If I get super brave I’ll learn to hunt. So, I guess cost of a gun, a license, and butchering. But first I have to learn to fish.

Not the point, and not (very) Canadian, but you know, you could have saved at least another 30% off of Save-On’s prices by shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart (which is a Canadian retailer). Eg. I just bought Alcan foil for 89 cents, Royale tissue for $5.99, Herbal Essences for $2.39 and Colgate for 99 cents.

Majestic and royal both Canadian should be available out west, you’ll have to check. Hertel all purpose cleaner is Canadian made (check labels cause some r US made) like I’ve said in a previous post, I’ve been buying made in Canada or US for the past 10+ years. It takes a while to get use to but before you know it, buying Canaidian will become second nature.
Keep up the great work and let us know what you find. I’m always interested in finding new products.

Be sure to check the label. They manufacture some in Canada and some in the US!

Good luck with the project. I try to buy stuff made here (oz) wherever possible. But I always avoid China at the grocery store. Where are those non Canadian products made.

I’ve been using the reasonably priced Buffalo Recycled Laundry Soap which is made from leftover used hotel soaps. It is manufactured in Victoria. You can buy it at some speciality shops and also Thrifty Foods (which delivers!) in Port Moody. His website was down for a long time, and then it seems that someone from Buffalo who recycles metal has picked up the domain. That said, its pretty good laundry soap. The contact is Roger Sevigny and I found a phone number of 250-598-0309

There is a brand of Cosmetics and products for taking care of Skin called FACES Cosmetics. It is all-natural and even though it’s more expensive it tends to last longer and is of a greater quality.

I was just about to suggest Irving products. I am not positive everything is sourced in Canada but Royal is a Canadian brand at the very least. I don’t know if Majesta is sold out west. I didn’t see it until I moved to Halifax.
