im very close to doing it!! kijiji looks really bad in moncton for kegging and mini fridges

If you have the space, move into a full size fridge. You will have plenty of room for your kegs, growlers and bottles.

Kits usually save you a few $$, id recommend doing the perilick tap upgrade. They're more money but you'll probably regret it later if you don't.
Costco here in HFX upped the mini fridges to $179 last I was there. That is what I used tho, last year they went on sale for $129 at one point. It's not absolutely required but consider adding a temperature controller too.

I survived haha. I showed up with the keg gear first, let it sit around for a few weeks. Then came home with the fridge, was a pissing match for the first 30 minutes, after that she was ok.

Also as Allan said spend the few extra $$$ on Perlicks. I'm waiting for the 630's to come out and I'm replacing my 3 taps.

That's the route I took. Picked up CO2, reg and corney from Kijiji, picked up the Danby from Costco, went with picnic taps for a while then got the stainless dual tower with perlicks when the budget allowed. Picked up more kegs as they became available.

Post an add for what you are looking for, I'm sure you will get a few hits, it took me about 2-3 weeks to get all the stuff for Stanley.
