Firstly; hi there! *waves*

What thermometer does everyone use? For my fellow Camadians, do you use Farenheit or Celcius? Does it matter? I can't find one that will read to 2 decimal points, is that important?

I got mine at Walmart (Basal Digital Thermometer-Walmart) and I like it. You would definitely need to get one that reads 2 decimal points and it needs to be a basal thermometer...not a regular fever thermometer. I'm not Canadian so I can't advise on the C vs. F, but I don't think it really matters much..probably just what your personal preference would be.

Whereabouts are you in Canada? I have gotten a F one from London Drugs, it is a basal thermometer but only has 1 decimal point. The one I use now is from Shoppers drug mart and reads in C. I have seen them at Walmart too, but not at all of them. Usually in the pharmacy area right at their counter. Doesn't matter which you use, F or C, I used to enter mine in an online conversion and enter is as F, but it's just as easy to enter it in C... and when people look at it, I have my settings so you read it in F. Hope that helps!

I live in Edmonton as well! I've searched everywhere and can't find one that reads to 2 decimals. I have one from walmart I think and it reads Celcius to 1/10th.

i personally dont feel that 2 decimals in needed. Thermal shifts are usually significant enough that you can see them to the 10th
