Canadian Specific Thread

I heard that the Canadian tire credit card can be used to pay bills that don’t normally accept credit card payments. That you use the online portal to pay bills and the bill thinks it was a bank not a cc. Is this true? Property taxes in my city don’t accept cc and paying such a huge bill (I have multiple houses) with no points or rewards sucks.

Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

Can confirm. And you earn CTM for it too.

Is there a way to calculate the optimal amount of rrsp contributions to use in a tax return, and how much to defer?

Shoppers Drug mart currently has their bonus redemption event on. If anyone has points and a list of shoppers - type items, now is the time.

(Also, my vacuum motor burnt out yesterday, and while I wouldn’t normally think to look for a vacuum at shoppers? apparently, they sell em)

(Also, my husband - “If you are buying a vacuum, get something for you too. When was he last time you bought yourself new makeup or something?” So i have a new eyeshadow coming as well)

Is buttergate permanent? Or am I using up old butter (I don’t think so, because this one is fridge not freezer butter). The last 3 blocks have not been close to spreadable.

You mean feeding the cows flax seed (or whatever) and the texture being different after the pandemic baking boom?

I suspect permanent. Mr. Cereal is leaving a chunk of butter out on the counter for spreading on lunch sandwiches. My kids are animals, like me, and think a big hunk of cold butter is great on bread.

Cineplex is running a $5 Tuesdays for the next month. I may see about going out to the movies.
