On those cold, chilly days that make you feel like the sun will never shine and shorts will never break out of their hibernation, you should check the temperature to see if you can possibly qualify for a half off hot chocolate from Second Cup Canada as they are currently offering this on certain days – depending on your location and the corresponding temperature.

If the temperature drops below minus 10 degrees Celsius in Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Ottawa you can claim your half off hot chocolate. For Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince George the temperature must drop below minus 5 degrees, and for the rest of British Columbia it must drop below 0 degrees.

J. Crew Factory Canada is offering a short but sweet promo code offer today that will give you 30% off on full priced merchandise, but even better, will give you an extra 40% off  on the clearance items. The promo code is, HELLO, and will also secure you free-shipping, which for us Canadians makes this deal even more worthwhile since J. Crew ships from the States and in addition to shipping fees, we almost always have to pay duty fees on top of that (which J. Crew includes in your final ticket price so there will be no at the door delivery fees!).

This promo code will expire on J. Crew Canada at 11:59pm EST tonight, and I would advise shopping through the clearance section where you will be able to get merchandise for almost 60% off the original retail price.

I was able to piece together this cute office number for just $58.78 USD with the extra 40% off promo code (approximately $69.55 Canadian), as the Factory Leather Patch Charley Sweater was just $25.79 USD (valued at $88 USD) and the Factory Petite Pencil Skirt in Metallic Tweed was just $32.99 (valued at $112). This entire outfit was then previously valued to be worth $200 USD (or rather, $236.66 Canadian), but with your promo code you’ll be saving $166.81.

The reason I mention the prices in US is because J. Crew only lists the prices in this currency, though you can (and should!) switch it to the Canadian setting. Be sure that when you are reading the prices you keep this in mind, and perhaps keep a Google converter open so that you can see the actual prices.

This is a super hot offer from Groupon Canada where you can spend only $20 and in return, you will get a full date night covered (snacks and all!) at the Rainbow Cinemas & Magic Lantern Theatres. When you buy this Groupon, you will have a $40 package value that will include:

• Movie admission for two
• One large popcorn (170 oz.)
• Two medium drinks
• Two candy selections

There is a limit of 10 Groupon per person, but you can give this as a gift to an additional 10 people. If you were able to coordinate, you and your friends could arrange to have your movies covered for half the price for the next couple of months as each Groupon is good for two general admission tickets.

And while January and February aren’t the greatest months for new movie releases, Rainbow Cinemas & Magic Lantern Theatres often releases indie films that don’t make it to the bigger box Cineplex theatres. For instance, next month at the Carlton Cinema in Toronto, they will be releasing Spike Lee’s newest thriller, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (February 13th), and the informative documentary No Evidence of Disease (February 4th).

This Groupon will expire on March 12th, 2015 and you will only have until Thursday to purchase it.

On-the-go Monday mornings usually mean forgetting your keys at home along with every other important (and necessary) attachment that will get you through the first day of your busy week at work. This early morning rush also usually leads to skipped meals, especially breakfast.

Balance Bars are the perfect answer to your busy lifestyle and will keep you full and energized to take on the busy work week ahead, but will also help to keep your healthy lifestyle balanced. The dieticians who created Balance Bars had the nutrition values modelled around the 40-30-30 rule, which promotes slow glycemic response ultimately keeping your blood sugar levels within a normal range throughout the day. Plus, with a vast range of flavours to choose from, you can stock your desk drawer and gym bag with a whole host of these little bars to ensure you never get tired of them.

If you head on over to GoCoupons.ca you can print off a coupon that will give you these morning risers for $1 off the retail price for either 2 singles or 1 value pack. A value pack of Balance Bars typically contains 6 bars and will cost you about $14.

This coupon from GoCoupons.ca will be mailed to your home when you order that $1 off Balance Bars coupon, and you will have the choice of any flavour.

Forever 21 Canada is offering a promo code that will save you an extra 50% off on already reduced merchandise, when you enter EXTRA50 at the checkout. This will, in some cases, make the prices drop as low as 60% off their original retail value. Not only are the prices that are being offered in this promo insane, but the selection and quality within the sale stock is also still quite relevant for the season.

This offer will be available at Forever 21 for a limited time, but the availability in certain sizes and styles will not last for long – as I was already finding it difficult to snag my size in a couple of cute items that had just recently been added to the sale. However, if you do search, I guarantee you will find something to give your winter wardrobe a much needed awakening. 

For instance, I was able to find these cuffed pocket woven pants for just $12.49 (regularly $27.90) and combined it with this Raglan turtleneck, only $7 (was $15.90), making my outfit total only $19.49. This is a casual and chic look that could be dressed up with some accessories, like a statement necklace or chandelier earrings, or even suede pumps if you were looking for filler pieces to meet the $60 minimum for free-shipping. Otherwise, shipping and handling will be $8.95.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Canada has reduced the prices on their best-selling make up pieces by up to 50%, making some of the products to cost just $2! In addition to the massive sale they’re having on these top selling beauty products, e.l.f. will also throw in a free Marsala makeup collection when you spend over $25 and enter the promo code, MARSALA, at the checkout.

