Thank you Babystar.com for sponsoring day 4! If you did not win but are interested in their products click here to visit Babystar.com
It seems like some people are not happy about posting a video of the winner selection since it wastes their time or they can’t watch the video. Would you rather I just list the winners on here without a video?
Please let me know what you prefer and I’ll go with the decision of the majority 😀
Note that this contest will run until 4pm tomorrow.
Today’s sponsor is a wonderful baby products company dedicated to selling high quality organic baby clothing and shoes, BabyStar.com. The first thing that personally attracted my attention the minute I visited BabyStar.com was the elegancy of their website. The website design is very professional and sleek and it only makes you wonder how superb the clothing quality and customer service must be. Also all these gorgeous baby clothes make me want to have a baby one day 😛

About this Contest:
It’s here! SmartCanucks’ BIGGEST CONTEST GIVEAWAYS EVER! Every single weekday until 2010 I’ll be giving out atleast $100 worth of prizes daily!
After the success of the $10 daily contest giveaways we had earlier this year I decided to kick it up a notch… or ten… by giving out $100 daily instead! Of course I couldn’t afford that kind of money since I’m just a graduate student at Queen’s. So I decided to seek sponsors and I was surprised by the huge amount of interest I got. Many people were interested in sponsoring a contest day that we may end up going into January as well.
This contest is not your typical contest however! It’s fun fast and different! Here’s how it’ll work: Everyday we’ll have a contest and the winner(s) will be announced immediately the next day! There’s also another twist to this contest: You will win what you choose! To enter most contests you’ll need to leave a comment with a list of items you want to get! If you win you get these items for free.
You also have a good chance of winning since no person will be allowed to win more than 2 prizes throughout the span of the giveaways. This means that we’ll end up with loads of winners. Winners will be chosen randomly using random number generator.
You each win the T-Shirt you chose for free. Please email me with your mailing address. My email is alex @t smartcanucks d0t ca
Total number of SmartCanucks Winners so far: 9
Thank you TShirtMonster.ca for sponsoring yesterday’s contest. If you like the T-Shirt you chose and would like to buy it you can use coupon code SmartCanuck to get 15% discount 😀

This is Day 3 of the SmartCanucks giveaways and today we’ll be having 6 winners 😀
Today’s sponsor is Tshirtmonster.ca a small Canadian business originating from Oakville Ontario. My personal favouite feature in Tshirtmonster.ca is the ability to create and sell your OWN designs for the prices you choose! You can therefore make money and profit out of their website. If you’re a skilled designer that might be an awesome profitable mini-project for you.
SmartCanucks Giveaways Day 3: 6 people win a free T-Shirt each from Tshirtmonster.ca
Today we’ll be having 6 winners, each getting a free T-Shirt of their design choice from Tshirtmonster.ca. 3 Winners will be chosen from the blog comments as usual and 3 winners will be chosen from the Forum since a lot of members asked for some prizes on the forum too. Total value of all 6 T-Shirts is $100+.
How do I enter the contest?

