I think I’ve been spending way too much money on Steam’s splendid series of  game offers lately. Today Steam has a hot deal on Defense Grid: The Awakening for only $5 USD. I’ve never played this game before but skimming through the reviews it’s clearly well worth the 5 bucks.

This game actually reminds me of the Tower Defense Game which we have in SmartCanucks’ Arcade section. I’ve been holding the high score on there for over a year now and I challenge anyone to break it 😛

Marks Work Wearhouse Canada is having its Ladies Night on Thursday, May 7th , 2009 from 5pm until closing. Get 20% off everything store-wide including regular and sale priced items. No minimum purchase necessary. Discount not applicable to the purchase of Gift Cards, and cannot be used at www.marks.com online. Some stores open until 11pm so check your local store hours.

This Marks Work Wearhouse Canada Ladies Night deal may seem a bit boring. However I did some coupon digging and I think that we can spicen this deal up a lot if we can combine it with the current Marks Work Wearhouse Canada coupon. Mark’s has a coupon that offers:

• $10 off $50+
• $20 off $100+
• $30 off $150+

On the Ladies Night event page it does not say that you can’t combine it with coupons. However the coupon does say that it can’t be combined with any other offers. So my guess is that using the coupon will be a hit or miss. If however you can use the coupon too then this is definitely a hot deal!

So here are the 2 offers:

I don’t know why anyone would still want to buy a Nintendo Wii but if for some reason you do, here’s a decent deal on Nintendo Wii consoles at Future Shop. The Nintendo Wii Console is on sale this week at Future Shop for $249.99 (regular price $279.99). That’s $30 in savings and the first time ever that Future Shop has Nintendo Wii consoles on sale. You can choose to pick up the Nintendo Wii in-store and avoid paying for shipping.

I was looking for a picture to use for this post when I came across the different coloured Nintendo Wiis. I had seen this picture when the Wii was first announced a few years ago. I wonder what happened to that colour idea? Did Nintendo just give up on it? Please don’t tell me they’re still planning to release them because at this point it feels like they need a whole new console that has better online multi-player capabilities and graphics.

Bluenotes Canada 50% discount coupon code on already reduced and clearance items is back but I doubt it will last for long so hurry and use it immediately if you’re interested!!

They sent an email saying we can use save35 to get 35% off. I typed in save50 and it worked! I’m not sure if it’s a system error or if they have some kind of special promo for certain customers. Anyway, this is a brilliant deal.

Bluenotes Canada already has a summer sale and clearance up to 50% on loads of items online. Add the save50 coupon code and this is sizzling hot. Also remember that if you spend $75 or more you get free shipping.

This is so exciting I’m panicking right now! Please let us know if this works for you.

I like this M&M Meat Shops Canada Charity BBQ Day because it seems very genuine and straightforward! M&M Meat Shops are having their  Charity BBQ Day this Saturday May 9th, 2009. For a minimum donation of $2.5 you get a hamburger or a hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips. Best of all, unlike Pizza Pizza’s charity days, every single penny you pay for M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ goes to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC).  So don’t worry about paying more than the minimum $2.5 because your money is going to be used for a good cause.

Join us for Charity BBQ Day on Saturday, May 9th, 2009!

On May 9th, 2009, Canadians can help cook up a cure! Visit any of the more than 480 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada to support the 21st Annual M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day benefiting Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). M&M Meat Shops franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will grill hamburgers and hot dogs to meet the 2009 fundraising goal of $2.1 million.

Visit any M&M location across Canada to make your donation!

Every penny raised goes directly to the CCFC to fund research to help find the cause and cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

If you haven’t read this book or seen the movie, I strongly suggest you do! Read the book first if you can get your hands on it. Apparently it’s difficult to find. I was fortunate enough to find it at a used book store.

It’s the remarkable journey of a woman who entered every contest she possibly could in order to support her family (10 kids!). It was written by her daughter. Now, this was waaaay back before computers. The contests weren’t just a random draw, either, she had to write jingles and such. You can read the actual contest entries in the book.

If you ever feel you’ve hit a contest slump or an economic hardship, this book (or movie) is sure to pick you up. The movie shows all 10 “kids” at the end.

This is a true, inspirational tale!

