Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Here is a bizarre sorta "first world problem" for The Duck. I mentioned above that I'm starting to reintroduce milk this week and was happy to discover it's on sale with Airmiles this week. I asked hubby to pick up a 2L container so i could start testing and we'd know by Sunday if i would be able to drink 8L (he can't tolerate much dairy at once!) He came home with the 2 bags anyway because they were the ONLY ones left and the manager knows us and told him they'll not be getting another delivery before Monday.

SO .. now my problem -- I'm worried that a run on the grocery stores and/or a shutdown in the delivery system anywhere will lead to a shortage of the 5 things I can currently eat. I'm just now done 5.5 weeks of this brutal diet and if i am forced to stop I'll need to do it all over again!!! I currently have 10 cans of the only tuna I've not reacted to and that will last me 5 days - it's my only source of protein right now. It's only sold in the No Frills and i about cleared the shelf off on Monday --- fingers crossed they have more! It's super $$$ and in the "natural" section with all the allergy products so not many people buy it.

Don't know if i want to brave going to Rexall or not to get my $30 worth of their products for my 100 miles or not. Had some health related news on Tuesday that's got me feeling sorry for myself and wanting to self-isolate for reasons not connected to COVID-19 ****there's nothing wrong with me, I'm perfectly healthy, funding has gone for a clinic i attend(ed)

I don’t want to think about that! I wonder if my credit card insurance would cover all of my wdw gift cards since they are unusable anywhere else...?
That would more than likely be a hard NO. Gift cards are non-refundable, even if a business closes. They'll never expire so this will force you to plan other trip !

What about Well.ca? Would they have the tuna? Hope the turn of this COVID-19 event won’t affect your diet plan!
 
Safe travels back home @mort1331 and anyone else who is now heading back home.

There's so much more I could comment on about what's going on in the world but none of it is positive so I'll just stop here. It's raining, I may just go back to bed after I do my walk on the treadmill.

Sending my love to you in words because the love emoji they have makes it look like you want to throw someone on the ground and have your way, if you know what I mean. Reminds me of the old cartoons where the persons eyes pop in and out of their heads. A simple heart would do it, lol.
Seriously, hope your day is full of cheer. Do what you can and don't worry about anything else.
 
I just read on the FB group there is a new AM website being tested...?
Oh yeah. I got to see the beta test, it wasnt that exciting to be honest. Then my laptop died and I forgot about it. It was slightly easier to navigate.
good grief! I've been landing on the beta page for close to a year now! I'll do a search of this thread when I'm at a computer later but I know it was happening loong before they shut down for a couple of days for a system switch over. It has gradually gotten better, it's been since mid January that I've been able to do anything other than just look around, I kinda like it.
 
I went to Rexall to do 2 $30 shops. Got everything I needed (no chocolate), came home and realized I'm almost out of my multi-vitamins. I'll go back tomorrow and see if I can do with one of the Rexall brands of those and pick up another 100AM.

A woman came to the cash who works at the nearby FreshCo. She was describing to us how busy that store has been since yesterday. She said the entire produce department was cleaned out. You couldn't get eggs or milk. She came to Rexall to get the two of those. People are going nuts. It's like Blue Friday craziness on steroids and without the AM.

Yup, I should have known from not being able to find a parking spot that No Frills was going to be insane!

I needed milk, just milk but when I walked in and saw the line that snaked past all the cashiers, down the frozen food wall and past the back wall refrigerated section I decided to try Shoppers as I needed to pick up a prescription. I walked out, there was no way I needed the milk that badly. I am sure those people would be in line for at least a half hour or more.

Shoppers happened to be just putting it out and I got 1000 PC points!
 
I was going to hit up Rexall but decided just to get my groceries at Freshco. It was hard to find a parking spot, so much stuff was out of stock. But they had all cashes open so it was quick to check out. The lady behind me was joking with me since I was not buying TP. Apparently it was one of the only stores that had any in stock (lady ahead of me went to 5 before finding it). I got what I needed for the most part. I may go to Rexall tomorrow, we'll see! Perhaps I'll just wait a little longer until people calm down a bit.
