You are just noticing?
Does this include HST?
Basic groceries aren't subject to GST (not sure about provincial sales tax since Alberta doesn't have one). But restaurant meals are taxed. So if I were to buy 250 mL of milk (that's a single serving, for the non-metric folks here) at Walmart, there's no tax. If I bought a glass of milk at a restaurant, it would be taxed.
Well, that site just gave me information regarding Save-on stores in Red Deer. It thinks I live on the East Hill, but that's still creepy.
Do they have online ordering for perishables? Or is that just an "order for future pickup" thing? I have to laugh at Walmart sending me an advertisement that they now offer "free pickup" of groceries. I guess the idea is that you order it online, someone picks the order, and you come and get it.
I do most of my groceries by phone order. There's a delivery charge, but actually talking to the staff there means I can ask questions, and if there's something I want a lot of, there's the opportunity to talk to one of the managers and negotiate a discount for a bulk order. So I haven't had to pay full price for a couple of items in years, since I always buy case lots.

Save-On-Foods does actual online ordering for everything, yeah. Even their bakery/deli/kitchen. The delivery fee is a bit expensive and they have order minimums but it's far cheaper than getting an actual courier to do it.
That product page thought I lived in Winnipeg.
But the base price seems to be the same regardless of location (when I log in to my store, the price is also $7.50).
No clue about HST; I just quickly looked at their online order screen menu. Probably not included.

TIL about "red rooms". I already knew the deep web offers illicit drugs, child pornography, and even kill orders. I wasn't aware of suffering on demand being a service it offered.
You wouldn't believe it, but Rebecca Black's ‘Friday’ video still keeps getting views on YouTube.

It's what the Red Rooms play, that and Justin Beiber's "Baby"
The delivery fee I'm charged is $10. It would be cheaper if I lived closer to the store. I have no idea if this is something all the stores offer; likely not. It's usually either the manager or the assistant manager who do the deliveries, which makes it really handy if I catch a mistake quick enough, or if I have a question about a case lot order. And this last time there was a good sale on cat litter... so I ordered 9 boxes (cleaned the store out). That's 9 boxes that are 12.7 kg each. The manager didn't mind stacking some of them for me in a small corner next to the cat pantry (yeah, I've got a whole pantry just for cat stuff - litter box supplies, cleaning supplies, grooming stuff,and there's even room for the times when I'm insane enough to buy an 8 kg sack of cat food that I can hardly lift). I won't need to buy cat litter for another year, unless I finally adopt another cat that has a lot to say for itself, litter box-wise.Save-On-Foods does actual online ordering for everything, yeah.

There's no minimum or maximum order. Sometimes people have one or two things they really need and no time to pick them up, so they'll phone it in. In my case, some orders are huge as I believe in stocking up on essentials when there's a really good sale. So there are some things I won't need to buy again until fall, or even winter. As for where it all gets put... some stuff makes a good temporary table or shelf, so it's not just sitting around taking up room. It'll get used eventually.
The delivery would be cheaper if I went through the seniors' centre, but I'd be limited to a maximum of 2 bags. There's not much you can fit into 2 bags anymore, so I don't mind paying the extra $5 and having no limits. Of course if I still lived in the same neighborhood as that store, I could just do the shopping myself. The manager didn't mind my borrowing the carts, since I always brought them back, along with any others I ran across along the route between the apartment and store.
I was confused as well yesterday, and looked it up:
I knew from a food snob how culinary important for beef the direction of the cut was with respect to the orientation of the musle cells, before the pan-fry or on your plate. IIRC before the pan-fry cut so that you have most surface with the grain to contain juices in the meat, and on your plate cut against the grain, cutting through the musle fibres, for more tender chewing.
according to this article it has to do with where you cut the bacon, resulting in different amounts of fat and how it is distributed,
but that leaves that remark of Tim about that 90 degree cut angle difference not adressed

The term "Canadian bacon" is an American term that isn't used in Canada. We all it "peameal bacon" here.

To make it more confusing, thickly cut bacon in Britain is known as gammon steak.
Gammon seems to be in the news a lot, in the UK currently ^_^
