• PC Greek yogurt, strawberry $1.84 (original price: $3.79),
• PC Greek yogurt,  watermelon $1.64 (original price: $4.49).

August 7:

Rob’s No Frills (Warden/16th):

• Seeds and grains bread $2 (original price: $3.99),
• Blueberry bagel $0.99 (original price: $1.97),
• New York style garlic bread $1.14 (original price: $2.29).

August 11:

Enzo’s No Frills (Yonge/16th):

• Extra lean ground turkey $3 (original price: $6),
• Bone-in chicken thighs $5 (original price: $10).
  • Paid $8.45 for two items.

Rob’s No Frills (Warden/16th):

• Brioche gourmet buns $1.60 (original price: $3.19) x 2.
  • Paid $3.38 for two items.

Unfortunately, Rob’s No Frills has done it again:  Put their baked goods for Flashfood in a locked cabinet where moisture and mold can fester quickly.  I should have picked these up on the 10th but we didn’t get a chance to until the last day on the 11th (it’s just one day’s difference).  Both packages had buns with mold on it.  We could only salvage two buns out of the eight.  I sent my feedback to Flashfood about this and a recommendation for the store to keep their bread items on an open shelf instead to reduce mold from reoccurring on their products (not our first time seeing mold on bread from this location; my friend has the same experience).

Update:  They gave me a refund on both items.

August 13:

Loblaws Richmond Hill:

• Mixed Produce Box (4 boxes of 2lb strawberries) $3.  Paid $3.17.

• Mixed Produce Box (4 boxes of white whole mushrooms) $3.  Paid $3.17.