The servers on which SmartCanucks run have been having major downtime issues today and especially the forum server. We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as possible and I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
On the bright side… I get to finally use Twitter’s Fail Whale 😉
*ticks one off his bucket list*
Pinecone is expanding again and offering new invites!
PineCone research is growing and we invite you to help! If you have ever told a friend about receiving $5 for doing surveys for PineCone Research, it is likely that they have asked, “How can I join?”
Now you can tell them how to become part of this elite group of households. We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household.
Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below. That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it. REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY REGISTER. Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations.
If you think you’ll qualify please feel free to email Smart Canucks sister site Dealcetera at [email protected] and an invite link will be emailed back to you!
I’m very proud to say this! I’m proud that the SmartCanucks Community, which might not be familiar to many blog readers, has some of the most wonderful, caring and compassionate people ever 😀
Did you know that many SmartCanucks members collect coupons, use them to buy products and donated to shelters around Thanksgiving, Christmas and other times of the year? We have had this as an ongoing activity on SmartCanucks and it puts a smile on my face every time I read about these little special acts of kindness 🙂
I’ll share with you some of the many beautiful contributions over the next few months starting with the most recent:
By: eriluo
As many of you know, I have been collecting stuff using coupons to make up shelter packs for the local women’s shelter in time for Thanksgiving.
Well, today, I finally finished them, as I picked up the last of the products I needed at Wal-mart’s Anniversary sale. I made 12 in all and I couldn’t have done this alone, as I’ve got a little help from my SC’r friends who have donated coupons towards my shelter stash. Thanks all
I called the shelter to let them know I will be deliverying them tomorrow and they were pleased to hear of my donation.
So, without further adieu, here is what is in them, what they look like and the rest of the details…
The finished bags – 12 in all!
A sample of the bags – these have two handles, a drawstring and are cloth mesh, so perfect to put damp toiletries in and hang up to dry out. What’s even better, they were only $1.00 ea. at the dollar store!
12 packs of Kotex pads
12 Cottonelle Travel Wipes
12 Toothbrushes
6 tubes of Arm & Hammer toothpastes
6 tubes of Crest toothpastes
9 cans of Satin Care Shave Gel
3 cans of Skintimate Shave Gel
12 Venus Razors
12 Dove Go Fresh Body Mists
12 Dove Go Fresh Beauty Bars
12 Herbal Essences 2 in 1 Shampoo Conditioner
12 Degree Deodorants
8 Dove Cream Oil Bodywash
4 Aveeno Bodywash
Finally, this is what one of the shelter packs looks like!
Feels good to be done, will feel better to deliver. I figure I probably spent about $10 a bag, but they are probably worth at least $40 each, so I am happy that I could contribute almost $500 worth of products to a worthwhile and deserving cause.
Thanks to Andit for coming up with this awesome idea! Andit created a contact card for us 😀
Inspired by her idea, I created a whole bunch of shopping related templates such as a Shopping List, Price book, member card and many more! I hope you like them!
Maroon Version
Less Ink-intense Version
If you’d like me to design other templates please let me know what template you’d like and I’ll work on it 😀

I thought I’d update you guys on what happened in regards to Walmart’s legal threat.
I emailed the lawyer with the letter we prepared (after changing it based on the feedback I got in the comments). I never heard back from them which I think is a good thing. Thank you everyone for your help and support. I think that everyone contacting Walmart Canada and letting them know that SmartCanucks is authentic significantly helped! Here’s a reply Kimable, a SmartCanucks reader, got from Walmart Canada when she emailed them:
Good morning,
We appreciate your concern and the opportunity to respond. The communication sent to Smartcanucks originated from an external law firm in the United States, as part of our global company’s effort to defend customers against the growing incidence of online fraud. Unfortunately, Walmart Canada did not have the opportunity to review the communication before it was sent. We believe it was overzealous. However, we continue to urge customers to be very cautious when assessing online offers bearing Walmart’s name
Regards
Debbie
Customer Relations Administrator
Once again, thank you everyone for your advice and support 😀
So I’m flipping through the October issue of Canadian Living looking for coupons (scan for coupons first, read later) when I see the word ‘coupons’. Upon closer examination I discover that it is an article entitled “Online Coupons” by Deena Waisberg. Hmm, I wonder to myself, what sites does she list? I scan the bolded text box on the bottom right hand side of the page, pretty much assuming it’d be save.ca and the like, and what do I see but – you know what’s coming here don’tcha??? http:smartcanucks.ca !!!!!!!!! Woohoo! That’s Us!! I mean I know it’s Boo Radley (did I mention you’re fantastic!) but collectively it’s us!!!! Right there in print on page 186 of Canadian Living – wooh Boo your name’s going to be in bright lights! (well, your user name anyway ;-p) Congrats SmartCanucks!!
First of all I’d like to thank Koala who took the time and effort to meet with the CTV crew and represent SmartCanucks in the wonderful way she did. I’m looking forward to seeing her interview this Thursday. More details from Koala:
Smart Canucks will be on Canada AM this Thursday July 9 @ 7:45 am EST
and will also air
Thursday July 9 on CTV @ 6 pm EST
( Pat Foran’s segment is usually about 6:20 pm EST)
He says there is a good possibility it will go NATIONAL and the west and east coasts may air this as well, so you will have to check your listings.
Also to add, if the response is good, there will be a follow up.
Here is a little more more info about Pat Foran
