Announcements
This morning we made an awful discovery while browsing through the Websaver.ca website, and that was that one of Canada’s favourite online retailers for distributing mail-out coupons will no longer be offering mail-out coupons to your home. Sad and shocking, I know, but it is the truth. At least that’s what the situation will be for the next little while, as Websaver.ca is advertising that they will be bringing back mail-out coupons in a new format starting this April.
The mail-out coupons, as far as we can understand from the limited information that is being provided by Websaver.ca, will be part of the new VIP Mail to Home Club. Until then, however, you will have to instead print out your coupons on the site.
We’ll reveal more of the details pertaining to this VIP Mail to Home Club as they are made public by Websaver.ca, but until then you will have to wait patiently and utilize their print at home option for your coupons.

Target have slashed some price cuts again. All groceries are now 25% off original prices, and many prices are already cheaper than grocery stores. I picked up tubs of Carnation hot chocolate at $3.89 shelf price last week plus 20% off – these are regularly on sale for $3.99 at most grocery stores so there are definitely some deals out there now. Here is a list of the newest mark downs:
- 25% off all groceries
- 25% off bedding
- 25% off TVs
- 30% off office/school supplies
- 30% off toys
- 30% off blinds & drapery
40% is still the highest discount available, but check our unadvertised deals thread as users are still finding some great hidden deals with the liquidation price cut taken after the reduced clearance prices.

Toys R Us Canada will be a hosting, as they’re calling it, The Ultimate Family Event this Saturday, February 21st where there will be storewide discounts, free games, and giveaways designed for the entire family to enjoy. The event is free, and there is no registration necessary, but if you’re wanting to cash-in on some of the in-store giveaways you should aim to get there earlier, as there is only a limited supply available at each location.
A small sampling of what you can come to expect during this free play day at Toys R Us includes:
- Hibiscus Charm Bracelet Make n’ Take Event – create your first bracelet for FREE (100 per store, not including Quebec)

And so it continues, with the Target Canada reductions have now gone up to 40% off their original price during their final closeout sale, with some exceptions applying.
Select pieces will be going between 20%-40% off, but bear in mind that some of these prices may have been initially marked up, only to reflect a ‘discount’ that only appears larger than what it actually is. While this isn’t the nicest of things for consumers to have to deal with, it just means that you may have to do a bit more digging to find the really good deals hidden in Target’s liquidation sale. My advice? Always price compare! Especially before making bigger ticket purchases, it’s really rather easy to do a quick Google search to see if Walmart or Best Buy has prices that can beat Target’s closing ones.
It’s a sad time to have to finally face saying goodbye to Target, but at the very least during your time of mourning you should try to pick up some of their last minute hot deals before they completely leave Canada’s backyard.

Good news from VIA Rail Canada; for those of you who may have missed out on yesterday’s discounted Tuesday sale with VIA Rail, they have extended their offer and made the savings even bigger by offering you up to 55% off economy fares across Canada and on business class travel for the Quebec City – Windsor corridor.
This sale will be running until February 14th, 2015, making it an opportune time to book your Valentine’s Day getaway – should you not be able to travel this weekend, as the booking must be made 3 days in advance. You can, however, book your weekend getaway up until February 28th, 2015, and if you’re opting for the business class offer, you will only be allowed to travel on weekends (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays).
I was able to find the incredibly low price of $115.26 for a roundtrip ticket from Toronto Union Station to Montreal for a week long trip in the middle of February; as if you can’t afford to fly south, going somewhere beats sticking around home, am I right? The one-way fares for this trip were so low, it would almost be worthwhile to upgrade to business class, since it would only cost $99 each way, for a total of $198.

VIA Rail Canada is having another one of their great discount Tuesdays deals, where you can save on both Economy fare and Sleeper fare, should you book before midnight tonight and travel on the specified days set out by VIA Rail. Those days, if you are travelling on economy fare, are between February 11th up to February 17th, and if you are travelling on sleeper fare, you must travel between February 11th and March 10th.
If you’re needing to book a last minute trip, which is what this sale is really targeted for, then you should definitely check out VIA Rail’s prices before booking a flight. For instance, I was looking for last minute prices on a trip to Winnipeg from Toronto for this weekend, and while it does take longer to get there, the prices were nearly half that of if you were to book a flight.
I used Google Flight Tracker (every travel buddies best friend) to compare the airplane prices for the same trip that would be leaving on February 11th and returning for February 17th. The flights for this trip, on average, would’ve cost $773, while a train trip would cost you $375.90 (taxes included).
This sale with VIA Rail will only be available until midnight tonight.

