While news broke out all over the place today about Hostess filing for bankruptcy this does not effect the Canadian Hostess.  They are separate entities.  This is great news for us Canadians as Hostess (ie Wonderbread) employs a lot of  people here.  Hopefully the US chapter will be able to restructure and get back on its feet. 

Speaking of Hostess, does anyone actually eat Twinkies anymore?

Eddie Bauer is having an outerwear sale.  They have jackets and vests for men and women on sale for up to 60% off.  I would assume that this sale is going on in store as well as online, but I couldn’t find anything that told me for sure.  Also, if you sign up for their emails you will get a code for another 15% your purchase.  Not too shabby.

Thanks to couponlady for posting this sale.

@Abercrombie

Winter is still here and we’re actually suppose to get some winter like temperatures next week (in my next of the woods anyways).  So what’s better than a new warm sweater?  A nice warm sweater that’s 70% off!  Abercrombie is having a sweater sale both in store and online for a limited time.

@GapCanadaPR
The Gap is holding an afternoon pick-me-up, offering 30% off regular priced items. The sale is today only, from 12pm to 6pm but I’m not sure what time zone that applies to (I’m in EDT, so assume that?). This sale is online only and you need to enter code GAPCFLASH at checkout.

When you make a purchase from American Apparel’s online store, from January 10th – 12th, use the promo code CAFF30GOL7109LY to save 30%! Free shipping applies to orders of $75+.

Happy Shopping! 🙂

Swiss Chalet has a promotion going on right now where you can get a cup of soup and your choice of dessert for $3.99 with the purchase of an entrée $7.99+. Dessert is either pie or cake, lemon meringue and Chalet chicken noodle (not sure what the other flavours of soups are) were pictured. Order yours online here.

I love Swiss Chalet, although I haven’t been since my kids were born as it is hard taking two kids under 2 to a sit down restaurant.

@ShopprsDrugMart

Here’s an advanced heads up on the next gift card promotion at Shoppers Drug Mart.  This coming weekend (Jan 14 & 15) when you spend $50 or more you will get  a $10 Tim Hortons gift card.  I love getting free stuff for purchases I would have made anyways.

Thanks to both Saving Moola and carriez14 for posting this promotion and the up coming Shoppers flyer for us.

More savings coming your way from American Eagle.  Print this coupon and take it into you nearest American Eagle and you will get $10 off a purchase of $35 or more.  With all the clearance they have right now this coupon is awesome.  This coupon is valid until January 15.  Happy shopping!

When you like Nestle Nesquik’s Facebook page you can print a coupon for a $1.00 off any Nesquik product when you buy 4L of Milk products (I think they wrote ‘product’ to possibly include soy beverages and milk alternatives).

I don’t drink Nesquik myself, more of an Ovaltine girl but I have saw it as low as $0.50 just while browsing at the grocery store lately. So if you’re lucky you may be able to score free Nesquik with your milk.

Have you seen this program?  While it isn’t new, it’s  “new to me.”  Yes the man on this episode was over the top, he did have some good tips.  Sharpening your razors on a matchstick box, what a great idea!  Asking people if you can have their leftovers when you go out, not only a bad idea BUT dangerous. (ie diseases)  Rescuing animals, great idea! Going to random restaurants asking for ketchup packets, kinda embarassing….

Sometimes being frugal is great, but for a lot of us theres a fine line we don’t cross.  Reusing rags as toilet paper, it’s not for me.  BUT it’s not that far off of washable diapers, it’s all ones comfort level.

Do you have any frugal tips to save money  that don’t cross the “extreme”  line to share?
