Where can I buy Bag Balm? Does Canadian Tire still carry it? My
finance has dry feet, and wants some.

You can get it on Amazon.com too, but probably the shipping will be
more than the value of the product.

Thank you. Now I will look for the location of Lee Valley Tools.

I thought Canadian Tire carried it a few years ago. What happened?
Did it go out of favor?

We probably won't send for it by mail. She had the idea that it
might be available at a Co-Op store. I don't know where the
nearest Co-Op store may be.

I will mention that to her. She's a nurse, and she used to do 4-H
stuff, and train horses and dogs and cats, so she probably will
recognize the name.

Thanks for the links. Big place. I'm not quite sure how to get to
it. Is it past the cinema and Chapters? Which side is it on?

It is past the cinema and Chapters, and on the other side of the
street. Do you know where Kokomos and the Benjamin Moore paint store
are? I think there's a Harley dealership over there too.

Answering my own post, she said that Eucerin is more expensive
than Bag Balm and doesn't work as well. She is very familiar with
it, having used it for her patients in nursing homes in the
States. The authorities down south force the nurses to use Eucerin
instead of Bag Balm, presumably because it's been tested on
humans. But according to her, it doesn't work nearly as well. She
said that nothing she's used works as well as Bag Balm for curing
bed sores.

No. I'm miserable with finding places. But from your directions, I
know I will find this place. One thing about the Bayers Lake
Industrial Park, it's just one long road (more or less). I've
never been to the Harley place but it might be fun to drop in.

I got it. Lea Valley in Bayers Lake has it. Ten bucks for a big
square tin. It's made in Quebec. My soon-to-be says it smells the
same as what she's used in the past.

Why,,, would you assume that a US "nursing home" would "force" the use
of "lesser product" over something used to treat the teats of a
cow,,,, on their "guests"?

Hmmm,,, lets see,,, insurance (HMO) issues, family complaints etc.
LOL!

She's used both. Bag Balm just works better for healing skin
problems with older people.

I was using a bit of sarcasm for the obvious. :-)

The stuff is actually really good.

I bought some for DW at Lee Valley after reading that Shenia Twain
uses it for under her eyes.

If Shenia uses it,,,, that good enough for me ,,,, and DW. LOL!

I love seeing you post. Every time you do, you prove yourself more of an
idiot.

"Answering my own post, she said that Eucerin is more expensive than Bag
Balm and doesn't work as well."

She's a nurse and has used both, yet you make it sound like she's the idiot.
You've judged it as less effective because...............

I've used both as well and find the Bag Balm to be much better for my feet.

Of course, you'll argue the point so as to try and make yourself look
smarter than a chimp.....which is doubtful.

I'm going to be very afraid the day I find one of your posts or replies
makes sense to me.

Hi, really late to this post! But I came up with it today and others might as well.

It can also be purchased from "The Oakville Store" (in Canada or USA).
https://www.oakvillestore.ca/bag-balm/
https://www.oakvillestore.ca/product/bag-balm-beauty-cream/

It is great stuff!

That’s great! I’ve been looking for some for 30-40 years. Are they
reasonably priced? 45 years ago I got my last ones for 4-cents a dozen.

When we had a cow -- 1970s -- it was on the shelf at the Farmer's Co-op
in Bridgewater. I would suppose, perhaps over-optimistically, that it
would still be on the shelf at all Co-op outlets/stores.

Hmmmm. I was being silly (my best attribute after surviving the
Public Service) when responding to the OP. It was one of those posts
that came out of the blue, and I didn't even bother looking up Big Balm
on Google.

Maybe we can get 2 for the price of 1 if we are interested!
