For those of us who have difficultly seeing objects both near and far away, the troublesome task of finding a suitable pair of bi-focals in addition to purchasing a pair of reading glasses can be quite a hassle and expense. For those of us who are are on the fence about whether or not we should make the switch from readers to multi-focal contact lenses, there is a free-trial offer running right now with Bausch & Lomb Canada where you can sign-up to receive a free pair.

When making such a sudden change to your lifestyle, especially one that can be quite expensive, it’s nice to have the option of a free-trial. This is why this offer from Bausch and Lomb is so desirable as it allows you to test drive multi-contact lenses before investing in a full package.

This offer will only be available for a limited time, and you will have to fill out your information here in order to receive your trial pair from Bausch and Lomb.

Starbucks Canada wants you to wake up feeling full and energized to start off your weekend, and to help you with this task they are offering certain members the exclusive offer of a FREE breakfast sandwich on either February 6th or 7th. To redeem this offer, you will have to first off been sent an e-mail alerting you that you will qualify for this offer (as most offers are catered specifically to each member). You will then have to pay for your breakfast sandwich using your registered Starbucks card, after which the barista will punch in a code that will automatically deduct the sandwich from your total.

While not everyone will have received this offer from Starbucks Rewards (perhaps they’re saving another special freebie for you?), this is a great opportunity to test out one of the breakfast sandwiches you have always been tempted to try, but have been hesitant of dropping $4+ on without knowing whether you’d like it or not. Having tried a couple of these myself, I’d recommend checking out the rustic bacon (because, c’mon, bacon) or the spinach and feta wrap if you’re a vegetarian and/or don’t like meat.

Starbucks is also selling their whole bean coffee for 25% off this weekend when you shop in-store until February 8th.

East Side Mario’s Canada has delivered their coupons just in time for Valentine’s Day lovers to make their reservations and plan ahead on how they’re going to make the most of the big day. While these coupons for this week’s edition will only be valid from Sunday through till Thursday, if the person you planned on spending February 14th with is working or unavailable for some other reason, you could celebrate a little earlier and use these coupons while doing so to save yourself some money!

The first coupon is a buy one pizza, get your second pizza 50% off coupon when you purchase two beverages (which can be alcoholic beverages too). You’ll have the choice of using this coupon on either large or regular size pizzas, but the two pizzas that you do use for the coupon must be the same size. In addition to the 50% off pizza, you will also qualify for East Side Mario’s all-you-can-eat soup or salad and garlic home loaf offer (aka the best offer on their entire menu).

The second coupon available from East Side Mario’s is the offer of receiving one free chiller when you spend $15 or more. You will be limited to one coupon per table, but that just means that you can share the chiller with the person sitting across from you (as the coupons are also only valid for dine-in customers only).

Both of these coupons will expire on February 15th, 2015 and you will have the choice of whether you’d like to print them out or simply display them on your smart phone.

Pampers Canada Rewards has a new rewards code that will give you 10 FREE points if you enter the code before February 7th, 2015. You will of course have to be a Rewards member to qualify for these points, but signing up is easy and, best of all, it’s free. The code that you will have to enter is, FBCA89898989814, and when you go the Pampers Rewards website you will see the tab in the top right where you can enter this code to receive your free 10 points.

There are a bunch of great gifts you can order from the Pampers Rewards catalogue once you have saved up enough points, which won’t take too long if you’ve got anyone at home in diapers! I personally thought the 1,000+ points section is where the rewards really start to get sweet. For instance, at 1,200 points you can grab The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear – a childhood favourite of my own – for free and it will ship to your home within 4-6 weeks.

With gas prices being a seemingly too good to be true price right now (the average cost across the country for regular gas is currently $0.93), it has never been a better time to take advance of Shoppers Drug Mart Canada and Petro-Canada’s offer of receiving a free $20 Petro Gift Card that will also save you 5¢/litre on 50 litres of fuel.

