A guy actually gave me a tank because he was fed up of waiting for the Mac's guy to come out, and when he did, he didn't give the guy his deposit back (he didn't need the tank anymore because he was moving out of province and couldn't put it on the truck). So he straight up gave it to me and wouldn't accept anything in return - it was half full too.

Buy your own tank, or even better two of them, and get them filled up at Costco. It is $9 a fill there, which I believe is about half that of Co-op. You just go in, pay for the fill at the tire desk, and they'll meet you back at the propane tank and fill it. But even at the Co-op price it is still usually cheaper and quicker than waiting outside of Mac's.

Just my recent experience anyway.
So I bought a full tank from Canadian tire today. Does that mean I can bring it to Costco to get filled when it runs out?
