Very low friction shoe strap-on. So when you can throw stones easily drifting down the ice.

How very insensitive. Most people probably prefer to not slip on ice.

I'm tempted to go to CT and ask for a low-friction strap-on. I might get thrown out, though.

Originally - lawn mower, table & chairs for deck, big bookcases, DVD player, vacuum cleaner, rugs, toaster oven, heater, painting stuff...

More recently kitchen tap - anyone want to come and connect it?

Canadian Tire, went in a couple of times, never actually made a successful purchase. Customer service experiences I when I did try, were horrible and their pricing not that great either. Returning anything is a nightmare.

Depending where you live then sometimes you have too much choice in where to get certain DIY products

Using light bulbs as an example.
I have Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Rona, Walmart, McMunn & Yates, soon to be a Lowes, specialist lighting stores and probably depending on the type of light bulb most of the major grocery stores.

So what to do and where to buy?
Lets scroll through the online flyers and look for deals or a coupon or simply say Im going to the nearest and if I pay a couple of dollars more then sod it as it I don't fancy driving an extra 10kms to get to the place that has the cheapest and then only to find I walked out of that store with a shit load more than light bulbs.
