Nah, enjoy the time while you are in it. Wait until you are about to turn 60, fit and healthy by all indicators, and you still think your body is like 30... but it's not.
I've got a list over at https://manufacturedin.ca/products/books There's a few of the search results mixed in there that may be relevant but most are.
For a few years we collected points, simply a goal to see if we could reach 1 mil and then cash in for groceries at the local Real Atlantic Superstore. Reached the goal and then some, got to about 1.5 mill and then started using all the points for all grocery purchases in store. Once the points were depleted, the account would no longer tally points on purchases where points were offered. Tried the same methods of watching the sales, etc, and would buy the things on sale as needed. No points collected on purchase. Gave up trying, and now shop wherever is convenient. I was at the local store last week for a few things and the cashier said that now a person has to open the app and accept the offers, then buy the product during that sale period in order to collect the points. Yeah, no, not gonna do that anymore.
Besides, holding on to points while grocery prices continue upward only devalues the points at a future redemption date. Might as well cash them in as you go.
Pinyon Products coffee filters.
Also, GK Connoisseur, made in Vaughn, ON, available through your local Home Hardware.
and have a look at Sun-Brite who make Unico, Primo and several US brands and for dry soups, there's several more listed at search result for soup at ManufacturedIn.CA
"Credit card payment systems." Interac (if you have the cash to spend at the time) "A marketplace like Amazon or Temu." Mavenfair.ca is a recent start-up in BC with a wholly Canadian product line FBM (fulfilled by merchant).
I'm in NS and I discovered a couple places in ON and westward that makes peanut butter. My plan, to purchase a case of 10 or 12 jars. Which I can no doubt consume myself in a year but will consider trading with neighbours for eggs or produce during summer time.
I did not know that. No refill stations around here. It's a 70km round trip just to the grocery store, only go bi-weekly. The jugs of Down East should do us about 6 months.
Technically speaking, there's no such thing as free shipping. It's built into the price, and for low dollar value items, the ship cost is spread out over other products in a merchant's business model. Whether its FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) or FBM (fulfilled by merchant), the merchant is the one paying the shipping, not Amazon. You can be sure though that Amazon is getting a smokin' hot deal from CanadaPost for that volume business. Just my guess, but CanPost is offsetting the lower profit margins for shipping Amazon's packages by charging more for smaller volume Canadian merchants who ship direct to the consumer.
Jasmine is what we picked up. Do you just follow directions on the bag for cooking? For stovetop cooking: 1 cup rice, 2 cup water, bring water to boil, add rice and simmer 15 min, then let rest for 5 min. Fluff and serve.
