It’s Tuesday and you are officially knee deep in the work week. It may not be the most interesting day but it can definitely be worthwhile if you do one of the activities on today’s installment of Dollars and Sense. Since it is Tuesday we have things that will only cost you a $10 spot. Best of all, today’s installment focuses on all of the cool things you can do in Toronto, Canada. Check it out below!
Visit The Steam Whistle Brewery:
Of the many microbreweries in Toronto, the Steam Whistle gets top marks for location, sandwiched between the ACC and the CN Tower in a railway roundhouse building. The $6 brewery tour informs about combining hops and malt, as well as providing a glimpse of Toronto’s railroading past. Steam Whistle offers tours, pours sizable samples and hosts various events and exhibits. The products are available here, at most bars and taverns in town, and in the Beer Store.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Make a List before you go shopping!
Impulse buying is not only real but it’s dangerous. It’s very hard to resist the temptation to purchase extra things while shopping; therefore it is extremely important to make a list first! Without creating a list, you will buy extra things and possibly forget the things you came to buy! Not only will it save time but it will also save the stress of going back to the supermarket if you forgot something!