To redeem this offer, you will have to shop in-store at Shoppers Drug Mart Canada on February 7th and February 8th and spend a minimum of $75 on almost anything in-store. The only restrictions on the items that won’t qualify towards this $75 minimum are:

• prescription purchases
• products with codeine
• tobacco products
• stamps
• passport photos
• lottery tickets, event tickets, transit tickets and passes
• gift cards, prepaid phone cards, prepaid card products
• and Shoppers Home Health Care location

Once you receive your $20 Petro-Canada gift card, you will have from February 7th until March 1st to use it, which is probably good since there has been murmurings that these low gas prices won’t be around for much longer (the national average went up about 3.6¢ just this past week!)

The Body Shop’s next Girl’s Night Out is tomorrow.  Visit any store from 4pm to close to get a complimentary mini-makeover, free samples with no purchase necessary and try out the next products hitting stores now.

No purchase is necessary for the free samples and makeover but if you do decide to buy, Love Your Body members will get a 20% discount (instead of 10%) and double points.

Girl’s Night Out promos are not held at The Body Shop Outlet locations.  I haven’t been to one in a while, but the last one I attended, we received coupons for $5 off select products as well as samples and they were not pushy if you took your samples and did not buy anything.  The samples varied a lot over the few times I have gone to Girl’s Night Out.   It may depend on location as the last three times were at different stores, so if you go, be sure to let us know what you get in your goodie bag.

Vichy skin care products are some of my favorites, and I love how they frequently give away free samples of new products to try at home. Vichy is introducing a new product, LiftActiv Supreme, and they are currently giving you the chance to win a free sample.

You can enter to win your free sample by completing the form provided with your information. I would suggest that under skin concerns, you select something that is relevant to the product sample being giving away. In this case, you *may* want to select anti-aging for example. I find that by doing so I have usually “won” a sample in the past.

If you are the winner of a free sample, you will be notified shortly by email at the address you have provided.

Sign up to become a Beauty Insider, and when you enter your birthday in the registration form, you will qualify to receive a FREE gift from Sephora Canada during your birthday month. While the contest stipulates that you will only be eligible for these birthday freebies within two weeks of your birthday, if you go into a retail store they are typically forgiving enough to grant you your gift. You also have the option to add these birthday freebies to your cart during the time of your birthday – in case you live too far away to pick yours up in-store.

The current birthday gift that Sephora Canada is giving away is a really great one. During 2015, if you are signed-up to receive a birthday gift with Sephora Canada, you will receive minis of NARS Velvet Matte and Satin Lip Pencils. The size shown above is not the size you will receive in your birthday present, as they will be mini versions, but this gives you general idea of what to expect when you receive your freebie.

Everyday in the month of February, the Hudson’s Bay Canada will be adding new daily record low deals on some of their best-selling products in what they will be calling the “Daily Forecast Deal”. For today’s Daily Forecast the Hudson’s Bay has, quite appropriately timed I might add (especially with the 6 more weeks of winter we’re due for), put the Hudson’s Bay Company Collection Fleece throws on sale for just $30 (normally $40).

These iconic throws from the Hudson’s Bay are not only a fashionable marker of Canadian history, but are also rather practical as they are constructed with a cozy fleece fabric with an attached carrying strap to enable you to easily transport them from room, to car, to cottage and back.

While many would opt for the classic Hudson’s Bay chunky polar fleece, or even the more traditional multi-stripe fleece throw, I found the Millennium Stripe Fleece throw to offer a fresh take on a well-established classic. Since they are all just $30 right now too, you could even pick up two of these blankets for either the home or the cottage and then you wouldn’t have to decide between whether your wanted old, world classic or modernist revival.

In addition to the daily forecast deals that are on at the Hudson’s Bay, be sure to check out their exclusive lineup of free gifts with purchases. The minimum purchases that enable to get these freebies vary by product, with some requiring you to buy a specific product while others simply have a minimum spend amount. For instance, if you wanted to grab this free La Petite Robe Noire – 5ml mini, then you would first have to buy a regular size version of this same fragrance. This pairing would be an excellent freebie – that is if you wear Guerlain perfume – as it would allow you to have one full-size version at home, and a miniature version for when you travel and are on-the-go.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada will also offer free-shipping on orders that exceed $99.
