For years, that was a free parking spot I'd use on weekends. Never weekdays or during rush hours though. I guess someone finally narc'd or bylaw noticed.

NVM, just checked it again........ prices look updated now. Fokkers!
$5.00 for 30 minutes is actually not bad for the area.

It's a bit of a trek to PC, but if you park under the courts, it's $3/h on the weekends iirc. I haven't been in a LONG time so I don't know if it's still that cheap. It's usually not busy and it's a best kept secret thing. If you drive all the way into the end of the parking lot, you come out of the UBC area/church thing behind the art gallery, out a side door.

My go-to parking lot as well, courtesy of A-RTD LOL.
My only concern about that lot is that it can be a bit sketchy - in the times that I've parked there, so I wouldn't park there for long.
If $5/30mins is cheap, I paid $25 to park at AWS, The Post for 12 hours LOL. It feels a lot safer for break-ins etc.

Not sure if it’s at all Sungiven locations, but the one near the Burnaby Golf Course / squint Lake has 2 hot item over rice for $5.00 off. $7.99. I’m not into it and don’t even know if it’s any good. Just an FYI.

Does anyone have a hack to get the last 5-10 ml of detergent out of those jugs? Bothers the hell out of me. I turn it upside down and still, they design in such a way that even if you let it sit upside down for hours, it still will not flow to the cap.

Was at my local Safeway. They have a deal for chicken from their deli. A thigh and drumstick for $2.00 Not the greatest chicken, but a buck a piece? The thigh I got was huge! The last time I saw thighs that big was in high school - this Italian chick (that wasn't the only thing big with her). Anyway, they also have a box of wedgie fries for $2.00. Supposed to be medium, but the Kensington Square Safeway gives you the large box. Then, I ask if I can get onion rings instead for that price. Yup, not advertised, but it was $2.00 for the large box. Now, the onion rings are not that great. Not the A&W crispy kind.
Anyway, regular price for the chicken is $4.49 and the onion rings $7.29.
After I order the onion rings, everybody else behind me in the line gets the onion rings, jbol.
Even the workers there said they'd get it for lunch. They weren't sure if the onion rings would be that price until they put mine through.
Oh, the deal is only on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 5:00. I was told they usually run out by 4:00. The deal has no end as far as I know. A month I would say. Burnaby North Secondary students would be all over it, Im sure.

Just so happens to be at a Safeway today, read this, checked out the deli and lo and behold, Toonie Tuesday. Got me some and indeed, it was decent.

last month i cancelled all my streaming services except for amazon and im not going to renew those until i exhaust everything (we're interested in) from the amazon library. then ill do the same for amazon and renew only one streaming service until that service is exhausted and repeat. i find myself spending more time looking for something to watch than watching.
i also ditched spotify individual for a student plan since i dont listen to audiobooks.

The saved money however may go to a Paramount+ sub so I can watch the Star Trek shows.
