Lancome Canada is having an online promo code that will make all you last minute shoppers breathe a sigh of relief, as they are offering free express shipping on all orders that exceed $75. This may seem like a lofty minimum to spend, but considering that most of the products on Lancome are already pretty expensive, and express-shipping would normally cost you an extra $10 this is a pretty good deal.

The code, XPRESS, will be valid until December 21st, which only makes sense since when you order with express shipping it guarantees your order will arrive within 1-4 business days.

And since you will already be spending more than $75 to qualify for the free express shipping code, you will also be able to qualify for the back-in-stock limited edition gifts from Lancome, which normally require you to spend $50.

The two gifts that you will be able to choose from will be the 7-piece gift, that you will have to enter the code, FESTIVE14, to claim. This set will include:

• Absolue Ultimate Night Replenishing serum (8ml)
• Blush Subtil in blushing tresor
• Bi-Facil eye make up remover (50ml)
• Definicils Precious Cells Fuller Lashes Regnerates
• La Base Pro Perfecting Makeup Primer (7ml)
• Absolue Night Premium Recovery Cream (15ml)

The second gift that you can pick from Lancome is the 5-piece gift, which you will have to enter the promo code, DEC14, to claim. It will include:

• Hypnose mini mascara
• Trésor eau de parfum 7.5ml
• Advanced Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate 8ml
• l’absolu Rouge mini
• and an exclusive Lancome make-up bag

These are limited edition gifts that have been restocked at Lancome while supplies lasts.

If you’re heading to Red Deer, Alberta anytime soon, even over the holidays, there is a 10% discount code you may be eligible for if you pick the right dates and use the Air Canada promo code: RedDeer1Year. This is a very specific code for a rather random flight route, but if you find yourself flying to Red Deer anytime soon, then this deal can really stand to benefit you.

As you can see from Google Flight tracker, an average flight to Red Deer, Alberta from Toronto (YHZ)-even in the middle of January- would cost on average as low as $705 all the way up to $958!

When you use the 10% saving code from Air Canada, you’ll see that I was able to get a flight at the same time, yet it only cost me $558.38 and the flights were all direct flights, unlike the $705 flight that the Google Flight tracker found which stops twice.

You must book your flight before December 16th to qualify for the promo code.

Groupon Canada is having a limited time coupon code, on top of their already reduced getaway packages, where you can take an extra 15% off on Groupon’s getaway packages, with a maximum savings of $50. All you need to do is enter the code, EXTRA15, at checkout. Since Groupon already offers the rates of these rooms at sometimes upwards of 75% off you could be getting some really great deals on these packages.

Be warned though, that not all of the days that they offer the  “43%-75%” discount on the room will be available, and in fact most of them will be about $20-$30 more expensive than the advertised price (at least that’s what I found). But if you are willing to dig a little, and aren’t too picky about your dates, then you could really find some good deals with this extra savings coupon.

For instance, I’ve always been curious about those ice hotels they have in Quebec and places in Europe, and what better way to spend a weekend getaway this winter than in an ice castle? Hotel de Glace in Quebec City is valued at $538 for a one-night stay, but in this Groupon you can get it for 46% off and pay only $289 for a couple. When you add on the 15% off, your total will then come to $245.65, which is $292.35 off the original price. Plus, this night away will include breakfast, 2 drinks, plus hot tub and sauna access.

Alternatively, if you wanted a two-night getaway you could head over to Niagara Falls and stay at the Embassy Suite, a four-star hotel that overlooks the falls. This trip was originally 63% off, as it was $298/night to start but is brought down by the Groupon to be $109/night.

After you apply your extra 15% off coupon to your order, Groupon will then only charge you $245.80 (plus taxes) for a two night stay at the Embassy Suites in Niagara Falls; a trip that ordinarily would’ve cost you $596 before taxes.

This promo code for Groupon is only valid for a limited time.

Amazon.ca has got you set up for any games you may want to purchase for your new consoles this year, both PS4 and Xbox One, as when you buy 2 or more from their list of selected games you will get 20% off your entire order. 

