A boycott targeting Loblaw-owned stores is gaining momentum online, with thousands of shoppers taking their money elsewhere for the month of May.
It's the latest sign of Canadians' mounting frustration with the major grocers, which have been under political and public scrutiny for rising food prices and profits.
As Taylor Metcalfe is picking up fabric for her wedding dress, next to the Loblaws on Merivale Road, she says she won’t be shopping at the grocery store anytime soon.
"I'm definitely not going to be coming back here to shop and I'm going to save my money and spend it where it needs to be spent," Metcalfe said.
She’s aware of an online boycott of the grocery giant, planned for May.
"There's not much that we can do. So we've got to start somewhere," she said.
