We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

The unit price always tells the truth.
Yeah, but sometimes similar items display different units, so the truth is hard to discern if you can't do unit conversions in your head.
Marketing like this doesn't work on us 6'4 boys
Yep. Don't see the middle shelves, can't reach the bottom shelves.
You need to learn how to squat like you’re in Bulgaria with an Adidas track suite on bro. The bottom shelves can be yours.
You need to find a kid (or a dwarf) to help get the stuff on the bottom shelf. They always ask us for help on the top, it's time for them to repay the favor.
My wife is 5'1". So, mission accomplished.
I think it would be very fair to ask that product reformulations and size changes should be called out, directly on the packaging, for a few months afterwards.
Absolutely.
I've been going to Giant Tiger and Dollarama for non- perishables and pantry staples.
Really good tip! But I gotta add... Keep an eye on packaging sizes, especially at Dollarama. Sometimes it'll end up costing you more in the long run. Also keep an eye on the unit price on labels in grocery stores. It'll tell you what's actually cheaper right on the shelf
Hence the term "Top shelf".
Nope. “Top Shelf” came from liquor at a bar. The most expensive stuff is put up there so it is a focal point of what the bar has and can be seen wherever you’re at in the bar. It’s also up there because it’s rarely used given its price.
So interestingly, “top shelf” in grocery terms is the exact opposite.
I'm pretty sure that comes from top shelf liquors in bars.
