The report further stated that this generation spend the most among their cohorts when it came to dining out. "Canada now has an abundance of restaurants options with eclectic cuisines, which makes dining out a desirable and easy alternative to cooking at home", mentioned about Nielsen report.

Do you feel like nothing can be done? Do you feel like you can never find anything in your room/house? Or things just mysteriously disappear? If you answer yes to most of the above questions, your room/house needs a good clean up.
