As I am currently downing a bag of Swedish berries DH brought home. I looked and they are zero fat. (not any nutrition but if you need a safe cheat...)
And this will soon become another takeover of a Canadian company that will fail. McKesson really needs to learn about their target market. The Canadian consumer is a different breed. (Target anyone..)They will learn soon enough, unfortunately it will be the hard way. I was a Shoppers Drug Mart shopper (it's closer to my home), I switched to Rexall because of the Airmiles. Like others have said, without that incentive I'm switching back.
It's a Saturday so there may a bit of a lineup. Can't say I've been to many opening hours of that mall in years.Keep in mind if you're staying in Kanata that you will need to go downtown to get to the store. Leave yourself enough time (weather depending) to get there, park and navigate your way to the store. The mall can be a bit confusing to get around in.
the $5 one? That one is problematic at the best of times! It has a ton of restrictions of items not covered and there are certain stores I've been to that where that coupon overrides every other one. For me? I won't even try to use it tomorrow but I know there are lots of people who have no problems when they use it.
I hope the process works out well! Pixie dust!!Thanks so much for the support gang. I wasn't looking for any sympathy (does help though) just wanted to bring my "family" up-to-date with part of the "why" behind our switch from a Mexico trip to a Disney one. We had found a resort that was supposed to be excellent but i got a private message from a friend when she was there begging me to switch if at all possible. She's 100% fluent in Spanish and had been served dairy 4 times in less than 24 hours with the explanation that none of the following are dairy: yogurt, cheese, ice cream and butter. If they couldn't handle that relatively simple restriction there's zero chance mine would have been followed
We were also able to extend the trip for close to the same cost so win-win!
To answer some specific comments:
corn- never had a problem but it's not one of the five foods I'm allowed right now. The formula I'd be using (if someone would actually get back to me!) has the proteins (which cause the allergic responses) already broken down
Fish- one of the chefs at POFQ convinced me to try some salmon after listening to this stupid list and he tried SEVERAL different ways of cooking it for me until we found one i actually don't mind
Spending time here- OMG it's such a welcome distraction, if i put my plate beside me and shovel the food in I can *almost* get past the gagging reflexI know *they* say don't eat when you're doing something else or you won't enjoy your food and/or eat more than you should -- BOTH of those are bonus for me!!
Question that no-one asked but might be worth answering anyway:
WHY on earth am I doing this?
I've mentioned here before that i been dealing with severe gastritis for about 10 years now (caused by use of a RX medication that has since been deemed to be harmful in the dosage i had been taking for something else for about 20 years!) and while that was annoying, it was manageable with a restricted diet. I ended up having a specialized test in May that involved a dye and after that all heck broke out and my entire system revolted. Didn't matter what i ate i was getting welts in my mouth, tongue & lips were swelling, gastritis was bringing me to my knees in pain as i cried for hours on end, and eventually trouble breathing. We slowly found a small group of foods that only caused those problems *occasionally* and for 7 months that's all i ate. Now we're going to see if we can find out what I'm actually allergic to and the AMAZING allergist we're dealing with even thinks that's the core to my gastritis.
I remember trying to use it the second time within a day and it didn’t work a few years ago. It’s “per day”, so it’s once per day per customer. You can still try. Worse come to worse it just doesn’t work.
I hope you can come to love the dark side of points collecting lol