If you were one of the people fortunate enough to pick up the Xbox One console yesterday from the Microsoft Store-or any of the other vendors selling the bundle for $449- then you’ll know that games for these systems do not often come by very cheaply (which is probably where the retailers make most of their money).  That is why an offer like this really stands out, particularly because they are offering not only games for newer consoles, but also on hot games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One and Grand Theft Auto V for PS4.

I was able to get both Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Advanced War Fare for PS4 (both highly rated games) for only $111.16 (before taxes), which would’ve been $138.95. As you can see from this list, the games are only available in the Xbox One and PS4 format.

Amazon.ca will also be offering free-shipping on these items since they are above $25. You can add more games if you see more that you’d like to have, but remember you must have a minimum of two.

For all you Nintendo fans young and old, you should head on over to Toys R Us Canada tomorrow to take advantage of their one-day sale on Amiibo Figures which will be reduced to only 3 for $30, meaning each figurine will only cost you $10 each. This sale is only on figures that cost $13.99, meaning you will be saving $11.97 in this deal when you buy 3 of these figures (which would normally cost $41.97).

The pictured Amiibo characters will be included in the sale, and the only ones omitted from it will be:

• Villager,
• Marth,
• and the Wii Fit Trainer

You can try to price match this deal at Walmart Canada, but your safest bet will be to head over to Toys R Us – unless of course they are sold out of your desired Amiibo character.

Click here to check out this week’s flyer from Toys R Us Canada where the Amiibo 3 for $30 deal is featured.

Hungry for some Italian? Why not head over to your nearest East Side Marios restaurant and buy yourself a beverage, and you’ll get 50% off on any regular size pizza.

Considering you would probably be buying a beverage anyways if you were going to sit down and enjoy some cheesy, salty pizza this would be a really good deal – especially if you split this meal between two days (as a regular size pizza goes a pretty long way for one person!) The cost of a regular size pizza from East Side Marios ranges between $13.49-$15.49, meaning you could pay as little as $6.75 for a regular pizza.

The costs of the drink will range depending on what you’re getting, but if you go into East Side Marios between 11-3pm on a weekday then you can get any spirt drink, 5 oz. wine, or 16 oz. beer for only $5. Meaning you could get a whole regular sized pizza and glass of beer to wash it down for only $11.75. The only restrictions to this coupon is that it expires on December 21st, 2014 and you can only use it dining-in. It is also not valid within Niagara Falls or Newfoundland.

Also going on at East Side Marios, is the offer of a free $10 value card when you also purchase a $50 gift card to East Side Marios before December 23rd, 2014. What’s nice about the value card is that you have the option to use it at more than just East Side Marios. You can also use the card at:

• Swiss Chalet
• Milestones Grill and Bar
• Harveys
• Caseys
• Kelsey’s
• Montanas
• D’Arcy McGee’s
• Patty Flaherty’s
• Fionn MacCools
• and Bier Markt

This is probably the lowest that the Entertainment Book 2015 Edition has ever been, and will also probably be the lowest price they offer on it this year. Which is great, because it leaves you just enough time to buy one for yourself, and gift the second one as a Christmas present. Why you may ask would you get two? It would only make sense to get two Entertainment Book’s since they are currently being sold two for $35 on top of including FREE-shipping.

For the next two days only, when you buy two Entertainment Books you will only pay $35, which makes each book work out to costing you only $17.50. Considering that some editions cost upwards of $50, this is almost a third of the price you would normally pay. And since they will also be including free-shipping, you can have them delivered to your home in time for Christmas at no extra charge!

As you’ll know from our previous posts, the Entertainment Book is stacked with great discounts and coupons that you can use on both your smart phone and the cut-out coupons from the book itself. Even if you only use this book a couple of times (which I doubt you will) the purchase will more than pay for itself within your first few purchases.

