Thanks again for he intel

some items I am looking to get now too

Peroxide $1.25 and calamine lotion 250ml/$2 from Dollarama...they have fresher stock than the pharmacies around here.
The peroxide is good well into 2016 but I cycle through regularly as I use it for cleaning gunked up pots and pans (peroxide and baking soda paste does an amazing job)
The calamine lotion is dated good till 2019! I like that it's small bottles so you're not opening a big bottle for use and then having it deteriorate and dry out while waiting to be used up.
ETA also...Dollarama has the Arm & Hammer sensitive teeth with a good expiry date on them for $2 for the small tube of gel toothpaste. This is a really good price so I bought a year's worth.

Went to TSC store and got 6 food buckets and three more Gamma lids (same price as Amazon.ca), two12oz tubs of Udderly Smooth cream and 50% off, chicken wire for 50% off, ladies winter thermal wool work socks and husband a pair of unilined Dickie's overalls.

Also got my son some camouflage thermal sweat pants ($14 regular price $48) but those are for Xmas

TSC has their flyer online if anyone is interested http://www.tscstores.com/

I never knew TSC had food buckets and gamma lids , what colour lids do they carry ?

I stocked up on some specialty salts and regular salt.

Bought pink himalayan salt, and Fleur de Sel ,I put the himalayan and fleur de sel in mason jars
for storage and will use smaller containers in kitchen for using. I ordered on line from Silk Road Spice Merchant
and received the order fast via ups. Also bought a few herbs and spices from them. Big difference
in quality from the stuff at bulk barn.

Bought regular salt at grocery store along with tinned meats.

Stocked up on smaller plastic bags from the restauarant store and also straws.

Xs cargo has 7 inch folding saws on for 4.99 great for camping

One full side of clothing grade tanned cow leather and four tanned deer hides

A dozen food grade 6 gallon buckets and gamma lids from Costco online.
They have a package price for a dozen of each.

NOTE: I did not require any membership to buy online.

It arrived in x 2 tall boxes via UPS.

Goldie...they're white buckets for animal feed storage...I'm assuming food grade because they're the right plastic # and type of plastic but I've got mylar bags coming to use in them just to be on the safe side (got those through amazon.ca for a very decent price and free shipping).
TSC only has the white Gamma lids.

When I ordered buckets and gamma lids from Costco online, I was assured that the buckets were indeed food grade.

1000 rds of .223 ammo, 2800 rds of SKS ammo, 200rds of .40 S&W. Picked up a $3000 pair of PVS 7 night vision goggles for $100. Few more MRE's. 4 bottles of assorted fish antibiotics. More supplies for the med kit. Been an expensive week!

Went to the Toronto LDS today picked up.

Husband went to Canadian Tire today and brought home a Fiskars Bush Axe machete $23.99 on sale ($6 off) and a box of Tattler lids/rings to try.

Picked up a couple cans of mountin house stew and pasta. Couple more mountin house selves for my GHB. At the new cabelas in barrie. Got a new Crkt 3 finger neck knife for my edc and so far I love it but the ornge para cord. Olive drab will going on it shortly.

New fileting knife (Canadian Tire, Rapala one on sale) and used it to make short work of the chicken... 1 hr 45 min to get through 28 lbs of chicken breast...have enough skin and fat saved to make schmalz (rendered chicken fat for cooking ) and froze enough bones to make a big batch of chicken stock to can up next week.
