Please note: this event has a different location and start time than usual!

This week, Brin is going to demonstrate advance grocery shopping techniques to KWR, just in time for the new tariffs to destroy Canadian CoL. We will aim to get at least a week of groceries for your household.

Prep

• Read Brin's "Guide to Advanced Grocery Shopping"
• [Optional]: Start your meta-list: a list of all of your staple foods, OTC medications, and so forth, all the grocery items you *tend* to buy. Consulting your meta-list reminds you of things you might be running low on that you should inventory, and of things that might be on sale that you should check.
  • Start by writing down all the ones you can think of: if you have old grocery lists lying around, use these for inspiration. Whenever you notice you've forgotten about an item, add it to the list. Eventually, you can build it up into something reasonably thorough.
• Create your grocery list, for 1-2 weeks' worth of groceries.
• Price match (flyers are released Wednesday) and coupon hunt for your grocery list.
• [Optional] at 8pm on Wednesday, come hang out in #english-practice (or #french-practice, if you want to do this in hard mode) for collective list making, price matching, and coupon hunting.
• PROCURE AND BRING A LOONIE for collateral if you are not bringing your own cart.

Day-of Iteniary

• [Optional] 6:30 pm: people who are interested can hit up Farm Boy (417 King St N, google maps link) across the street to do some pre-shop vibes and price comparisons.
• 7:00 pm: meet at the Tim Hortons (384 King St N, google maps link) for last minute questions etc.
• 7:15 pm: set out to No Frills Waterloo (24 Forwell Creek Rd, google maps link) to grocery shop!
• 9 pm or when people are done: disperse with groceries or leave them in a regular's car for a bit to hang out at the McDonalds and postmortem.
