Well ladies and gents this is my 500th blog post! It’s been a fun couple of years blogging for Smart Canucks and working with Boo.  We’ve become good friends over the past few years and I’ve loved the opportunity to bring great savings and freebies to fellow Canadians.

Walking down memory lane in my list of blogs I wanted to share a few (or recap) some of my favourite posts.

• Thrills Gum on the bottom of my shoe
• Socks With Sandals
• The dissapearance of Country Crock
• In Memory of Beastmaster
• The Grinch and his swinging parties
• Micheal Buble Contest
• Fake Potatoes
• Cardboard Towel Season
• Pook Toque

To celebrate my 500th post a lucky reader gets to buy me a COACH purse! Haha just kidding!  To celebrate one person thats left a comment will randomly be chosen to receive a $20 Amazon.ca e gift certificate. Winner will be announced sometime this Friday. Enter only once, Canada only, age of majority only, valid emails only.

Thanks for being a wonderful audience Canada! Heres to another 500!

Okay clearly we love Old Navy here at Smart Canucks … I mean their deals are just fabulous … but the one thing that was always missing was shipping to Canada.

And now coming in AUGUST they will finally be letting us Canadians purchase from their website!

I am ecstatic and really hoping for some fair and reasonable shipping & handling costs.

How about you?

Thanks missbobloblaw

You can now add No Frills to the list of stores that do price matching. What do you think about this move? Will it make you shop at No Frills more?

Thanks to couponlady for this very informative post!

McDonald’s in the United States first  recalled Shrek glasses and now Canadian McDonald’s have followed. The recall is because of the cadmium in the paint. No word yet as to if there will be a refund for the $1.99 that consumers paid for these limited edition glasses but it is best that you stop using yours right away. I was sorry to read this as I thought they would be great to collect.

Thanks to TaraF for first posting this information and to Lynn49 for adding the information on the Canadian recall.

Hi everyone!

I’m sorry I haven’t been blogging as much recently since I’ve had loads of school work to do but I should be done with school forever very soon and I’ll be able to dedicate way more time to SmartCanucks 😀

I already have some very exciting new stuff planned and ready for the blog. Expect loads of gifts and prizes, as well as new and interesting articles and more deals analysis! You should see major improvement to the blog over the next few weeks and we’ll be going full throttle heading into the fall.

I’m also looking for creative writers who can write  fun and entertaining articles (not necessarily about deals) and make the blog more entertaining and enjoyable to read. If you think you have the special skills to write appealing blog posts let me know. This is a paid position although it’s a very very minimal amount. You can reach me at smartcanucks [at] gmail d0t com. Let me know why you’d do a great job if you were to become a creative writer on SmartCanucks 😀

We are not going to dwell on the fact that I’ve lost some faith in humanity over the craze of these Twilight movies lol, but tonight is the release of New Moon Twilight. Stores like Blockbuster are staying open until 2am for all the vampires out there to be the first ones to pick up their copy of New Moon. While your in line for the release why not pop over to Toys R Us and pick up some Twilight dolls on sale, buy Jacob and get Edward or Bella half price! Made by Mattel. They look cute but I’m a bit dissapointed they don’t sparkle.

Will you be lining up tonight to get the movie? Or wait until daylight and buy it tommorow? Or perhaps you belong to the small united group that doesn’t care about Twilight. Either way comments are welcomed.

Well, the contest has come to a close! With just over 1000 entrants I’m pleased to announce the winners of the contest.

First Place Is an autographed copy of “Crazy Love” and a collection of his other Cds.

The winner is………………………

missbobloblaw! Congratulations!

Second and third place will receive a copy of Michael Buble’s latest Cd “Crazy Love”

“Great Contest” is our second place winner!

“Puddin57” is our third winner.

Winners please pm me your address on the forum, or email me at sally at smartcanucks dot ca.

I’d like to thank everyone who entered the contest! It was a great turnout, and I’m sorry everyone couldn’t win.

I can across this thread in the deals section and thought it was something that a lot of people would be interested in.  As of January 31, 2010 HBC will no longer be offering merchandise as a reward to redeem your points for.  They will continue to offer Gift Cards and Apple products for trade in.  The rewards book that was issued in May 2009 will expire on January 31 and products will only be available while quantities last.