The latest in the line of companies going bankrupt or pulling out of Canada: RedBox announced that they are leaving Canada. I know many people have free rental coupons from various promotions, so if you have one, you need to use it by February 13th.
You will have 20 days from the rental date, or until March 5th for recent rentals, to return any outstanding rentals or pay the full purchase price ($30 + tax for DVDs, $40 + tax for Blu-ray). If your RedBox disappears before March 5th, you can contact them to return your rentals. They say that the Canadian market just doesn’t have the remand they need to make it profitable.
If you bought a TeamBuy deal for RedBox, they are offering refunds, but no refunds will be given for other free promo codes (they recently gave out 10 free rentals as prizes for a contest etc).

For those of you waiting for Target’s liquidation sales, you do not have long to wait! While Target have chosen a liquidator (awaiting court approval), leaked memos show that they expect huge sales to start this Thursday – even if the liquidator has not been approved at that time.
The memos state “we expect Thursday sales to double compared to a normal Thursday” and “Thursday will be like Black Friday“. Some of this is likely due to the news breaking that the liquidation has started, we have all seen the pictures from people who have recently visited Target for the first time looking for sales after the news broke even though the liquidator had not yet been appointed. However, some will also be due to the actual sales. The memo also says that they will start marketing the sales soon, even though they have previously said that no more flyers will be printed.
A forum member who works at Target also mentioned that many stores are getting trucks of new items, including the plus size clothing that was promised last year and spring lines – and it will go on sale too!
If you visit Target on Thursday or later, be sure to let us know what bargains you pick up!
It’s that time of year again, where Tim Hortons Canada will be busting out those infamous red cups that hold the potential to either gift you with that magical and oh so sought after three-letter word (“Win”) or to simply dash your hopes and dreams aside by cursing you with that ill-fated, three-word phrase “Please, try again”. You all know what I’m talking about, the tumultuous season of RRRoll Up the Rim to Win is upon us, and while in previous years you may not have been a winner (be it of a free coffee or plasma screen TV), this year may just be your chance to redeem yourself as there are over 48 million prizes to be won.
And running alongside the traditional in-store RRRoll Up the Rim contest with Tim Hortons, will be the online edition called RRRoll Up Replay; a contest where you can essentially double your odds of wining by playing on either your desktop, tablet, or mobile device. The rules of this online edition enable you to play up to 5 Game Cups at a time, with each Game Cup containing 2 rolls. The more you play online, the more badges and points you can collect, which will further increase your chances of winning prizes!
Unlike last year’s edition of Tim Hortons RRRoll Up Replay contest, you will be able to play this online game all day as each hour you will earn a new cup to be played. If you are able to collect 200,000 points before the contest ends on April 2nd, 2015 (this is the closing date for both the in-restaurant and online contest), you will be eligible to play on the Extra Day of Play on April 7th, 2015 where you will have the chance to play from a prize pool which will include a 2015 Toyota Camry.
For the standard in-restaurant competition, the eligible cups for the chance to roll up 1 RRRoll Up the Rim will be a small, and for the chance to roll up 2 rims you can purchase a medium, large or extra-large. The prizes, as mentioned earlier, are much better this year than in previous years – namely because there are essentially more prizes than there are Canadians! For the in-store competition, the big ticket prize is obviously the 2015 Toyota Camry, but I know from personal experience that there is nothing more rewarding than rolling up to discover that you will be getting a FREE donut with your morning coffee (then again, I have never won a 2015 Toyota Camry…).
The full list of prizes to be won in this year’s competition from Tim Hortons includes:
- 47 2015 Toyota Camry XSE 4 cylinder
- 94 LG OLED 55″ TV
- 23,620 prizes of $100 Canadian Tim Cards
- 48,203,747 Coffee & Food Prizes
- Coffee or Latte: $1.35 – $3.89 Canadian Value (choice of any size hot beverage)
- Donut at $0.95 – $2.05 Canadian Value (choice of any single muffin, cookie or donut)
- 94 $5,000 Visa Prepaid cards
The overall odds of winning at least a free coffee or donut in this year’s RRRoll Up the Rim are 1 in 6, while the odds of winning the car are about 1 in 6,277,259; so at the very least you will probably come away with a free coffee in the next two months (unless you are that lucky 1 in 6,277,259 odd!)
As is the standard for the RRRoll Up the Rim contest, there will be a skill testing question asked to claim your prize in addition to proof of your original ‘winning’ rim; that being said, for the coffee and food prizes at Tim Hortons, I have only ever been asked for the winning rim and no addition and/or subtraction question has been required to be answered (so this may just apply for the big ticket prizes).
Tim Hortons will be running the contest until April 2nd, 2015, and you must claim your prizes before May 8th at 11:59 PM ET (or closing of the store).
