As someone from a different continent, I feel there's a story here that we're missing out on.
EDIT: Oh, price fixing. I didn't expect that.

I feel like there was a different settlement for something very very similar in the not too distant past. I distinctly remember getting a prepaid credit card for like $50 or something as the settlement. I am pretty sure it was Loblaws too, but maybe it was Sobeys. Am I dreaming or does anyone else remember this?
How on earth am I supposed to know the bread I bought 5+ years ago?
Did you buy bread products in the twenty year period from Loblaws? That should be easier to answer. It's not like they're asking for you to have kept paperwork.
If you bought groceries from any of their stores there's a good chance you did.

Have you purchased bread from the chain? Maybe (no the answer is yes).
It asks specifically what bread I bought, and I don't remember.
I simply said I do not remember, after the boycott started I started making bread.
It asks for the most recent bread purchase. Technically, it doesnt even have to be from the Loblaws family, although I don't know if putting anything else would disqualify you. It also doesn't say prior to 2022, so what you bought in the last week would also be correct. That makes it easier to answer, I suppose.
have you bought bread within the past 20 years? yes? at some point in those past 20 years did you buy bread from one of the many owned Loblaw chains? probably, so you're eligible.
Pretty much every Canadian did. So the payout from $500mil across like 20 years worth of Canadians...I imagine it's going to be less than the $25 gift card they gave previously. but meh, free money is free money.
You just go through your receipt archive and pick through 20 years of receipts.
I feel like it is asking for a lot of personal information just to claim this. Not feeling that it is worth it
If it means Galen Weston Jr loses a tiny bit of money, it's worth it IMO. I'd be petty enough to spend $50 if it means Loblaws had to send me $25.
But for real, it's a class action lawsuit claim for compensation so I'm not really surprised it asks for identifying information
I personally have a domain name so I created an email address bread@reannlegge.ca. It is a sad attempt to mock the boat.
