Can’t afford that pricey new lawnmower from Canadian Tire? Start saving their signature paper money, and in 15 years, you might just be able to pay for it.

Lawnmower

At least that’s what Brian McPherson did.

The 29-year-old from Edmonton, Alberta recently cashed in his collection of Canadian Tire paper bills for a lawnmower he’s had his eye on since he was 14 (it all started with his purchase of a hockey stick when he was in his early teens).

"I put the case down and opened it up and she kind of had a look of ‘Oh my' on her face," McPherson explained to CTV News.

Though it seems like buying the priciest item in a store is just a fantasy a kid might have when given "money" for free, McPherson actually committed to his statement. Since then, he’s been a regular at the Canadian retail store, purchasing everything from gas to repair items in an attempt to reach his original goal.
