I'm in Ontario.
One of our main grocery chains is named Loblaws. I subscribe to their points reward program, so they have my email.
I recently received an email about a survey offer for a a chance to win a $500 gift card. This would immediately trigger my thinking this is a scam. However, the sender e-mail was [email protected] . Not some weird email address.
It was a 10 question survey is linked to a website called timevider.live .
I'm not proceeding. But I do find it very strange that an intra-company email is somehow sending these emails.
Can I ask you folks why anyone still shops at Loblaws for produce or meats/proteins?
I’m a self-rated, 5 star, ninja level grocery shopper, and decided years ago that Loblaws was premium price for sub-par product. I find their veggies and other produce are wilted, shrivelled or not ‘Grade A’ compared with the competition.
This holds true with my experience routinely throughout Toronto west, Etobicoke, Vaughan and York region.
Ironically, No Frills has cheaper prices and better quality/fresher produce (maybe because they are franchises); Metro has better prices and better butcher service for chicken, pork and lamb, and weekly specials on other items. Longos and Farmboy is similar prices to Loblaws but WAY better quality produce and proteins. Sobeys is expensive/similar to Lob but better quality produce (fresher). Any independent grocer beats them as well. Any Asian superstore beats them on fresh fish prices and selection. For organics/premium, Healthy Planet has them beat on selection and even on prices.
Other than their PC products, I don’t get it.
