Tax Free Shopping at Giant Tiger! November 27 & 28th

So, looks like we are getting a "tax free" weekend for shopping at Giant Tiger this weekend. But of course, there are restrictions.

** Tax free Weekend excludes grocery, candy, pet food, cleaning supplies, health & beauty, tobacco, lottery, gift cards and online purchases. While quantities last - no rain cheques issued for applicable goods. Offer only valid at participating stores on Saturday and Sunday, from open to close. Not valid on previous purchases.**

Do you Shop at Pharma Plus??? November 26 -28th, 2010


Starting tomorrow, spend $50 + at Rexall Pharma Plus and you will receive 100 bonus airmiles. I do shop there, and they have some amazing deals this coming week, so I'll be taking advantage of this. Spending $50 isn't usually a problem in this store, especially because of the food/bathroom paper. Not to mention makeup, cards, etc. LOL. I'm really very close to having my 1,000 airmiles and that is what I'm trying to get before year end. Anyone want to join me?

Future Shop: SHH Secret one day Sale Nov 25th


Ok, I don't shop at the Future shop all that often, but with Christmas coming up and having five (yes count them FIVE) young adults, it's amazing how many Christmas requests we get for electronics and such things. Each child is asked to provide a list, and we go from there. Knowing that this sale is up and coming makes it a little easier for the shopping as I have been eyeing a few things from Future Shop for them. So now I go and buy them that night. LOL. Anyone out there want to join me?

Are you a Bulk Barn Shopper?



Christmas is fast approaching which means a couple of things in my home.




First, pull out the gifts that I have purchased for all the family during the year. Sit down and review, and then decide who is getting what. Then the fun part. SHOPPING for what I need to get to finish my list. Usually it's not a really big deal because I do a lot of shopping during the year, and my husband is usually pretty pleased that I don't spend all that much in the six weeks leading up to Christmas (If only he totally understood the reason WHY!!!!!)




Secondly, we prepare for the big BAKE OFF needed to supply our cookie exchanges, our family get togethers, our midnight Santa treat raids....well, you get the idea. Lots of baking is needed. Thankfully we are lucky enough to have a Bulk Barn close by. There is nothing better when you have to do baking for more then 20 people to eat then to shop at Bulk Barn.
Right now, Bulk Barn has a very nice special coupon going on. Shop between November 12th and 25th, spend $10 and you will get $3 off with the coupon http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en-ca/page/coupon7.html. Looks like you can use it as many times as you want during this period, but sure makes Christmas baking all that much easier if it's cheaper to the pocket......

Have you checked your Dollar Store recently?


Have you spent any time in the Dollarama recently? Gee, I just LOVE shopping at Dollarama. After the price changes earlier this year, you can now purchase quite a few items that will be no more then $2 each. How can you go wrong?



I know it's not the normal thing, but you can get some pretty mean electronic items there. I mean seriously, can you beat $2 for batteries? What about a cell phone case? $1.50. Try getting that price at Bell (good luck). Phone extension cords are a favorite in my house too. I guess that is what happens when your phone lives in the dining room and you want to get into the fridge for a drink (a LOOONG way away from the dining room....LOL).


Kids crafts. Another fav of mine. All of our babies are grown and gone now, but most of our friends are in the process of young ones. There is nothing worse then having to "lug" toys to just have a coffee when you are on your way to visit with our house, so for less then $20, we have been able to create a "basket" with tons of scrapbooking crafty ideas that keeps most kids busy and happy. And give's mommy a chance for a "kid free" coffee (as if that would ever happen!)


And when you are in the store, trip down the aisle where they keep there toiletries, bath and health and beauty. You would be so pleasantly surprised to see the kind of deals that you can find that are so much more cheaper then shopping in other stores. Try finding nail polish remover for $1 anywhere else (and yes, that is what I paid for it!)

I love dollar stores. And a lot of people I know shop there. There are times that people call me cheap, strange (because I use coupons), or just down right weird. But as I have said before, I would much rather the money stay with my family then be in some retailer's bottom line. Besides, frugality is a way of life. An option, but a good one.
