I’m Bumping this thread up since over the past year many people have shared loads of useful comments and tips. Check out the comments on this post.

Not only does Dollarama sell $1 pregnancy tests; you can get a lot of unexpected and high quality items for that price. Last year I bought golf clubs for $1 (they still had $20 price tags from the store they used to be sold at). Currently some of the good deals include a Belkin FastCat 5 Snagless Patch Cable 7″ for $1.

Have you come across any hot dollar deals at Dollarama? Please let us know by leaving a comment.

Thanks to the person who suggested this deal (without leaving their name). Dollarama stores now sell Maybelline XXL Mascara for $2. Considering that its regular price at Shoppers Drug Mart is $10, this is a hot deal.

Just in time for Christmas shopping!  Amazon Canada has a BOGO event going on from November 8-14 on Imagine and Petz games for the Wii and Nintendo DS.  Who doesn’t love 2 for the price of one on video games?!  The discount will be taken off during checkout (the free game will be the cheaper one).  There are games ranging from $19.99 to $35.99 to choose from.  And remember, you can get free shipping on orders over $39.

It’s that time again, Gap Inc Friends and Family event, this time it’s on Nov 12-15!!! You get 30% off everything, excluding gift cards and 5% of your purchase will be donated to charity.

Since it is Gap Inc, that means this discount can be used at Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. Which can be very dangerous on my wallet. You need the invite, which is reusable, to get the discount, so be sure to get on these stores’ mailing lists (the Canadian ones of course) or get your invite from a Gap Inc employee.

Thanks to Nat for sharing this deal with us!

Please note: This is good for multiple uses! So go on and share it with everyone!

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.

And without further ado here is the amazing baby deals list put together for us by couponlady!  Please keep in mind that prices may differ depending on where in the country you are.

Rogers wants to thank you for being a loyal customer. The 3rd Aunual Rogers Appreciation Event is back!!! Enter your Rogers cell phone number and pick a gift. You could win 1 of 5 Grand Prizes or 1 of over 1,000 other Major Prizes.

Off the Wall is taking 30% off everything in their stores from now until November 8!  They have really cool items and usually a few things that are very different then you’ll find anywhere else.  They tend to be a bit expensive so the 30% will be a bit help.  Also because the 30% is off everything the sale items should be well priced. 

They also have some things on sale right now, such as: Buy One Jean Get One 50% off, All Song Pocket Skirts $19.99.
