CJAD: Father’s Day Ideas
For Father’s Day, this year it seems logical to be going back to the basics: shavers, gas bbqs or …yoiks, clothing
1) Is there any place to buy a shaver and get a deal?
Electrotech, 9490 Henri-Bourassa o., Ville St-Laurent
Expect at least 30% off 2nd-grade and liquidated Philips shavers, TV’s and DVD’s, Conair irons, Cuisinart toasters, kettles and blenders, Henckel knives & woks, coffee grinders and coffee makers. Don’t be surprised to come across Salton, Magnavox, Samsung brands, and perhaps even a wine fridge. Other location: Les Factoreries St-Sauveur.
2) There are all kinds of sales on barbeques in the flyers, how do we know which ones will last?
Joey Services BBQ & Propane Center, 12320 boul. Gouin ouest, Pierrefonds.
With 34 years of hands on service, this BBQ information center sells new high quality BBQ’s (Weber, Broil King, Napoleon) and accessories. They will accept barbeques for repair or will have them picked up at your home (an extra charge). They can re-fill your propane tanks, and have in stock replacement parts for all brands of gas grills, and. www.joeyservices.com
3) If we want to buy Dad some clothes, do you have any special store to mention for Father’s Day?
Jaf Pret-a-Porter 900 boul. Decarie, Ville St-Laurent, 514-744-0985
For Father’s Day, besides the free tie with any suit purchase, they are giving away restaurant gift certificates with minimum purchases so you can take Dad out for dinner too. If you spend a minimum of $400, you are given a certificate for $25 for le Bordelais or Le Chambertin. For a $50 certificate, you must spend $1000.
This is a neighbourhood corner store which has deals on men’s clothes, some with well known names. Helpful salesmen will find you pants (to 50) and shirts (to 5XL) starting at $25, suits (to 56) at $175 – $795, sports jackets $175 & up, sweaters, jackets, and free on the spot alterations. There are also made-to-measure suits and shirts, and some suits for athletically built men. Ask about tuxedos and rentals, and if you need them, boys’ suits in sizes 4-20. Other locations: 619 boul. Rene-Levesque (514-877-9888); 3240 boul. St-Martin o. (450-978-9661); Centre de liquidation, 1880 St-Martin o. (450-688-3636). www.jaf.ca
