congrats Mule Skinner

Picked up one of those 10k btu kerosene heaters from Cdn Tire to be used in the basement to keep pipes from freezing if we ever have an experience like those out east seem to get every year. It will also be useful during the winter to heat the garage a bit when I want to tinker out there. Preps that expensive have to serve multiple functions! 😀

Got out to the range this week as well and sighted in some new sights.

Liquidation world in Ingersoll is going out of business. Picked up lots of bagged dry cereal, and a heavy-duty large plastic tote bin.

Also just inherited a nice old crokinole board. Who's coming over for a game? LOL.

24 cans of Aroy-D coconut milk at Wholesale Club for 98 cents a can...this is high quality stuff that goes for between $1.68-$1.99 a can.
24 1.5 Liter bottles of water at NoFrills for 25 cents a bottle.

Toilette paper...5 months worth through various sales this past week.

12 pack of rolls of brown commercial "kitchen roll/towel" for $11.99 and these rolls last a lot longer than regular paper towel and it tears off really easy for customized size depending on what you're using it for. It works really well for draining fried foods on, the food doesn't stick to it.

pry bar and staple gun, and got some small denomination bills for cash stash.

Local NoFrills grocery store was running a $1 sale, so I stocked up on ready-to-eat soups, pasta, coconut milk, canned ham flakes, etc etc etc.
