“Bread” is apparently¹ common slang for “money”, although it’s a word you won’t hear me use in that context.² Anyway, in case you missed the news, Loblaws and Weston conspired to fix bread prices, were caught, and now Canadian adults who bought bread between 2001 and 2021 are eligible for up to $25 in free money. I figure that’s about one loaf of bread for every 2.5 years³ the conspiracy lasted.

The claim is easy to submit; the hourly rate if you get the full amount is rather decent. (And I would suggest you set up autodeposit for e-Transfers if you haven’t already done so).
