Q: I read your shlog and I found you mentioned two places for snow pants with cheap prices. I have heard of one close to the Angrignon centre, off an exit of Highway 20. So, I just think you are the most knowledgeable person when it comes to shopping. It is supposed to be an outlet for winter and ski clothes.

A: They might be talking about Mega Vente, (120 boul. St-Joseph, Lachine Tel: 514-637-1116) . They have men’s snow pants for around $29.99. This was a secret warehouse for a long time, but now it’s very open to the public.

This huge neat space has something for everyone at 75%-90% off, from men’s suits/tie/shirt combos at $99 (34-60 short, reg, tall) – including a salesman to help you out  – to $1, $3, $5 kids’ (3 mos.-16) racks. The first quality clothing is balance of inventory from the current season. Females (XS-4XL) and males (S-5XL) might find: sweat shirts, dress shirts ($8), jackets ($39), T-shirts ($3), jeans, cotton fleece, nylon pants, pyjamas, dresses, blouses, swimsuits, shorts and even kids’ snowsuits all year round.

Other location: Laval, 2055 Autoroute 440 O. (450-688-2221).  www.megaventemontreal.com

Q: Love your website. Do you know of anyone that repairs snowblowers either shops or home service? Need help…..

A: There is an entire 20-page section in my book Smart Shopping Montreal for Repairmen. Under “Sharpening” you will find: Jean Guglia & fils at 10,344 Boul. St-Laurent. They sell and fix snowblowers as well as many other tools. They must know what they are doing as they have been open for 58 years. http://jeanguglia.com/

Q: How do I find discontinued Annabelle Lipstick, Rouge Velours Line, called Angelique, number 115?

A:  This is the phone number of Annabelle headquarters (they just had a fabulous warehouse sale and have them twice a year) : 800-387-7710
