Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

I was already bracing myself to be careful at the grocery store a while back cause I'd been following the story of the US rolling back food and product regulations. It can't be fun to be doing any Kitchen/ Restaurant work right now. Last time I out I managed to find all Canadian stuff. Lettuce was the hardest, self contained was all from California. I did find a Canadian made salad kit I stripped for parts, I wish the quality was better but it was okay. I'm not a real power user of lettuce anyway. It's just going to take a bit of adapting.

I also typically buy used name brand clothing and plan to keep going with that and with entertainment I usually use the free services, used stores and thrifts and a bit of yarr matey on the side.

What brand?

I thought looking at the list online would be annoying until I realized you can just look at the food labels. So it’s easy. Had to buy cabbage instead of lettuce last time I was at the store. That’s about it.

What were you doing with it? Cabbage is great but it's not exactly the same as lettuce.

Yeah it's going well. I already knew in November that Trump was going to fuck up the economy one way or another, so I bought a handful of bigger ticket stuff from the states at that time for Black Friday.

The main food staple I've had to change so far is baby carrots, I usually get the California organic ones in bulk at Costco. I just have to make a separate trip to my smaller local grocer for substitutes.

then you have more influence for change than the rest of us, friend. Buying Canadian products also means lobbying small businesses to purchase supplies from Canada. and if you happen across someone who doesn't understand what's going on, let them know. Hopefully they'll tell 2 friends, and so on.

Your in a prime position to sabotage then!

I work at a Walmart. I can fart on stuff

Didn't buy anything american this week, at all, but I'm due to go grocery shopping.

I'm making a pot pie from some leftover beef and bacon fat that I turned into roux, I've got some potatoes that are getting old, some carrots, mushrooms... it should be tasty
