I saw on the news that these things are flying off the shelves and people are paying $$$ to get them off kijiji and stuff. Are you buying one? I think my cats would love them. It’s basically a battery operated toy hamster.

ToysRUs.ca has announced on their facebook page that Toronto stores will be receiving a shipment of 400 Zhu Zhu Pets on Saturday, November 21, and an additional 1100 for online sales.

They retail for $12.99, and are limited to two hamsters per family ! ToysRUs.ca recommends that online shoppers try their luck before 7 AM. Happy hunting!

What the heck is a Zhu Zhu?

From looking around the deals section, it looks like the Loblaws stores are having tax free days for different parts of Canada in the next few weeks.  Here are the ones that I’ve seen listed so far:

• Nov 21-22 Superstore ON
• Nov 26-27 Superstore BC, possibily Western Canada (if AB is included in this one, they have a save double the GST sale seeing as they don’t have PST.  I love this event).

If you know of any other tax free Loblaws events going on in the next couple of weeks please post them here in the comments section or over in the deal section to let your fellow bargain hunters know.  I’m sure we all love not having to pay taxes sometimes!

Thanks to trucks12trucks and seapotato for posing these tax free events.

There is another promotion going on called “Gobblepalooza”, check out the Old Navy Weekly website and it redirects to the new promo site. I have heard that ONW coupons will be back next month.

But, I do have another hot Old Navy deal for you, on now you can take an EXTRA 50% off on already reduced items. This promo happens from time to time and is crazy good cause clothes are very cheap.

Wes Anderson made some of my favourite movies, like “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums”. His latest movie is “Fantastic Mr Fox”, based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book and it looks great. This movie stars many awesome actors, including Bill Murray, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, and Jason Schwartzman. I’ve read reviews about how it’s probably too intelligent and weird for kids, but adults that love this book will probably enjoy this movie. If you like movies that are a bit…weird, you’ll love this.

Anyway, Fox Searchlight has free screenings available for this movie, there is a large list of cities, but the only Canadian ones on there are Montreal (sold out) and Edmonton, which was added today. I am hoping more cities get added soon, but since this movie opens on Nov 25th, I am not getting my hopes up. I will most likely see this in theatres anyway. But I will keep my eye on this site in case new theatres are added.

Thanks to ‘Toronto’ for sharing this deal with us!

For all those Twilight fans, I know I am definitely not one, but I know a lot of people are… buy any popcorn size between Nov 17 and Dec 7, 2009 at Cineplex Theatres and get a FREE fountain drink in a New Moon collector cup!

From Amazon.ca today, a 4-pack of Seasons 1 to 4 of Doctor Who for $136.49. Each season tends to run for around $40-$50 each usually, so this isn’t a bad deal. Of course, disregard the 59% savings, since the list price at $329 is completely ridiculous… (you can put together the individual seasons on your own for way less than that).

Today we have a cute little contest sponsored by Zutano.com.

The colorful aesthetic and heartwarming ethic of Zutano was born out of the talent and dedication of one creative new mom and dad. Over the years, Zutano has matured, refining the essentials of its charter mission and blossoming into an extraordinary force in the children’s clothing industry.
