From cake mix all the way to advil liquigels, then are almost always packaged by the same manufacturer. Why pay some other manufacturer to set up their production lines to make a generic version of something when the original company will do it for you and has their production line already set up to do everything except stamp their name on it.

I don’t need the passwords while I’m out and if it is really important it will will have to wait, if it is really really important then I will go home and get it, but in reality it is almost always never really that important.

We sold a townhouse in the lower mainland and bought a house on an acre+ in middle BC with some money left over.

Vancouver is ridiculous.

To your first point, I do this with the Costco gravy, add one salt and two pepper packets into the gravy makes it way better.

To your second point, many times the no name brand or store brand is actually packed by the same company with the same product but you aren’t paying for the brand name marketing so it is cheaper.

I have a hatchet for small tasks, a midsized axe for cutting small trees down and chopping, a Pulaski for landscaping/ digging tasks and I have a splitting axe/maul for splitting rounds.

EI is what you get when you get laid off in BC. I don’t know if they still call it that anymore.

I was working up in Whistler back in my twenties, at the end of the season, they lay everybody off except for a small crew of full-time employees. I went on to EI(employment insurance) for the summer pretended to look for jobs, and went on road trips with friends. Once summer finished, I found another job and I have unfortunately been employed ever since in various Warehouse jobs from order picker to warehouse manager.
