Winter Bedding Ideas

by Tazim Damji

plaid comforter

Do you change out your bedding every season, or just add/subtract layers? I have a reversible quilt that is fall themed on one side and spring/summer on the other.

by Tazim Damji

Winter is coming, and so is the holiday season. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to fantasize about sitting by the fire and curling up with a good book, or having a few close friends over to enjoy a relaxing meal and conversation.

Winterizing Your Car For Newbies, Thanks To Canadian Tire Gas Plus

by Tazim Damji

  I recently had a chance to check out my local Canadian Tire Gas Plus location to fill up on gas, and to check out some products for the upcoming winter season. The gas at this Gas Plus station was several cents cheaper than other gas stations in the area: I like that you get Canadian Tire money when you fill up gas. I learned that you can also save up to 10 cents per litre if you have a Gas Advantage Mastercard. This, coupled with the cheaper prices to begin with will make me want to ...
