Danone is running an offer where they’d like to you to help chose the new flavour for their Activia Desserts Yogurt line and in turn you get a coupon for $1.00 off through save.ca. You can choose from Carmelized Pear, Angel Cake, and Caramel Apple Pie. They all sound super yummy.

After you vote and get your coupon you also have the option to enter a contest to be featured on a billboard in Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver (or all three) or their web banners online. All you have to do is upload a picture of yourself along with your name, province/territory and favourite new flavour.

I’ve tried the strawberry dessert flavour  they already have out, with the last $1.00 any Activia and it is really tasty.

I’m not much of a gadget person, but I know that many of you are so this may be of interest to all you tekkies!

Last week, HP announced that they are discontinuing their tablets. So after this news broke, electronics retailers have begun to sell off their remaining HP Touchpads at the major discount price of $99.99 for the 16GB model which retailed for $449.99! With the 32GB model selling for $149.99.

But there’s a catch: The units are hard to come by since prices have been dramatically slashed. Most retail places are already sold out of them. 🙂 Have you managed to get your hands on one?

First things first, I’d like to apologize for slacking on this. In May I announced Watergirl73 as the member of the month but between my vacation and kidney issues, May passed. I’d like to officially Congratulate Watergirl73  once again.  I am still accepting sumbissions so please do revisit this blog and send me your nomination.

Heres a bit of background on Watergirl73

In 2009 watergirl and her husband purchased their new home with only an air mattress and the clothes on their backs. It seemed like the house would not be a home for a long time….

“One day while surfing Kijiji I came across an ad about coupons and answered it. Then I met up with a great girl that had ahuge binder in tow who told me aboout Sc! The more Ilearned about couponing the more time I spent looking for great deals on kijiji and SC. This is how I managed to furnish my entire home and a stockpile of everyday items!”

Watergirl73 has contributed to our forum genuinely. Her motto is “It’s not how much money you make; it’s how you spend it.”

Here is her thread on how she furnished her home with Kijiji

Congratulations once again Watergirl73!
