Is anyone else boycotting Loblaws? I don’t have many alternatives, but I’m doing my best to take my business elsewhere.

The only places I’ve had to cut out was shoppers, and I go there so rarely that it really didn’t matter.

Their grocery stores have been garbage for so long that “boycotting” is such a moot point to me. They’re the only nearby grocer that forces you to buy the amount of a listed item to actually get the discount (ie, if an item is 2/$6.00, buying one charges you full price, not $3.00). Between that and many items being ~5-10% higher than the other grocers, I’m not sure why anyone shops there to begin with.

And they’re always some ridiculous quantity for the item too. Like 4 4L jugs of milk for $18 or $8 each (made up example but not far off).
