Right now that depends where you go.. North of downtown it's running about
61.9/litre (and I'm certain I saw one higher but can't remember by how much),
but not far from my home it's at 58.9/litre - not bad considering where it was
a month ago. But I digress...

James and I did some dashing about on Boxing Day, but to no avail. TRU made a
weak attempt with some small signs claiming sales that either didn't register
on their automated price checkers or were for stuff that wasn't there. Sears,
The Bay, Zellers, and WalMart all came up with a big goose egg, sale wise.
Nothin'. Zip, Zilch, Nada. :(
I wonder how much of a trickle-down effect this year's big loss for TLC is
having.. or if it's even related. But there I go digressing again.
Anyway, Zellers did have a few of those shorty red buckets, but they were at
full retail, which didn't convince us to buy any.
As for a count on Blue Buckets, I've got one (woohoo). All it's doing right now
is containing lego, so it might as well be put to a heavier task as a
fencepost. Another option might be those sparkly black Star Wars buckets, but
at $30 a crack that might be a bit pricey. But it's sparkly. Mmmm, Sparkly.
