Tarrifs are crazy and alt clothes are already expensive so what are some canada based goth websites

Was in Taylor St. store and saw two bins of bartlett pears with u s stickers but both had Canadian signs. Did not buy and told one of the cashiers. “That’s interesting” was the response. Not good enough No Frills!

So I’ve always been a Dewalt Girl, and my impact driver just died. I’m looking at getting a new one but I know dewalt has new ownership and the quality isn’t the same as they use to be. I got a Milwaukee drill set on sale yesterday and the charger and batteries are very cheaply made, one battery doesn’t even work, so I’m gonna return it. What would be the best quality brand to now switch over to? All my Dewalt tools are over a decade old, and I have loved them but not interested in paying the prices if the quality is no longer there.

Found a huge display of these Purity Factories Ginger Snaps at Metro (in Ontario). Made in Newfoundland and they are delicious. Or as the kids say, Fire🔥. Highly recommend.

My wife has raynaud's and I finally got a decent job this year. What are the warmest, coziest, good quality (and mendable) socks I can get her? Preferably wool though I am open to other natural fibers.

Find your Canadian gear without breaking the bank. Previous post have been flagged by Reddit so hopefully this one sticks and doesn’t get removed!

These are just 3 exemples of Canadian brands, there’s also a filter to only see Canadian gear! Enjoy

Kombi Fly Running Gloves (women's): $26.39 (was $54.99, −52%)

Feedback is appreciated…. Trying to make this side project better and better over the last weeks! :)

I'm in heaven

I found these Crate 61 Organics brand soaps in the men’s grooming section at Winners last week. I bought them right away when smelled them and saw that they are handmade in Pickering Ontario with all natural ingredients.
I have been using the cedar and pine scented one now for about a week and am loving it. It lathers really well, smells great and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. My wife says that it smells “manly” and she likes it quite a bit. The soaps are plant based, not tested on animals and packaged in recyclable, sustainable packaging… which basically ticks all of the boxes for me.
I don’t know what else Crate 61 sells or what the company is all about but I hope they do well and continue to pump out these awesome handmade bars.
I also still really like the Guelph soaps that I found at Canadian tire for cheap this summer. They are cheaper than these Crate 61 bars but also smaller, so the value is not too far off when comparing the two.
Anyway, just thought I’d share with you guys and I hope that you all keep supporting our local manufacturers and that everyone has a great weekend!

Hi all
I’m looking at the Sonja Aura from Jewel Nests (pic attached) and I'm about 80% sold, but I've been burned buying stuff online before so I'd love some outside opinions before I hit the button.

Stuff that makes me think it's fine:

-the stones come with IGI or GIA certs, so at least I can look up the diamond itself
-they say everything is handmade by jewellers in Canada, and they've apparently been around since 2019
-free resizing and free engraving

Stuff that makes me hesitate:

-I'm in Montreal so I can't go see it in person, and I couldn't find a showroom address, just "Toronto". maybe they work by appointment only, which would make sense for a small studio

Has anyone ordered from them? How was the quality?

I was in Newfoundland about a year and a half ago. We had purchased a pre made vegan potato corn chowder from a local superstore. I swear this is one of the best soups I’ve ever had. I’m in Alberta and have searched and searched for the same soup. It’s a glass jar with a gold medal lid. I desperately want to re create this soup but I need a photo of the ingredients list. Any help would be greatly appreciated. From a gal who’s been thinking about this soup for nearly 2 years

I bought my Cozey Cielo sofa sometime in 2021 or 2022. From the beginning customer service was amazing. The fabric on the sofa was forming lint balls and they replaced all the covers. The seat cushions were losing feathers like crazy so they replaced the seat cushions. I think they even replaced the back cushions because of lumpiness. This was over a period of the first 2 years of ownership. The fabric is still good, however the cloud like seat cushions have turned into hard lumps, no matter how many times I try to fluff them up. The back cushions are ridiculously lumpy and misshapen. They will not go back to looking like proper sofa back cushions ever. I didn’t contact Cozey again because I was told by customer service after the first cushion replacement that it wouldn’t happen again. I expected my sofa to last longer than it has. I noticed the cushions were not quite right probably in early 2024, but I had a lot going on in my life and couldn’t be bothered to write a review at that time. Over the last several weeks I’ve been realizing just how uncomfortable this sofa is and getting ready to sell it or throw it out. All that to say, if you want a sofa that will give you 2-3 years of comfort, go for it. But if you want something that will last you at least 5 years, look elsewhere than Cozey.

Is anyone familiar with kids clothing brand Peanut and Bumble? Their ad popped up in my social media feed and they have cute stuff and claim to be made in Canada, however I've seen a few posts lately about scammy brands and maple washing, and they don't list an address if location on their website.

I love my cuffed joggers, but fear they will be a bit chill in the winter.

Any suggestions for insulated men's joggers? I used to get these insulated cargo pants from Costco that were nice, but looking for something a bit more casual than those. Something in between sweat pants and jeans.

Something Canadian owned, or in some way supports Canadian Business.

Thanks!

I’m looking for counter height kitchen stools. A comfortable and reliable ikea stool I’ve had in past apartments is $50. The closest priced Canadian alternative I can find is a poorly reviewed Structube stool, and from what I understand Structube quality is very hit or miss compared to IKEA’s consistency.

After that, the next cheapest Canadian counter height kitchen stool I’ve found is $260.

What Canadian company can I support with a kitchen stool budget that doesn’t go up to $300/stool?

The bigger question: What is a mid-budget Canadian furniture retailer with consistent products?

I live in downtown Toronto, I do not own a car, and do not have the budget for things like EQ3, Woodwerks, etc…

I understand that my budget likely means not Made in Canada, but I would like to support a Canadian company at least.

Edit: I am well aware that famously Swedish company IKEA is from Sweden, and that Sweden is not in the U.S. and so IKEA is therefore not American. I don’t give a shit. This sub is called “BuyCanadian” not “AvoidAmerican,” I just want to support Canadian businesses when I can, I’m not trying to boycott Swedish companies.

I seen a tik tok video that was a creator trying different types of wild game meat sticks from Hunter's Reserve. I thought this would be an excellent gift for the Hunter's in my life. Unfortunately, they dont ship to Canada. Is there a Canadian company that has wild game meat sticks that ships?

Purchased from craigmont.ca. It took a little while to arrive in Vancouver because I think they did ground shipping, but I wasn’t in a rush.

Been using it a few times now and it’s unscented and works great! Recommend!

Trout River trailers is Canadian from PEI - I see them locally all the time - just did not know they were Canadian made

I’ve had a nice leather duffle. Hides Canada has been on my mind for a minute. They have the 50L leather duffle that looks amazing. Does anyone have any experience with this company ?

Without counting, I would estimate that I have purchased about 20ish pairs of different styles of BN3Th undies over the years. I ordered a bunch back around 2021 and 2022 because I was impressed with the quality and the fit and that they didn’t give me any issues like riding up or wedgies. The recent pairs I’ve purchased however seems to be a much thinner material that bunches up like crazy and also loses its color due to fading. I have pairs from 2021 that have outlasted pairs I’ve purchased no more than a year ago.

Has anyone else noticed the same quality decline as me? What are some better alternatives? I just ordered a pair from Manmade to see if they’re a viable replacement. What do you all use?

Hi! I'm looking to buy some toys for my niece's first birthday and have them delivered directly to her in Canada.

I've checked Amazon Canada, but the prices and shipping charges seem quite high.

Does anyone have recommendations for websites that are affordable and accept international payments?

Thanks!

Just putting this out there.
