Notice that this year, McDs has an Oat Milk option for iced coffees now. And they don't even charge you an extra dollar for it!

I imagine that would be a hard upsell when coffee is $1 right now lol. If anything, I'd expect a jump in price once September rolls around.

FWIW it might've happened already - my large iced went from $2.79 to $2.99 right before the $1 promo started.

Just ordered Chicken Nuggets from Burger King at Metrotown. $2 for 8 pieces. Not bad. For what it is. Only today with app. Part of their bonus deals. One deal per day this week.

all these stories are inspiring me to come up with the most ridiculous story possible to get them to back off gettin' those creative juices flowing.

I read something about if you have diabetes, you have to be very careful with oat milk because it's carbs and it converts to sugars

I got a notification for another 2 days of 10c/L discount at Chevron on May 28-29th. Check your Journie app.

I hate that name.

$2 for 2 pieces of fried chicken, and $2 potato wedges at Safeway on Tuesdays.



This is not my picture, but we are looking at $4's worth of food here.

I've been having the chicken for the past few Tuesdays as $2 for a drumstick + thigh is really a loss leader for Safeway.

The chicken itself is no better or worse than KFC / Church's, but even KFC Tuesdays are like $4 now, where the pieces are slightly smaller than what Safeway gives you, and you get at most <1/3 of the fries compared to what you get from Safeway.

i did a solo trip over last week.
took the 6am over and the 10pm back the next day. (ferry saver, car and driver $49 each way)
skipped breakfast and lunch, filled up on free coffee until dinner and had some budget AYCE sushi by myself like a fat fuck

i always knew it was richmond sushi but i guess they renamed it richmond ninkazu now.
i give it a 7 out of 10, not sure if it was worth the $44 but i would go again.

That got me curious and I looked in gmaps and lots complain about the AYCE lunch being super slow for service. Like over 30 minutes for the first round

That's always been the strategy from AYCE owners lol. Delay, delay, delay and suddenly your table is at it's time limit.

"I'll go check on your order"
*order arrives with half of it missing*
"Last call didn't arrive? Oh no, that's a shame, let me check"

Better pay your bill and gtfo so they can repeat this again for the next table.

Friends who tried the Aberdeen AYCE also experienced worse-than-usual order delays (even for AYCE standards).

I joined them a second time with a reservation right at opening hour and service was fine - the restaurant is likely too understaffed for the volume of orders, than intentionally slowing orders down. Quality is pretty solid for their asking price.
