[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 79 points 2 years ago (4 children) Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol. Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] StaticFlow@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Are there some good Canadian seed boxes? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago Not sure yet, I'm looking into it!

It's apparently German. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Dr. Oetkers You guys get Dr. Oetker over there?

All the heads of iceberg lettuce come from the US. What pisses me off is that under the romaine lettuce it says "Product of USA or Mexico". Which is it? I have no problem buying it if it's from Mexico (they're in the same situation as we are) but not getting it if it's from the US. I have noticed on some products the grocery story is putting a maple leaf beside the price when it's made in Canada, but it's not universal yet. permalink fedilink source parent
