Events
Before the park opens up to the general public on May 3rd, 2015, Canada’s Wonderland will be running pre-season corporate days if you’re a family or friend of BMO, RBC, or Scotiabank employee. The prices start as low as $21.95 for an adult single-day ticket, and can be combined with an all-you-can-eat meal ticket for just $12.99. Seeing as a regular front gate ticket normally costs $62 for an adult’s one-day admission, you will be saving close to $40 if you’re able to take advantage of one of the corporate family and friends events.
The prices and the dates of the three different corporate days from Canada’s Wonderland will be offered in the following price brackets:
BMO-Saturday, April 25th
- one-day general admission early-bird adult ticket, $21.95
- two-day adult ticket, with second use being valid between May 3rd-June 30th, only $34.95
Scotiabank-Sunday, April 26th
- one-day general admission early-bird adult ticket, $21.95
- two-day adult ticket, with second use being valid between May 3rd-June 30th, only $34.95
RBC-Saturday, May 2nd
- one-day general admission early-bird ticket, $23.99
- two-day adult ticket, with second use being valid between May 3rd-June 30th, only $36.99
For those of us who aren’t fortunate enough to know one of the corporate employees involved in the Family and Friends pre-season offer, then we can opt to get a full-season pass for just $69.99. Considering an at the front of gate ticket will cost you about $62, this ticket will already pay for itself in less than two visits. Of course this deal will only apply to you if you do intend on visiting Canada’s Wonderland more than once this season, otherwise it’d be best to stick with purchasing your tickets in advance online, or waiting till the end of the season for the reduced fares.
Another big-box Canadian retailer has bit the dust, and this time it’s one of our favourites here at Smart Canucks. Tiger Direct Canada has decided to close their doors on 31 of their 35 retail stores, with the only open locations remaining being in the United States. Apparently, the company Gordon Brothers has taken over the liquidation of their stock, and they have begun the clearance sale today.
You will be able to find markdowns at Tiger Direct on everything from PC accessories (like cables and keyboards), to bigger ticket items, like laptop and TVs. The discounts will initially start out small, as is common for liquidation sales, but will increase weekly until they finally hit the 90% off mark.
We’ll continue to keep you updated on the markdowns going on at Tiger Direct so that you can stay in the loop on their hottest deals.
Are you surprised to see Tiger Direct go, and will any of you be jumping on the going-out-of-business sales?

If you don’t already have a local Irish pub that you plan on hitting up this Tuesday, March 17th, more commonly known as St. Patrick’s Day, then I’d suggest you consider giving Kelsey’s Canada a try for at least one of your pit stops throughout the day. This Tuesday, Kelsey’s will be celebrating the green holiday by offering customers cans of tall boys for $4.50 each, and they will be running this offer from the time they open their doors till they kick you out for last call.
In addition to this special St. Patrick’s Day offer, Kelsey’s will also be continuing with their weekly special on Tuesday night where you can get 2 spiked snow kones and 2 appetizers for just $20. For appetizers, you will have the choice of cheese n’ bacon potato skins, mmmmoozzarella bread, large caesar salad or spinach dip. These appetizers and snow cones will certainly agree with your stomach, especially after a long day of drinking; the greasy potato skins would be my go to!

It’s one of our favourite times of year, the Gap Canada Family and Friends event is starting today online and will be continuing through till Monday, March 16th. During this event, you will be able to take 40% off on your entire online purchase when you enter the promo code, GAPFAMCA, at the checkout. The best part about this event? There are no restrictions on the kinds of products you can include, or can’t include, in your order to receive the 40% off.
If you’re needing ideas on what to use your 40% discount on, I’d suggest heading into the sale section where they have recently added some springy peplum tops and shift dresses, that are starting as low as $45.99.
Or if you’re wanting to exercise this discount on some new spring arrivals, then you may want to check out the Gap’s dress shop where they have added a plethora of new styles that will certainly get you excited for the impending warmer weather. I love the look of balancing a sweet an delicate flare and fit dress, like this white stripe seersucker dress ($79.95), with a more rough around the edges jean jacket ($26.99) to create a light spring outfit.
If you were to get both the dress and the jean jacket, it would normally cost you $106.94. During the Family and Friends event at Gap, however, you will only have to pay $64.17 with your 40% off discount.
Gap Canada offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $50, and since this offer will only be available to online shoppers, I’d advise meeting or exceeding this minimum since it will be an extra $8 if you are below it.

The unveiling of a new Apple product is probably the closest comparison that adult tech aficionados can draw to a child’s emotions the night before Christmas Day. Since the rumours of Apple’s newest technology innovation, the Apple Watch, were brought to fruition back in the fall, we have gained an increasing amount of information about this neat little gadget that will, as the CEO Tim Cook suggests, be a more intimate medium for communication.
Of all the new features that the Apple Watch boasts (texting, e-mailing, notifications and, let’s not forget, telling time) the one that most of us will undoubtedly be focused on is the actual aesthetics of the device. Judging from the teaser videos and limited press releases regarding the actual appearance of the Apple Watch, I think we will be satisfied with the opportunities we will have to customize the device, as there are currently 10 different faces available as well as three different leather straps, a stainless steel bracelet or a black or white band. The Apple Sport Model (one of the three different versions being sold) will have an anodized case so that it will be more resistant to damage during your workouts.
The other two versions being sold from Apple, the Apple Watch, and the higher-end, Apple Watch Edition, will range in price from $699 CAD to $1,459 for the Apple Watch and the more expensive Apple Watch Edition will start at around $13,000. The Sport will be the cheapest of the three ranging between $449 and $519 CAD.
Of all the hype that the Apple Watch is creating, the only feature that I can truly see setting it apart from the rest of the smart watches on the market is its KillerApp, which is an app that reminds you to stand up, exercise and generally get moving. Unlike other fitness apps that have notifications that pop up on your computer screen, this app from Apple will send ‘taps’ against your wrist until you listen to the app and get up and get going. Having this physical reminder to get up and move will be more efficient than simply closing a notification on your phone or computer.
Apart from being able to tell time within 50ms of universal standard time, the Apple Watch will also be equipped with Siri voice service, along with having an intelligent piece of technology called the Digital Crown that will essentially be able to detect the difference in your fingers from a ‘tap’ to a ‘press’. You will of course have to be in possession of an iPhone for the Apple Watch to work at its maximum ability, and it will be compatible with iPhone 5c, 5s, 6 and 6 plus.
While pre-ordering the Apple Watch begins on April 10th, you will be able to begin purchasing them in-store on April 24th in Canada.
The Apple Watch sounds like a pretty interesting gadget to own, but a bit outside most of our budgets for telling time; do you think you’re going to jump and buy the Apple Watch? Or will you wait till the second version comes out?

Shoppers Drug Mart Canada is running a special offer today for their Shoppers Optimum Points members where you can ‘scratch and save’ through your mobile phone to receive bonus Optimum points. Simply text, SURPRISE, to the number 736898 and you will receive a text message back from Shoppers Drug Mart that will lead you to a link that will give you a chance to scratch and save your special offer.
You will only be able to use the bonus points you receive in your offer today, March 10th and remember that when you are texting Shoppers that the standard message and data rates will apply.
When I did this offer earlier today, I was able to get an offer that gave me 20 times the Shoppers Optimum Points when you spend $50 or more on almost anything in-store. I don’t know how common offers like this one are, but this is a pretty sweet offer in my opinion since the 20 times the points events only seem to happen every other week at Shoppers.
