Where do you do this week’s grocery shopping? If you live in Ontario the answer is definitely Food Basics. They’re celebrating their 11th anniversary and are having one of their best sales this year. Loads of items are reduced to $1. These include 2L bottle of Coke, Humpty Dumpy, Gatorde, Beaver peanuts, Michelina’s mac and cheese, McCain fries, Aylmer Ketchup, Kraft Mayo and many many more.

Shoppers Drug Mart has 50% off Swiss Herbals Vitamins or Natural Health Products. Swiss Herbals is a well known brand with high quality products and vitamins are essential part of life so basically this is a hot deal!

Personally, I’m not a big fan of sea food. I don’t eat lobsters, shrimp or any “strange” looking sea creatures. However, if you’re a shrimp lover, this special offer from Red Lobster is for you:

It’s a shrimp lover’s favourite time of year.
It’s 30 Shrimp at Red Lobster.

That means you can mix and match two preparations like decadent Shrimp Pasta, crunchy Fried Shrimp, classic Popcorn Shrimp or succulent Garlic Shrimp. Or savour a new favourite, Cajun Shrimp. All for only $14.99.

Crave more than 30?
Choose three of your favourites to make 45 Shrimp for only $18.50.
Get more information about this special offer from Red Lobster’s Website here.

It seems like this Sunday only (April 23rd) Shoppers Drug Mart is selling Kraft Dinner, 3 for $1.00! This deal is in Nova Scotia Shoppers Drug Mart Flyer. However, I think it’ll be in Shopper Drug Mart’s Ontario flyer too, but I can’t get my hands on next week’s flyer yet. I love Mac and Cheese and 3 for $1 is a scorching hot deal. I’ll let you know once I know for sure.

Have you ever been shopping when you find an item, read its displayed price and decide to buy that item but then when you checkout the cashier scans it for a different price? a much higher price? Yes it happens to all of us and the cashier does one of two things… either apologizes for the wrong price and says he/she’ll charge you the lower displayed price or the cashier just acts like a total %$# and says the display price is wrong.

Well in both cases believe it or not, many well known stores in Canada should give you the item for FREE! Many chains are members in Canada’s Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code.

How does the code work?
If the scanned price of an non-price ticketed item is higher than the shelf price or any other displayed price, the customer is entitled to receive the item free, up to a $10 maximum. When the item has a price tagged, the lowest price applies. When identical items are incorrectly priced, the second one will be sold at the correct price. Under this code you are eligible

What does the code cover?
The Code covers all scanned merchandise at participating retail outlets where the “Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code” sign is displayed at the store entrance or checkout. Note that you’ve probably seen this sign before but never knew what it is. A&P have it posted on every checkout isle.

What happens if two or more identical non-price ticketed items are incorrectly scanned?
Customers are entitled to the first item free (up to a maximum of $10) and the subsequent item(s) at the correct price.

Which stores participate in this code?
Here’s a rough list of participating stores. Please feel free to notify of additions/deletions to this list:

the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores (CACDS)
Shoppers Drug Mart
The Groupe Jean Coutu (NB and Ont only)

Amazon.ca has The Da Vinci Code novel on sale for $5.49 (50% off). Unfortunately shipping is free if you spend $39.99 or more. So if you were planning on buying something else from Amazon you might as well add The Da Vinci Code, otherwise, it’s not really a great deal.

You can order this book from Amazon.ca here.

When you’re suffering from diarrhea, Imodium is like a precious cure that can really help you get on with your day. The good news is that you can save $2 on your next Imodium purchase.

Easter is over, but this only means that bunnies and eggs are going to be on clearance at Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharma Plus, Zellers, Walmart, etc.

I tried finding the best deals out there:

I went to Shoppers Drug Mart today and they had the Cadbury Eggs (Crème, Peanut Butter and WonderBar eggs) reduced to 59 cents (regular is 99 cents). I’m not sure if this is at all Shoppers Drug Mart branches but from the way it’s priced I can almost 99% guess that it’s on sale at all (or at least Ontario) Shoppers Drug Marts.

Lindt Gold Bunnies are on sale for $1.96 (save $4.00) at Pharma Plus. This offer is in the weekly Pharma Plus flyer.

If you can’t find the Lindt Gold Bunnies at Pharma Plus, Zellers also had them on sale for $2.49 and Staples is expected to reduce them to $2.97.

I also suggest you checkout your local Wal-mart and other grocery stores. The sooner you go the better. By Wednesday, most Easter chocolate will be gone so hurry.

You can now download the new msn messenger beta (without an inviation). Basically go to Microsoft’s Live website here, click on Windows Live Messenger beta and then click on sign up and follow instructions.

Victoria’s Secret Online is having a clearance sale of up to 70%. You can find some really good bargains. Check out Victoria’s Secret clearance here.

Note however that these prices are in US Dollars and also don’t forget that Customs and Revenue Canada may charge duties and taxes.