Teavana Canada is once again having a Family and Friends event, but this time it’s just in time for the holidays! In this limited time event, which will be finishing on Sunday, December 14th, you can save 30% off on everything site wide. All you have to do is select your item(s), and then at the checkout enter your promo code, FFHOLIDAY, and the 30% will be deducted from your cart total.

What I found to be great was that you could use this Family and Friends discount on Teavana sale items, in some cases, have already been reduced to 50% off their original price. This adorable tangerine coloured scallop tea set is only $29.98, whereas before it was being sold for $59.96. Now with your 30% discount it will only be $20.99.

If you are able to combine your bag to a total of $50 or more, you will receive free-shipping, otherwise it will be an extra $4.75, making your order total for the teapot set $25.74. Considering you will be getting a 20 oz. teapot with a stainless steel strainer and four matching teacups, $25 is not a bad price to pay.

For the next 3 days, you can choose from one of seven membership options, where you will be savings 25% off on the regular price.

While FragranceX claims that their promo code for free worldwide shipping expires on December 9th, it is still live right now if you can catch it before it does expire. Simply enter the promo code, FSW, at the check out and your duty-free fragrance will ship for free to Canada, or anywhere else in the world you may be ordering from.

Plus, if this is your first time shopping with FragranceX you can enter your e-mail address and receive a limited time 72-hour coupon that will give you 10% off your order. For instance, I was able to grab my favourite Burberry Brit eau de toilette in a 50ml bottle for only $35.69. 

Burberry Brit normally sells at the Hudson’s Bay for $72 and on Amazon.ca for $47.99 in the same 50ml size. They’ve also got a wide selection of men’s cologne, skin care products (like Biotherm and Clinique) and women’s makeup.

Hush Puppies Canada has an extension on their employee discount offer of 60% off on all shoes and boots (just in time for the holidays!). All you have to do to qualify for this discount is enter the promo code, HPEMPLOYEEFREESHIP, and you’ll receive the 60% off plus get free shipping.

As a lot of you may already know, the Hudson’s Bay Canada also sells Hush Puppies and they are often discounted below the retailer’s own site, but I thought I’d do a comparison of some of the Bay’s top selling Hush Puppies and stack them up against the Hush Puppies selection with their employee discount to see what was cheaper.

These Jamie Kana Hush Puppies ankle boots are sold on the Hush Puppies site for $150, and on the Hudson’s Bay they are sold for $150 as well, but with the employee discount you can grab these booties for only $60.

I also saw these Lindy Chamber wide calf boots on the Hush Puppies site being sold for $230, which is the same price as the Hudson’s Bay, but they also had the extra option of buying them in either this dark chestnut brown or black. The Bay only gave you the option to choose from the plain black, and after the discount was applied to the boots they were only $92.

In addition to being lower priced and more selection than the Bay, Hush Puppies is offering free-shipping on all orders, whereas the Hudson’s Bay requires you to spend a minimum of $99.

Hush Puppies is offering this extension until December 15th, so you only have a few more days to take advantage of this deal!

J. Crew Canada will be giving both in-store shoppers and online shoppers the chance to save on some last minute Christmas goodies this week until December 15th, at 11:59pm EST where when you enter the code, GIVETHIS, at the check out you will be discounted 30% off.

The only catch that J. Crew has is that only the full-price items with the “30% off with code GIVETHIS” written beneath them will be applicable. Though some select sale items will also be included in the sale, they too will be advertised with “Extra 30% off with code GIVETHIS“.

This box pleat skirt in fiery red was originally being sold for $98 USD, but was on sale for $69.99 and then with your promo code of an extra 30% off it will only be $48.99; nearly 50% off the original retail value.

Or for the men, again within the sale section, you can find really nice dress shirts like this slim secret wash with embroidered white arrows, which is only $24.49 with your extra 30% off (though its retail value is $92.50!)

J. Crew will also be giving you free-shipping in this offer GIVETHIS, which will also finish up on December 15th at 11:59pm EST. But before you start doing your happy dance, you should know that J. Crew does not include the customs tax in the clothing price, so when you go through check out you will be docked an extra $10-$15 depending on your order size.