The Marsala Collection freebie, valued at $21, from e.l.f. will be available until January 18th, 2015 and the full set will include the following:

• a Studio Blush Palette in Dark
• a Mineral Natural Volumizing Mascara
• a Studio Matte Lip Color in Rich Red
• a Studio Blush Brush
• an Essential Glitter Nail Polish in Love Me
• an Essential Brightening Eye Color in Luxe
• and an Essential Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart

If you’re needing some inspiration on how to meet this $25 minimum, then I’d suggest shopping through the 50% off best-sellers collection. The e.l.f. Studio Blush Palette is only $6, and if you were to combine it with the e.l.f. Studio 144-Piece Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette, which is now only $15 (was $30) you would only need to spend $4 more to qualify for your Marsala freebie.

There are several $5 and under options to choose from throughout the site, even within the best-sellers collection like the e.l.f. Mineral Pressed Mineral Bronzer ($5), the e.l.f. Mineral Blush ($5), e.l.f. Studio Moisturizing Lipstick ($3) and much much more!

Gap Canada, Banana Republic and Old Navy Canada are having one of those great combined promo codes online today until January 12th where you can use one code for each site, and it will give you a different percentage off depending on the retailer. For Gap Canada, when you enter this promo code, COLD, at checkout you will receive 35% off your total order, 40% off when you use it at Banana Republic Canada, and 30% off Old Navy.

At Gap, they’ve got some really nice pieces that have been recently added to the sale (and that you can still apply your 35% promo code to), like this beautiful tank fit and flare blue floral dress which is now just $61.99, but with your discount it will only $40.29 (was $99.95).

What I really love about these combo promo codes is that you can apply it to your entire order, and also that Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy always combine your shopping bags so that you can shop the other sites to find filler items should you not be able to meet the $50 minimum for free-shipping. When browsing through the Banana Republic sale items I was able to find this men’s waffle-knit crew pullover for just $28.99 (was $50). When I then added it to the bag with the floral dress from Gap, the same promo code was applied automatically to the pullover to reduce it to just being $17.39.

I’d suggest shopping through all the sites to meet the minimum of $50, since shipping and handling will tack on an extra $6 and with the option to use the same promo code for all three sites it would be wise to mix and match as much as possible!

La Parisienne Canada is offering some amazing coupon deals to save on your home cleaning products, whether it be dish detergent or laundry pods, they’ve got you covered. I always find cleaning products, especially laundry detergent, are the hot ticket items that seem to make my grocery bill go from being a comfortable and reasonable price to tipping the scales to be uncomfortably expensive. Any way that this can be reduced therefore, is good news to me.

All of the La Parisienne coupons will expire on March 10th, 2015, so you still have a couple of months to use them to stock up on your household necessities. The deals being offered include:

• save $0.75 on the purchase of any La Parisienne Laundry Detergent
• save $1 off on the purchase of a package of 26 La Parisienne Laundry Detergent Tabs
• save $0.50 on the purchase of a La Parisienne dishwashing liquid (740ml)
• save $0.75 on the purchase of a La Parisienne fabric softener 1.65L, 2.97L or 80 sheets

All of these coupons are limited by La Parisienne to be used once per purchase, and you should check with the retailers prior to buying your items as they do have the right to refuse your coupons.

While the temperatures may be dipping well below zero, that doesn’t mean that our friend Mr. Sun can’t poke his friendly UV rays through the overcast sky to damage the only exposed part of our bodies: our faces. The current coupon offer from Coppertone Canada, where you can take $1 off on any Coppertone product, is one that could be utilized year-round. Though most of us may only think to lather up when the UV Index is above 7, there are still harmful UV rays that penetrate through the O-zone layer in the winter that can, and will, damage your skin.

This Coppertone coupon, should you wish to redeem it, can be used year round, so when the hotter months do approach you can continue to print out this coupon which will only expire on December 31, 2015.

La Vie En Rose Canada has a special coupon on this weekend where you can save an additional 30% off on all sale merchandise when you shop in-store at either La Vie En Rose or La Vie En Rose Aqua boutiques until January 11th, 2015.

You will not be able to use this coupon online at La Vie En Rose, so the selection on merchandise will vary depending upon which store you are shopping at. To redeem this coupon, you must either print it out, show the email for which you received this offer, or show it on your mobile device when paying for your product.

I browsed through some of the sale bras to get an idea of what kind of sales are going on currently at La Vie En Rose, not guaranteeing that these specific styles will be in stock, but to give you a ball park as to what this extra 30% off really means. For instance, this Eve Push-Up Bra was on sale for just $19.99 from the original price of $39.95, but if you were able to pick it up in-store you could pay just $14; which is a total savings from the retail price of over 60% off.

Also worth checking out at La Vie En Rose during the extra 30% off sale merchandise promo, is the swimwear collection, especially for those of you planning mid-winter getaways down south. This Exotic Glam D+ Top will also only be $14 after the extra 30% has been applied with your savings coupon, though it was originally being sold for $49.95.
