming into the station square location anymore and yelling

The grandmas were lined up at opening.

I had trouble finding Halloween candy at my local Walmart this weekend, and couldn't find anything at grocery stores yesterday when I ran out of candy halfway through the evening. Eventually found something, but the kids were all done by the time I got back home :(

Gone are the days you can go to Walmart and get cheap candy a day after Halloween. You need to be there right before they close or first thing in the morning now.

My son lives across the street from a Starbucks. He gets his morning cup o' Joe from McD's. Starbucks is a little too expensive for him, I guess. Anyway, I got an e-mail from Starbucks about this refillable cup that comes with free grandé size coffee every day in January. Perfect gift for him. Most places are out of stock, but I snagged me one at the Kensington Square location. Win!

Just checked prices of coffee at Starbucks. It isn't that expensive. Maybe he just plain doesn't like it. Damn............

EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: It's actually a pretty shitty deal. I went to pay for it this morning. When I called, they told me only two left. I told them to hold it for me. WTF? I was thinking 29 bucks, maybe 39 bucks. It's freaking $79.99!!!!!!

If you go every day, it might be worth it. I guess you can go multiple times every day in January. Frick, might as well give my son an $80.00 gift card. BTW, a grandé size coffee is $2.10. Nice dark green tumbler, though.
