Stepping into the Real Canadian Superstore on Brimley Road feels like entering a culinary United Nations. Aisles stretch farther than airport runways, produce glows like stained glass, and the scent of freshly baked President\she whispered, nodding toward the store\it\the discount stickers. Timing is everything. Weekday mornings around 10 am, employees start tagging items approaching best-before dates. I once scored $42 worth of prime rib for $9.47 because I chatted with Derek, the meat department guy who marks down items while sipping his Tim Hortons. He tipped me off about the \Build relationships with department staff they\scan everything because prices often drop lower than marked. And don\meat section. Freeze immediately and you\they disintegrate like confetti. After testing every store brand, I keep a mental tier list: PC Insiders Collection for gourmet steals, regular PC for staples, No Name for basics like sugar and rice.
Friday afternoons transform the store into a savings battlefield. That\ads for price matching. The cashiers at Lane 12 know me well they\money not spent here funds my daughter\it\what\s your method? Ziploc vs vacuum sealing? Any freezer burn hacks?
Seriously need a tutorial on price matching. Tried it once and held up the line for 10 minutes while the cashier checked flyers
Has anyone tried growing herbs from the discount wilted basil? My windowsill garden came from $0.49 plants
