Amazon shoppers say this snow shovel is "very lightweight" and "very easy to use."
Heads up, it looks like January is going to be a snowy one for us Canadians. You can expect the most snowfall of the season this month, meaning you might wake up to blankets of snow on your driveway. It's important to be prepared; if you need help getting rid of it, a snow blower or snow thrower are both great options. However, they can be pretty costly, which means some of us prefer to stick to shovelling.

If you feel like you're over-exerting yourself, or if your back tends to hurt after shovelling, we found an Amazon Canada deal that might be of interest. Check out this Snow Shovel with Ergonomic Handle that shoppers say is "way easier on the back" than other shovels.
