    Partner and I go out of our way to avoid Driscoll’s. We used to eat a lot more of their stuff but stopped a few years ago. Very thankful that in the past few months, our local groceries seem to be pulling in other brands and sources. We buy and support every chance we can to send a message. Genuinely, just last week we passed Strawberries that were 75% off and left them on the shelf.

      Thank you! This was very positive to hear. I tend to just go for frozen strawberries unless they are in season.

        Yeah we get some frozen but have to be careful there still. At least we try to make sure it’s a Canadian brand/packaged in Canada. The strawberries are probably still grown in the USA, but if we can at least support Canadian workers in some way, better than nothing.

          Sometime products will rotate. You might like cherries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries in the frozen section of Empire or Loblaws.

          For Costco, there is only frozen blueberries for frozen fruit from what I remember.
