Rona building Center is a great place to buy all you lumber building supplies, and the best of all is they have cutting service, the staff is quick and diligent, they even cut the purple heart I bought from Window plywoods. There is a bin out there with useful scraps for your kids projects as well.
In the years I have bought most tools from KMS, recently I bought a stand up 36" drill press, it comes with a laser guide and a light, and the table can be tilted at any angles you want. The response from the sales department is fast, and they always have some kind of promotions. If you are looking at a pump their selection is just hugh, you can get a pump to spray paint or a small pump to spray you chocolate mould. It's a fun place to go.
Home depot's appliance prices are very competitive, for example their samsung 24.8 cu ft fridge are highly effective on energy, roughly cost about $7 to $8 per month. The sales associates are very helpful too, they will go out of their way to look at products that is not displayed on the floor.