Bill gets the free Blizzard

This offer has been around since 2006 but I like reminding my readers of it every summer 😀

Why? Because I’m evil and trying to get them to gain weight. Because Blizzards are one of God’s Mankind’s best inventions! Mmmmm! Join Dairy Queen’s Blizzard Fan Club and get 2 Blizzard treats for the price of 1. You’ll get a printable coupon in your email for this 2 for 1 deal twice:

• When you first sign-up
• Every year on your birthday

I probably shouldn’t be saying this since I know some of the folks at the Dairy Queen Canada headquarters read my blog but I have to admit I’ve signed up for the Dairy Queen Canada Fan Club several times more than I should have. I just couldn’t resist a 2 for 1 deal on one of my favourite treats 😉

That being said, I’d like to remind you guys that Blizzards are very high in calories, fats and cholesterol. A medium size Brownie Batter Blizzard for instance has:

Yep, that’s unfortunately very unhealthy and that’s only a medium Blizzard.  Thank goodness for gyms, yoga and bootcamps. The 2 for 1 deal is still awesome as long as you don’t eat both blizzards by yourself 😉

Hello! I’m a new blogging contributor to the site so I thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Kerri and I’ve been a member of the site for some time now. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to post here on a fairly regular basis.

Who am I? Well, I’m sort of a serial contester. Apparently it was destined to happen. My mom told me that she won a bunch of stuff from Sears for guessing my correct birth date. I don’t remember the first contest I entered or won but recall that my indulgence began around the age of 12 when I started winning radio call-in contests fairly consistently. I became addicted to that lightning-like charge that surged through me when I hung up the phone after winning. Funny how it still happens when I win stuff today! 🙂

I’ve got spring fever now with all the newness! I LOVE it!

Feel free to follow me on Twitter if you like @kerrilw.

I first came across this deal a couple of days ago on Pizza Pizza’s automated specials and deals voice system. It was around 7pm when I was placing my order and I was too hungry to wait for 2 more hours and get this hot deal 😛

Pizza Pizza’s new special is as follows: Order any large 3 toppings pizza between 9pm and 9am and get it for $9.99.  That’s over $5 in savings and definitely a hot deal. The closest good deal I can think of is their 2 large pizzas for $21.99 (I think) last Christmas. Just remember it’s after 9pm at night and before 9am in the morning. Not exactly the best times to be eating pizza but hey, that’s an awesome deal for these wild Friday night parties 😉

I was shopping at the mall yesterday when I noticed American Eagle Outfitters had an additional 20% on  all clearance items. All Polos are already marked down to 50% off from $40 to $20. On top of that I got an addition 20% which discounted it further to around $16! An exceptional price for great polo shirts. I ended up spending over $100 at American Eagle 😛

I checked out American Eagle Canada’s website today and this looks like a national deal at all AE stores in Canada. I’m not sure how long it’ll last for, so if you’re interested visit your local American Eagle AE Canada store asap 😉

This is great news! You can now buy the Sony PlayStation 3 Console online at Staples.ca. Do you know what this means? Savings! Staples emails and mails out loads of discount coupons like $50 off $200, $20 off $150 and so on and sometimes these coupons can be stackable!

Furthermore, if the price of the PlayStation 3 is lower at say Walmart or Best Buy Canada or is on a weekly promo somewhere, you can price match with Staples online, get a 10% rebate on the price difference and then apply the coupons on top of all that to get yourself a great deal.

I used to be an expert in Staples coupons a few years ago but since blogging on SmartCanucks I haven’t been actively following what coupons Staples has nowadays. I’m also not sure which coupons can and can’t be stacked so if you have any information please let us know.

Thanks thegeek for posting the Costco Canada Summer Savings Coupon Book in Canadian Shopping Deals and Flyers.

Costco Canada’s Summer Savings Coupons Book is out with loads of discounts and deals. Instead of listing the coupons here I’ll point you to the thread with the coupon scans 😉

HBC Home Outfitters Canada has a promo on Dyson vacuums: purchase any full size Dyson Canister vacuum and receive 1 million HBC Rewards points. These points are worth a $125 Home Outfitters Gift Card. The Dyson models included in this promo are Dyson DC20, DC21, DC23 & DC23 Animal with prices ranging from $499.99 to $749.99.

I personally have no experience with Dyson vacuums but starting at $499.99 they seem very pricey! Even after 1 million HBC rewards points! So I guess this deal would be good if you were planning on buying a Dyson vacuum anyway. Dysons are known to be particularly good if you have pets and family members with allergies.  Looking at the Dyson prices at Home Outfitters I can see they’re a bit inflated so it’s probably a good idea to compare prices to other  stores and make sure you’re getting the best deal.

Everything Dyson produces seems to be pretty pricey in general. Their Dyson Airblades which  are supposed to eventually replace the classical energy guzzling  hand-dryers in public washrooms cost around $1500 each. Dyson Airblades use some pretty neat technology stolen from similar to the Japanese Mitsubishi Jet Towel.
