Loblaws is out of control

A sub devoted to highlighting the ridiculous cost of living in Canada right now. We’d like to thank our corporate overlord Galen Weston Jr. of Loblaws for continually raising grocery prices so he can get a big fat bonus cheque every year while the rest of Canadians struggle to make ends meet.

Nah. Someone, at some point, decided it would look nicer to the consumer like that. FFS, people buy pre-chopped vegetables now days.

Also, I'm pretty sure those would root and grow in a glass of water anyway. Been growing my own for years, I'll give it a try.

Side question : do you trim your green onions before they flower?

I mean, the leaf is a bit thicker, but it tastes the same.
