I recently bought a refurb desktop from these guys, and they are a known, reputable retailer for refurb computers:
https://ca.refurb.io/collections/refurbished-laptops
A quick browse shows they have old refurb laptops in the $350 - $500 range, with usable specs like 8th to 11th gen iCore CPUs wtih 16GB RAM and 500-ish GB SSD, Win11 included.

I'm hoping for some good financing plans for a new phone.
So far the ones they are promoting are lease only with an expensive monthly plan.

I haven't relied on a carrier to "subsidize" a new phone for me in perhaps 10 years or so. I've always liked the convenience of just choosing a plan with a phone I already own without having to be tied to a contract.

The refurb iPhone 16 max was a good one through Fido if you were targeted to get that deal.

I haven't done the subsidized thing either for about that long too.... But my last 2 phones were preorder when they were first announced... And going into a contract with the provider to get the same phone wasn't an option. Every year or two, I'd also be changing phone plans too all within Fido because they offered better deals than my current plan during BF.

The TVs themselves are super light. I mounted my 75" on my own. The limitation of mounting a modern TV is your wingspan rather than the weight. My 75" TV is maybe 30lbs if that much. Now if you want to swing it around then you'd want two anchor points.
I haven't gotten a subsidized phone in a long time. But I also have odd tastes in phones as the phones I get are all not offered. My last 3 phones I bought were HTC10, Oneplus 6, Sony Xperia 1.

i mounted my 85 inch and it's good. Honestly we don't move it much (then again it's 85 inch and nimble as F). Trying to convince my wife to all me to get the 98 inch but then my 85 in won't fit down the stairs as I can't pivot it into my basement.

If you don't mind used skates, Cyclone Taylor has used skates for sale, and they know how to fit your kids properly:
https://cyclonetaylorfigureskates.co...-figure-skates
A friend had been buying used figure skates from them as their daughter grow. I don't remember whether their fitting include moulding the skates for you or not, but at least it was something they have mentioned.

The link you gave was for figure skates, I looked up the regular store and they are a separate store and they don't seem to have used skates. But will go check them out anyways, thanks for the tip

Zero chance of warranty either, not worth shipping them both back.

I have 2 clocks and they both work and keep pretty good time (need to bump one up a minute every 6 months or so)
If you were here I'd try to fix it, or at least replace the clock unit itself. You can probably get the exact same one for like $5 on Taobao
Edit: Yup here it is, more like $2

For hockey skates if you’re not playing competitive hockey and just skating occasionally a mid tier skate will do just fine.
I’ve used CCM skates my whole life, they tend to fit wider than Bauer. But there’s new fits for each brand now. Just try on a bunch. There’s a sportchek friends and family event right now until the end of today (Weds).
