I was just at shoppers to get the simply foods Chicken nuggets on sale. None on the shelf so asked the stock guy if any in the back or if I could get a raincheck. He said no rain check as they are no longer going to be carring simply foods items. They will only be carrying Extra Foods no name brand. On the way out there was a clearance shelf full of simply foods cereal. Keep an eye on your shoppers for clearance simply food deals.
Nice thanks for the heads up
Shoppers is about to be ruined. :-(
@Poppy111 , what were the clearance prices like?
Thanks.
by Loblaw, just like how they screwed up T&T supermarkets.Quote:

Thanks - I think someone mentioned this last week, but I have to check it out!
Oh thanks for the heads-up, we always buy their burgers, brown box...they are deadly. Will watch for it too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the heads up! :)
What about simply food omega3 eggs?
My friend was told ALL Shoppers brand products were to be discontinued in the future and replaced with Loblaws house brand items (do they have Loblaws Omega3 eggs Momi?)-this apparently will include Life brand health and beauty as well as the food items.She's hoping to get cheap fabric bandaids when it happens.Canned veggies were .49 last week here,but are up to .99 as per this weeks flyer.Our store could be a bit different than most,as it is one of the ones to be closed.:(
I'm hoping they bring in a lot of Presidents Choice Blue Label Products. I'm not a fan of no name.
Good way to use up the personalized bonus point coupons for buy x in food or snacks get x Optimum points.

I wonder if the same guy makes it all in his factory and just changes the packaging:shrug:
No Name? You'd think they'd at least go with President's Choice (even though that's still not great). I agree, Shoppers is going to be ruined . It's already begun with the personalized offers going from "must go to Shoppers at all costs because these are insanely amazing" to "I won't even bother printing"
My store said they would have PC, PC Blue Menu and some No Name but many beauty lines will stay as PC don't have themQuote:

That sucks. I like the Simply Food frozen dinners.
What ever thei do thei have to bring their prices down and than, more people would shop there more often. I am 5 minutes away from SDM and I shop there only wen I really need too. Wen I do is usually a big enough haul and that is because the price was right............................................. ...............:-)
I notice they were trying to clear out Simply brand a couple months ago, as the burger (taste very good) were on for 2/$5, I bought 8, there were more than 60 boxes left, when I return next week, there were only 2 left. I check other SDM, they are not on clearance, they all expired sometime in july. Now none of the SDM in my area have the burger. I am waiting for the meatball and/or chicken wing to go on clearance.
Our local The Bargain Store recently replaced several of its grocery items with Loblaws' yellow No Name items. You wouldn't have thought The Bargain Store could look sadder than it already did.
that must have been why they were selling off some Simply cereals with manager's stickers at SDM that I visiting recently. thnx for the information.
The food manager pointed out the Blue Menu cereal as a new product in the store - and added they were more expensive than the SF cereals.
Re: those no-name chips -- I just tried a bag of the ones with ridges (like Ruffles) out of curiosity. The taste was ok - but they are definitely more greasy (and I had quite a few burnt chips in the bag) - reminds me of the SF ones which I'm not a a fan of. I ended up buying a bag of Ruffles the next day :)

Interesting you mention the greasy and burnt ones. I remember my mom guying these No Name ones when I was a kid. They'e turned me off generic chips for life. So greasy and salty and just generally too yucky for me. The only chips I eat are tortillas and Pringles. Rarely, I'll have some Miss Vickies or Terra Chips. But I just can't eat the typical fried chip in a bag
Glad to see nothing has changed *rolls eyes*
