Michaels is holding two Make-it Take-it events Saturday, March 10th. From 1-3pm when you purchase a T-shirt you can make a T-shirt bag. Then from 3-5pm they’ll be holding the freebie, where they’ll be making yarn dolls. Ages 3 and up, while supplies last.

An extra day this year means extra Gifts to Grow points, Hurray! Pampers has released another 10 point promotional code for the leap year. Expires March 5, 2012.
Pampers has released their bonus Gifts to Grow Valentines code below, worth 10 points. My little cupids and I had a big day at the Early Years Center and now they’re all worn out so supermommy can spend some time with superdaddy.

Vista Print is now offering $7.99 flat rate shipping. This is for 14 day standard delivery, which in my experience living in southern Ontario was much faster probably about only 4 days. If you click here you can get a free calendar (just pay shipping) and below I’ve listed a few half price deals they have going on.
The pictured bibs above that were sold at Dollarama have been recalled because “…the bibs’ lining contains a phthalate, specifically DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate), which exceeds the allowable limit.
Studies suggest that certain phthalates, including DEHP, may cause reproductive and developmental abnormalities in young children when soft vinyl products containing phthalates are sucked or chewed for extended periods.
Neither Health Canada nor Dollarama has received any reports of incidents or illnesses related to the use of these bibs.”
Item numbers 19-1900392 and 19-3018618 sold between July-August 2011 are the only ones affected. See full details here.
This is unfortunate as these were awesome bibs. I had to toss quite a few of my sons.
In addition to the Lego snowman/penguin event @ToysRUs hosted earlier today they have quite a few more deals running throughout the week that I’ve listed below. See the full flyer here.
On Saturday February 25th they will also be hosting a Beyblade Tournament. Top champion of each store will win a prize pack worth $54-$92 and entered in a draw to win 1 of 3 VIP ‘Golden Tickets’ to attend the Beyblade World Championships March 25th in Toronto. For kids 8-13, 32 spots available in each tournament, preregistration required. Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian except in Quebec if the child is 13 on or before the 25th. For you old people out there a Beyblade is a top and a cartoon, not some scary weapon. See participating location here.
@MichaelsStores will be holding yet again another Valentines workshop. When you purchase a wooden Curly-Q letter or frame on February 11th you can decorate it to make a Valentines gift in store. Class runs 1-3 pm.
On February 18th from 10am-noon you can make an “Express Yourself” tote bag with the purchase of a bandana. Both classes are while supplies last and ages 3+.
Also if looking for a deal on cake decorating Michaels is running a promotion where when you sign up for 2 Wilton 4 week classes you get 2 free. Offer ends March 10, 2012. Would make great Valentines gift for the special baker in your life.
Westjet announced today that they will launch a small regional fleet by the end of 2013.
WestJet confirmed Wednesday it will launch a low-fare, no frills regional airline, intensifying competition in smaller domestic markets with rival Air Canada (TSX:AC.B) for business and leisure class travellers.
“It’s the next logical step in WestJet’s evolution,” president and CEO Gregg Saretsky said on a conference call Wednesday.
What do you think of this announcement? I think it’s great. It will create more jobs, and more competition within the regional market.
Pampers has released another 5 point bonus Gifts to Grow code on their Twitter. Here is hoping we get another next week for Valentines.

If you need more pop various Coke and Pepsi products are also on sale for $2.99 all week. Check out full flyer here.
Usually I don’t go to Metro for anything but hunting coupons and occasionally Olymel chicken although I’ve gotten their meal deals before they aren’t bad for the price in my experiences.

They also have a deal going on where if you sign up for 4 weeks of Wilton cake decorating classes you can bring a friend free, which is $45 in savings. Offer ends February 11, 2012.

Pampers has released a 5 point bonus code for their Gifts To Grow program through Twitter. I’m less than 500 points to that big wheel tricycle and cannot wait to see the look on my sons face when he gets it for his second birthday in April. Every little bit helps.

@ShopprsDrugMart
There’s a new way to rack up the Shoppers Optimum points without having to get another credit card. Pretty exciting! Starting March 17, 2012, RBC will be offering a Shoppers Optimum debit card that will allow you to earn Optimum Points when you shop with it. Here are the key features of the new bank account:
It’s nice to have a non-credit card option to get some reward points!
