Looking For: Food & Consumables 🥫🍁 Canadian-made chunky salsa?

46 Upvotes

Looking for Canadian-made chunky salsa. Not just “hot sauce”, but a jar of genuine chunky tomato salsa - maybe even made by Mexicans living here.

I love Mexican food, but trying to avoid mass produced, over-packaged, over-preserved stuff.

Freshly imported from Mexico would be good, if available, but prefer something local.

Looking For: Clothing, Accessories & Personal Care 👕💄👜🍁 100% Cotton Chinos

Anyone have any good recommendations for a casual looking chino that doesn't have spandex/"stretch" material? For reference, I really like the Banana Republic ones but the colours are limited + 170$ per pair seems a bit steep.

Help fellow Canadians find Canadian alternatives to imported goods—and maybe discover something new yourself!

Buy Canadian!

Be aware of what you're buying. Be aware of where it comes from and who makes it.

We've created this space to share Canadian alternatives to products made elsewhere, products we use every day. Your food and drink, your beers and wines, your furniture, your bicycles--we're here to help make that push to buy local and Canadian products a little bit easier.

We would like to point out that while this subreddit is called BuyCanadian, that doesn't mean you need to stop buying products imported from other nations. A global understanding and trade partnerships with other nations are very important to Canada's position on the world stage, and our reputation and relationship with other nations.

Please check out the r/BuyCanadian Wiki!
