Default Where has the best selection of small appliances

If all goes well we will have a rental sorted out shortly. We didn't pack any small appliances from the UK, but having been some superstores like Real Canadian and Futureshop there is a limited choice of kettles, toasters etc. Alternatively we could take a trip across the border to US from Vancouver as part of a break and buy some there. Any recommendations?

39 Kettles, 64 toasters or toaster ovens.

This is all online but they likely have a half decent selection in store.

Wait until the appliance you require is on offer in the flyers too. If it's not on offer now it will be soon.

Thanks for the helpful responses, I initially thought that most Canadians went across the border because it was that much easier, but the general opinion shows stick with Canadian Stores.

People don't generally drive to the US to buy $20 appliances like kettles.

Currently London Drugs have a fair range of small appliances at a very good price. A London drugs flyer came through the door.

Good luck.

ps - op - once you get here you will realise its not that easy just to pop across the border - line ups, customs etc- -it's not like going to France for the day on the ferry - plus this side is nicer

It's a 5 hour drive for us to get to the border and then another hour or so until we reach a shop
