Wednesdays are special at our house: we've reached the mid-week hump, I have the evening off at yoga class, there's French class at preschool. But most importantly, on Wednesdays the mid-week bundle of flyers arrives on our doorstep. And in that bundle is the Canadian Tire flyer.

S is obsessed with Canadian Tire.

He insists on us reading the whole flyer to him. Not only do we have to tell him what an item is, we have to read the blurb under it. I now know more about nail drivers, routers and reciprocating saws than I need.

I can see the attraction. S loves anything to do with tools, building, machinery and cars. Canadian Tire covers it all. He's not all that interested in the housewares pages but he's beginning to show some interest in the sporting goods ones (Roland's been talking about skating and hockey).

Looking for a deal on a power inverter or a new set of winter tires? Let us know and we'll keep on eye on the flyer for you.
