Lastly, a huge shoutout to my husband for letting me repost this on his account after I got my main account banned for too many replies the first time I posted the original.
I’m little suprised that Reddit banned the oop for that reason, what is going on over there? Dont they want more activity on their platform?
I’m going to write to my grocers to request that they carry akisfinefoods.

Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Let's stop playing around and talk about ditching something big: Visa and Mastercard
0·11 months agoIt’s not all or nothing as you have options folks:
-
If you still want to use credit cards to increase your credit rating and to receive the cashback you can just Interac/cash/direct deposit for small businesses and charities then use the credit cards for the big guys.
-
You can also just boycott Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover for the duration of the trade war or the Trump presidency.
Sometimes incremental change is the way to go.
