Other than that, um, no.

When Murph pipes in with the featured Safeway Score and Win product, Shorty and Garrett have a 30 second discussion regarding the merits of said product.

/They both really like Kraft peanut butter.

Garrett likes it cause he doesnt need to use a utensil to eat it

So is/was Grinder. Darren McCarty was their lead singer. I saw them once at Harley Fest, he made the wise choice of sticking with hockey as a career...

The cheese and butcher at the one near my house are awesome, but the only reason I go there otherwise is because it's the closest to me, and I ride my bike everywhere, so that matters.

It's really the clientele that drives me away...and the price. It's awful. Just awful. Giant Eagle has Market Districts now (though not near me) that are very similar but nicer somehow. Cheese and everything!

We have No Frills out here in Newfoundland, they're good, relatively cheap, lots of good food there as well.

I honestly stopped shopping at Metro, Loblaws, Sobeys and Loblaws. It's the same products and bad fruit/veggies as the cheapies but in a nicer locale. I had a FreshCo across from my old building and now have a No Frills around the corner from my house. Does just fine.

I do usually buy my choice meats from a butcher and my fish from the Portuguese market uptown, though.

Loblaws did do a pretty good job converting part of Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, though:

$16,000 is about $120,000 in today's money.

Speaking of Pierre his question to Therrien last night 10 minutes into the game, right after the Habs scored was a great one.

Pierre: "Coach, why do think there is no pace to this game?"

Therrien: Looking surprised - "That's a great question" then answers something else.
