I just got a newsletter update from Chapters telling me about their 8 Day Canadian Icon Book Sale.  They have 8 books by great Canadian authors on for $8 each from November 18-25 (or while supplies last).  The books range from 73%-77% off the cover price and all of them are 5 star rated books at Chapters. 

The books you have to choose from are:

• The Book of Secrets by M.G. Vassanji
• No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod

Today’s contest is for the ladies only! Sorry gents! LaviniaLingerie.com is sponsoring the contest.

Before I introduce LaviniaLingerie.com I have an interesting story… I usually ask each contest sponsor to provide me with pictures that I can use for the contest. When I got the pictures from the LaviniaLingerie folks I was . The pictures are awesome but at least one of them is not very suitable for the blog. I thought I’d share them with you anyhow since they do showcase their products (may be nsfw): pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5.

So as you can see LaviniaLingerie.com brings beautifully-made, uniquely-styled lingerie and activewear to its customers. It’s a family-owned business that was founded in 2002 and is based in NYC. It appears that their product prices are very reasonable and cheaper than most Lingerie stores.

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.

For those of you who haven’t noticed yet, Chapters online has a new section call shortcovers and it is full of ebooks.  Ebooks have become more popular now that there are ebook readers and cell phones that will allow you to read them.  As a way to promote this section of their website, Chapters has an offer on right now that will allow you to download a free ebook of your choice (from a selected list) or choose any ebook for 33% off with coupon code Nov33 at checkout.  If you’ve never read an ebook this is a good time to give it a try.

I’ve started doing is ordering along with a friend or two.  That way we all get cheaper shipping on all our online shopping.  This was another of the great tips I picked up on SmartCanucks.

This Saturday (November 21) will be a 20x Optimum points event on all general merchandise at Shoppers Drug Mart.  This is a great time to try and maximize the number of points you have for the next bonus redemption day which should be sometime soon, seeing as they usually do one before Christmas.  I still have a long way to go before I’m ready for a bonus redemption day so this event is going to be great for me.  Don’t forget to buy an SDM gift card to use first so you can double the number of Optimum points you get!!

Thanks to tripsplanner for keeping us up to date with the events at Shoppers Drug Mart!
