Zellers is the discount counterpart.

Has it changed?

Yes, they do, and it sure comes in handy sometimes.

Hmmm, when were you in Quebec? Zellers has been around quite awhile, and then there was Woolco, Eatons, The Bay, Woodwards, Sears, KMart. Only the Bay and Zellers and pretty much around these days, well and Wal-Mart.

So CT was the closest thing I could think of. But that was a long time ago.

Do they still give out those cool coupons?

Canadian Tire specialises in automotive, household stuff, mainly. Sporting goods, etc. No clothes or shoes or groceries there.

When I was there, they were the closest thing to Wal-Mart.
