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

I’ve been avoiding their stores for years.

Not only was I spending 100% of my grocery budget at a Loblaws owned store, but I can probably count on one hand how many times I’ve visited one in the last 6 years.

Switching to alternative stores saved me thousands over the years.

I mean I am just cause I never shop there and none of em are near me. I’m lucky that there’s an independent market near me for all the produce, and a really great fish market where I can buy wild caught, sustainable fish.

I’d love a UK based version for the major chains.

I refuse to shop at Sainsbury’s since they started having gates where yoy physically have to scan your receipt to leave. They have also started doing nectar card prices where they charge more if you don’t want them to track you. Tesco does the same. I’m not sure about Morrisons and Asda. Waitrose just costs more no matter what.

The receipt scanning is insulting. Inconveniencing all customers because they might be shoplifters is lousy customer relations.

They do not have a presence in my small town. I would have to drive 30 minutes to not shop with one of their stores. So by default I am boycotting.

I tend to avoid the large corps where I can (Amazon, Walmart) recently moved to buying what I can from farmers markets and honestly having someone remember you and be proud of their product is a game changer, and tastes better too.

So yeah absolutely boycotting em
