Lol! I bought LOTS of stuff with Canadian Tire money.

They used to give you these Coupons that would give you 'X-times' Canadian Tire money, but I never bought anything at Crappy Tire.

However...the Macleod CT had a Gas Station and I'd fill up there all the time to and from work.

Eventually I had a gigantic wad of CT money and I bought the new rear-gears for my Mustang with it!

I think it was $350 bucks or something and I special-ordered the gears myself and when they got in I just slapped a stack of CT money down and essentially didn't have to pay for them.

It was glorious...for me, not so much for the poor cashier girl who had to count the stacks and file the paperwork.

The Managers were NOT happy campers, but hey, I legitimately collected the CT money from filling up with gas. Nothing un-toward.
