Posting as I know a lot of people are in a budget lately. Shoppers in Georgian mall always has discounted areas as their stock doesn’t move fast. Also two great apps to use are TooGoodToGo and Flashfood Source

FYI, according to City of Barrie app, if you have Friday recycle pickup its still recycle day even though Monday was a holiday! Source

The Source is officially closed down in the mall. It is being turned into a “Best Buy Express” Source

Not a concern.. I found this bike late this afternoon and have it in my possession if it is anyone’s? I live by the busby centre and watched a group of guys leave it in front of my house… I left it to see if they would come back but never did. I then watched another person walk up to it and try to take it. I asked if it was his and he said no so I told him it was theft and took it to my porch so no one else can steal it. I hate to be that person to say it, but it seems like it was stolen in the first place by the other individuals who then realized both tires are flat and dumped it. I thought I would post here to return to the rightful owner. I already knocked on my neighbours doors to see if it was any of theirs, but no luck. Unfortunately many bikes are stolen daily so I know the owner is out there somewhere. If it is yours please comment and I will dm you for pickup. Thanks! Source

I was planning to take transit to Toronto tomorrow.... I used to take an express bus from the Barrie Bus Station to Yorkdale that took about an hour, but I can't find it anymore. Everything I've tried has me travelling for appx. 3 hours with 2 or 3 transfers. Is there really no Express Buss anymore? And the Go Trains take 2 hours Union? That's crazy. How do people survive living in Barrie without a car? Source
