Went to Canadian Tire and picked up the last of their discontinued solar panels. They are great for experimenting with. Most of them are small enough to be somewhat portable.

ICRCC I didn't realize that CT was discontinuing their solar panels -is that Ontario wide?

been using my solar panels for a trickle change on my battery power pack. Thee solar panels are in my basement window and I get a charge on most days even without direct sunlight.

They are discontinuing the Blue Planet equipment which is the CT name for Sunforce products. That's what they tell me in the local store.

Last week I picked up
2 15 watt panels $62ea
2 5 watt panels $25
3 2 watt panels $ 9

I tried to get a charge controller but they said they have been discontinued, so may be they are discontinuing thier solar products

I also have some rain checks for some knives that were supposed to be in after xmas, but now they have no date in computer when they will arrive, but girl said keep the rain check, just in case they do come in

That would not be a Gerber folding knife would it?

That would explain why they have been on sale so often lately...
I wanted to pick up one of the 15 watt panels last week, but decided to wait for something bigger to go on sale.
Hope I didn't bugger myself!

All the remaining supply of Blue Planet panels is on sale this week. Check CT on line. They should still have some lest in most of the largers stores. They will remain on sale intill all the stock is gone I think.

Before you by from CT compare thier sale price withthe same product from Home Depot and Lowes at regular price. Not much difference.

Dehydrated celery and celery leaves yesterday...the celery wasn't a fantastic buy but...it had LOADS of leaves and was very, very fresh. So I have a small jar of leaves and a small jar of celery pieces.
Food Basics had mushrooms on 8oz for 88cents...so we got a flat of 12 and those sliced with my egg slicer and "checked" them in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds with a couple tablespoons of water, it sort of blanches them and they rehydrate better later done this way.
