My First Shop of Fresh Produce at Walmart Canada

February 25, 2014 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

I went back to Walmart and actually bought some produce from them! Reg did promise to take me back but it was my friend Emily who offered to drive me there and literally check the food out. I got a bag of stunningly fresh produce for $6.12. What did I get? I absolutely had to get a […]

PC Points Holiday Party at Superstore

November 27, 2013 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

On Monday night bloggers and media people were wined and dined with President’s Choice products as we learned all about the new PC Plus Program. Actually, no alcohol was involved but you know what I mean. I choose to have a delicious pomegranate cosmo during the festivities and got out my camera and notebook. The […]

New Year Mulligan

I love this foodie mural someone did in Sunnyside Mall in Bedford, Nova Scotia, so charming Our New Year’s did not start out super great. I have been in recovery mode since but on Monday, I hope to get back to my foodie routine and make life healthier and taste better. If I had a […]

I do not get it. All winter I wait for this time of year when awesome sales on produce begin and this year I still seem to be waiting. This little container of blueberries is still $3.99. Lemons are still 79 cents EACH and mangoes are well over $1 each at my Superstore. Am I […]

Total Comfort Peasant Food

February 26, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

All week I have been patiently resting, letting my back recover. Calmed down the spasm, let the knot just be, take lots of pain pills and rest, rest, rest. As a result, this week when it comes to food it has been very, well, interesting. I have been living on my Spicy Peanut Noodles, adding […]

Foodie Spy

September 18, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 4 Comments

Once again I can not help but spy and study other people’s food purchases. In the front you have my nine items in the front, basically frozen fruit, an ear of corn, baby spinach, extra lean ground beef, cranberry juice and some recycle bags. Down the conveyer belt you see a lady’s purchase of at […]

Gathering the evidence…

September 10, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

Why did I take this picture you ask? Well right above the blueberries was a sign for $3.49 and here below them was a sign for $2.99. I just knew I was going to get charged the higher price so…I took this picture. I am tired of telling the cashiers they charged me incorrectly. It […]

The price of good health

Just two years ago I could buy a big bag of lemons in the summer for $3. At the very least (or should I say most) I could get 2 lemons for 99 cents in the winter. Now it costs $1.59 for two lemons! And it’s SUMMER! My sister Shannon wearing my walking hat with […]

Grocery Lists: Do You Make Them?

July 11, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 13 Comments

And do they save you money? Personally, I have to always make a grocery list. My memory is just one big sieve so as soon as I run out of anything I write it down. Funny that this list comprised of mostly “other” stuff, not food. Some foodie I am! I have been reading a […]

It’s OK to just say no

July 2, 2009 by Suzie the Foodie 12 Comments

Yes, I am still trying to cut the fake food habit, back on Instant Breakfast! Many times now I have had to stop the cashier at the grocery store and say, um, that is too expensive. I don’t want it anymore. I used to feel really embarrassed doing this but now I feel like I […]
