Canadian Quick Questions: What Is It About A Liquidation Sale That Makes Us Act Like This?
My local Zellers closes in just over a week, so we thought we would go by and see what deals they had left. In the clothes section, people were arguing over a Jockey hoodie, one holding it by the hood, the other by an arm both saying they had seen it first – there were… Read more »

My daughter’s school announced in their paper newsletter that they will no longer be offering, well, paper newsletters.

50 Shades Of Grey. Whats the big deal?
Everywhere I go I hear or see women ranting about the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy written by E.L James. I had heard so many women gush about how amazing the trilogy was. I gave in and ordered them off Amazon a few months ago. I wish I could get a refund. I’m one of… Read more »
Rent To Own Stores- Is it the right choice for a “Smart Consumer”
Rent to own stores, we’ve all heard of them, some of us have items from them, but are they a smart choice? Recently I found an end table set that I liked on a site called Easy Home. I had never looked into one of these sites, and figured I could get a cash in… Read more »
Lip Balm: Winter’s #1 Necessity!
I wouldn’t say that I’m a lip balm addict, but more of an enthusiast. Since it’s relatively inexpensive, lip balm’s my most purchased cosmetic item. By the way, I’m not much of a makeup person! When it comes to lip care, I rarely go back to the same product. Instead, I’m fairly non-committal, preferring a… Read more »

Moxies Canada
I’ve eaten about 5 times at Moxies over the years. Apparently it’s always been too dark to see because until last night I never realized how revealing the waitresses dresses were.

Online Sample Sale Sites: No Bargains Here
(This post may sound eerily familiar to the one about there being too many “deal sites”, but instead of quantity, I’m wondering if there are truly any deals to be found on sites such as HauteLook, Beyond The Rack, Gilt Groupe, etc.) Like clockwork, every morning at 11am, they appear in my inbox, emails from… Read more »
