What can I buy in Nova Scotia

[luvmysuper]

I'm leaving in a few hours on a short fused trip to Nova Scotia, Will be staying near New Glasgow, but flying into and out of Halifax.
Any of my great white north brethren know of any Brick and Mortar shops where I can pick up some goodies?

Hmmmm, I'm from the Great White North but the wrong end of it unfortunately. I'm sure somebody from the East will be able to comment though.

EDIT: Just found this thread which might have something of value:

Thanks Tball -
Looks like Proraso at Shoppers and Wilkinson Sword Soap, German Brushes and Red Gillettes at Walmart.
That's a great start. Appreciate the tip.

Im about an hour and a half outside of halifax. I had to order my blades and brush and stuff from else where.

You can get proraso, wilkinson, kiss my face, and the real shaving company locally but thats about it. As for blades, gillette or wilkonson sword classic (yellow pack) at shoppers.

lots of aqua velva though

Having been there, I can say truthfully that Sara Bonnyman's shop is a lovely 1 hour drive from New Glasgow, and it is very well worth the trip.

Lots of goodies there as gifts for The Bride too!!

There ya go, a reason to take a drive in the countryside. IMO, Nova Scotia is one of the prettier provinces plus you can get yourself a scuttle and a couple coffee mugs. Her site even says there are scuttles in stock! I hear Tatamagouche calling you.

Let us know if you get there.

At the airport, thought I'd check one more time, glad I did. I have her GPS coordinates punched into my TomTom already.

What can you buy in Nova Scotia? How about some fresh salmon?

If you're a tea drinker, the Maritime provinces are home to King Cole tea, packed in gauze tea bags. We can't get 'em in the States.

What's the difference? Does the gauze allow for better infusion or something?

dang, beat me to the thought!

Yes, that's what they claim. The bags feel different. I don't know if they are thin fabric or paper. Some people think paper imparts a bitterness to the tea. Of course, loose tea solves that problem, but this is a matter for another obsessive hobby...
