Including tires, I guess, if your tastes run that way.
Just started the 2nd week on IP, and it's getting easier. I tried the kale chips day before yesterday, and immediately went out and bought 4 for packets of kale. They were kind of weird, but I sure liked them. And the jicama with splenda and cinnamon is really tasty, too.
I'm finding this such a good resource!

Thanks for the little giggle while reading your comments BushyTailed. The Canadian Tire store isn't really very aptly named these days.
Radials aren't on my Christmas gift list this year.
As Patns explained Canadian Tire sells a wide array of household stuff. Today I picked up a couple of stocking stuffer items, as well as a food processor and Lagostina non-stick frying pan for myself. At this week's sale prices I couldn't resist indulging myself. I grew up in a farming community and there were certainly quite a few guys (not all necessarily 'big') wearing John Deere caps
.... but not where I'll be giving and receiving presents this Christmas morning.
