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!

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

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.

Well everyone, the New Year is upon us, in less then 10 hours (Ontario time) we will be in 2010.   A time for new resolutions and a fresh start of a New Year.

Do you make New Years resolutions? What kind of resolutions do us Smart Canucker’s make? Save more money? Use more coupons?

I personally don’t generally make resolutions. Last year I quit smoking the 3rd week of January, not a New Years resolution, just something I needed to do. Maybe this year I’ll work at losing the weight I gained from quitting lol!

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening tonight whether it be with friends, family or a quiet evening in. Please do not drink and drive, arrive alive.

Happy New Years from the Smart Canucks team! See you in 2010!

This year I’ll be covering the Boxing Day (week) deals and flyers like never before! SmartCanucks will be your best source of all Boxing Day flyers and you’ll get to read the flyers in advance so that you can plan your shopping trip that day.

I invite everyone to participate by submitting any flyers they have advance access to. You’ll win immediate gift cards and prizes. No contests or draws… straight forward gift cards.

How can I pay for this? Well I have a few Google Ads placed around the website and I use the money I make from advertising to pay for prizes like these.

Thanks to ClearlyContacts.ca for sponsoring yesterday’s daily giveaway 😀

If you didn’t win here are some ClearlyContacts.ca coupon codes for December 2009 that you might be interested in using:

• Clearly Contacts Coupon code 1: SMARTFESTIVE
• Discount: 10%, no minimum, everyone

• Clearly Contacts Coupon code 1: SMARTHOLIDAYS
• Discount: 25% Off Eyeglasses, no minimum, new customers

Today’s sponsor is one of our favourite retailers, ClearlyContacts.ca 😀

ClearlyContacts carriers all kinds of original designer frames for amazing prices. Clearly Contacts also sells contact lenses and other eye related products such as sunglasses and accessories. I think ClearlyContacts’ business strategy is very simple and successful! Instead of renting stores at malls and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on brick and mortar stores, they stick to an online business model and transfer the savings onto us, the customers 😉

Enough of my chit chatter and I’ll let the website and products talk for themselves.
