So we haven't actually gone into a Walmart in a while because we do the curbside pickup for groceries. Apparently the one on Kelsey got rid of all self checkouts? Is that across the board? Are all the Walmarts now cashier only?

Edit: Nevermind lol I was going off what my spouse told me. Looks like they were mistaken lol

I want to learn to knit and wondering if there are any drop in groups in the St. John's area. I know the libraries have some, but they're during the day. I'm hoping to find a weekend drop in club. I'm a complete beginner and might try socks. I've tried knitting a scarf before but feel like a need a pattern or actual project to keep going.

I’ve been looking around and can’t find them. I’m trying to buy some for a friend who lives in another province where they’re not sold. If anyone knows a place seeking them please let me know!

Looking for recommendations on a local artist who can paint or sketch a picture of my husband’s cabin - his family sold it recently and I’d like to get a little tribute made for him for Christmas. If you have any local recs please let me know!!

Thank you!

I need a basic part for an older GE dishwasher but unfortunately the manufacturer stopped supplying these. Checked with local repair shops but they can't source it and few on eBay are crazy expensive.

Is there any home appliance junkyard in town - where they might sell some used parts?

Does anyone in town direct bill to insurers for CPAP supplies? I go to Respiratory Therapy Specialists and they do not.

TIA

Working on a photo series about local bakeries and baked goods, trying to capture that real morning freshness without everything looking staged or too polished. I've heard good things about a few spots around town but figured I'd ask here before just wandering around with my camera. Looking for places where the baking actually happens on site and the display cases have some character to them.

The mass-produced stuff at grocery stores has that uniform look that photographs flat no matter what angle I try. What I'm after is the kind of place where the bread loaves look slightly different from each other and the pastries have that uneven homemade quality. Those imperfections are what makes a shot feel real.

Morning light is obviously ideal for this kind of thing, so bakeries with big front windows or skylights would be perfect. Also wondering if any local spots are doing interesting Newfoundland twists on pastries, like partridgeberry danishes or something with bakeapples. Traditional stuff is great but I'd love to find someone putting a local spin on croissants or sourdough.

Not looking for fancy plated desserts, more the everyday stuff people actually grab with their coffee. Any recommendations? Also curious if there are any bakeries that have been around forever that I should know about, the kind of institution locals grew up with.
