Sil and Bear With Me were talking about root beer lattes earlier, so I had to make one with what I have in my fridge!
Root Beer Noel Nog (soy this time) latte. I broke into my last packet of Root Beer Float for this one! So sad. It’s one of my favourite honeybush teas as it doesn’t taste sour to me.
Anyways, you might not think that root beer would go well with eggnog, but adding the nutmeg and rum to the vanilla and cream… this is an amped up hot root beer float. Really really delicious. :D
(12 oz tea, 8 oz nog added in stages, 16 oz mug)

Nice!! You should try it with the other root beer float and report back :P
(Or I should go search for any remaining nog locally. Hmm…)
I don’t have any of the other one left! I found it at my Safeway two days ago. They had soy, and some 50% off milk ones.
I meant to make this as an eggnog latte and I keep forgetting. Soon…
Lamesauce on both fronts! Boo to none of the other one left (i have just under half of the 750g I picked up before it went away again…) and boo to safeway (ours are all gone. They’re save on foods now)
That is so weird, Bear With Me! But stuff here is all turning in to Price Smart foods, and even Shoppers carries Presidents Choice, and I can’t remember who but something else got bought out by the same company as IGA. Thrifty’s and something else…
(I got 100g of the other one and enjoyed it, but not enough to get more!)
Thrifty’s is owned by Sobey’s now (and theh actually bought the property my old high school is on, and will be building a grocery store there once the new schools open and the old one is torn down). Superstore I think carries PC as well as no name. But yeah.
Sobeys owns Thrifty’s and Safeway now.
Yeah! That’s it. There are “Compliments” things at Safeway and IGA and Thrifty’s now. Blah. Safeway is even more expensive, and the accessible Thrifty’s is now a Price Smart.
I don’t like it because all the stores are carrying the same things. It’s boring. :)
Weird! If Sobey’s owns Safeway too, then why are the island ones all Save Ons instead of Safeways?
I’m glad our Thrifty’s are still the same awesomenesses, despite being owned by Sobey’s. A few of them are open 24hrs now which has come in handy a few times.
Rumour has it we’re getting a Whole Foods at Uptown soon. Hello expensiveness.
Maybe I have it wrong idk. I thought it said Safeway when I looked up Sobeys. I still miss the thriftys brand salsa. :( Cheap and delicious and in large containers! And surpisingly some things are way cheaper at Whole Paycheque Foods. I know, it doesn’t seem like it because all the new expensive fancy stuff tempts you and somehow finds its way into your shopping basket… but some things are cheaper. :)
I just wish Trader Joe’s would come here. Mmmmm cookie butter
Boo cookie butter. :(:( But yay wine in the grocery store. :D
Sobeys owns safeway and the competition bureau of canada made them sell off certain stores in certain areas re fair competition. Here several safeways became co-op foods. Loblaws owns both superstore and shoppers hense presidents choice appearing in shoppers…..
Sobeys has two “in house” brands – Compliments and Sensations. They’re similar to/the equivalent of “No Name” brand. Not sure why your Safeways are becoming “Save Ons” though (never heard of that company/chain). Personally I don’t mind the compliments brand – I think it’s definitely better than a lot of grocery stores’ private brands/labels. But maybe I’m a touch biased since I work for Sobeys now…
Save On is Overwaitea. Compliments gluten free stuff isn’t super great and is even more expensive than the known good brands. Makes me sad because they’re carrying more of their brands and less of the brands I want to eat. So I buy more at the local independent grocers.
Thanks, Dex. I thought Shoppers was going weird. ;) And they are! More PC stuff and less ‘Life’ stuff.
Sobeys also owns FreshCo, IGA, Foodland, and Price Chopper – and partners with Lawton Drugs for the in store pharmacies in many of those stores.
Whoa, Shoppers merged with PC?! This is blowing my mind! Will I even recognise my home and native land when I move back?!
40% off 250g on david’s website haha…
It’s so weird! And the only one we have is IGa. Idk what price chopper etc are.
Sil, I do not need 250g of it! I’m happy with what I had. :)
I must be weird…getting a huge kick reading about all these chains I’ve never heard of :)
heh
Grocery stores are FUN! When I travel, I like to check out new shops instead of eat at restaurants. :D
