It’s hard to believe, but 20 years ago this year the very first Playstation was launched. To celebrate this momentous year, Sony Entertainment Network is having an Anniversary sale, starting today, where you can save up to 60% off on Playstation games that have been produced in the past 20 years. The sale will run until January 19th, and if you have a PSPlus membership, you’ll have the chance to save even more on these games with a discount of up to 75% off.

There are some really hot deals to be picked up in this sale, which are available in the Playstation platforms: PS4, PS3, PS Vita, PSP, PS2 Classics and PS1 Classics. I have broken down a list of some of the hotter finds, but I’d advise you to head on over to the Sony Entertainment Network site to check out the full list of games, in case I may have missed one of your favourites from the past 20 years!

Lululemon Canada is a well known retailer for high-quality and trendy workout gear, but even more so than that, they’re better known for their (normally) incredibly high price tags. This is why their “we made too much sale” is usually the only time I buy Lululemon, as most of the times I just can’t justify it – no matter how bright and cute the patterns may be! Their current sale on the Swiftly Headband, a 50% reduction, plus the free shipping, is an offer anyone would be mad to pass up.

The Swiftly Headband normally sells for $14, which is a bit much if you ask me for an accessory that’s designed to keep your hair out of your face. Right now, however, you can pick it up for just $7; a much more reasonable price tag for an item you (most likely) won’t be wearing out on a Friday night on the town.

What is great about the Swiftly Headband, is the silicone lining on the inside which prevents your headband from sliding off your head mid-run. It also is made with the same moisture wicking material that the workout tanks and jackets are made with at Lululemon, aiming to prevent sweat from dripping down your nose and into your eyes (a most painful mishap when it does occur).

The headbands are one size fits all and they come in a rainbow of different pigments to choose from, all of which will give your morning workout routine that much needed pop.

Good morning Smart Canucks! This fine Wednesday morning, the Hudson’s Bay Canada is offering you a flash sale on the entire Hotel Collection of bed and bath products, with select pieces being marked up to 60% off their original price. This sale will only be sticking around until 11:59pm EST this evening, but stock will surely sell out before then at these hot prices!

You can pick up within the 60% off sale on pillows and duvets some really great finds that will keep you and your family warm during long winter nights for the rest of the season. A queen size Primaloft Down Alternative Lightweight Duvet can be bought now for just $144 (Regularly $360) or if you’re just looking for a nice firm pillow to ease your aching neck, then you can grab this Hotel Collection Firm Down Pillow for just $200 (regularly $400).

Hotel Collection towels, though there isn’t a huge selection of them included in this sale, have been marked down to be just $15.99 per bath towel, though they are normally marked up by 40% more than that at $27.99.

You can also of course pick up bed collection sets, sheets and shams for 50% off in this sale as well. The best deal that I was able to find within this sale was on the queen size 600 Thread Count Flat Sheet (in truffle), which is now just $45.56 though usually it sells for more than double that price at $135.

The Hudson’s Bay will also offer free-shipping on orders that exceed $99, and you won’t be able to shop this sale in-store as it is an exclusive online sale.

The online deals at Princess Auto Canada are shaping up to be some of the better ones online that you’ll find on all those sneaky odds and ends that you always seem to be out of or in need of, but can never seem to place exactly where that good old measuring tape has gone off to. The sale is being offered exclusively online, and the price drops on these household and auto products will only be around until January 18th.

The one catch to these sales at Princess Auto is that the shipping and handling is not free and will be a standard rate of $6 for shipping plus an extra $0.65 per pound. Be sure that you’re aware of this before placing your order, especially if it’s on something a bit heavier as the shipping rates may out weigh your savings and actually make it not worthwhile to buy that specific item from Princess Auto.

Some of the better deals that I was able to scope out during this online sale were mainly smaller items, but still necessities that every household should have (or is missing a copy of):

• 3-piece measuring tape set, now only $3 (was $3.99)
• mini spade, now only $2.50 (was $3.99)
• 2 1/2 in. 4-edge paint scraper, now only $3.53 (was $4.99)
• 60-piece 1 in. Screwdriver Bit kit, now only $3.53 (was $4.99)
• 80-piece Industrial Big Wipes, now only $5 (was $6.99)

With the New Year and new resolutions to get healthier, so to calls for revised (and often times expensive) remodels of our diets. This also means, for some of us, going out and purchasing the appropriate appliances and cookware that will aid us to eat better and order in less often. The Lodge Cast Iron brand has been making cookware products for decades, with each piece being crafted with a commitment to the environment and your health in mind. Right now at Kitchen Stuff Plus Canada, you can use this coupon, both online and in-store, to take 20% off on any Lodge Cast Iron product.

If you are using the coupon in-store, you must present and print out this coupon and will be limited of one use per day per paying customer. For online shoppers at Kitchen Stuff Plus Canada, you may enter in the coupon code, KSP256, to get your 20% off discount on Lodge Cast Iron products. You will have until January 18th at 11:59pm EST to redeem this coupon, after which it will no longer apply.

I love the variety offered in this promotion, particularly on the Lodge Logic Cast Iron minis, which would be ideal for people who are cooking for just themselves or one other person. The frying pan is normally $9.99, but with the coupon comes down to being just $7.99. For the entire collection of minis then, you would only pay $55.96 (as the other three pieces will cost $15.99 with your coupon discount). Ordinarily, a collection like this from Kitchen Stuff Plus would cost $69.96.

If you haven’t heard of Aeropostale Canada, I can guarantee you that your 12 year old son or daughter has, and would be thrilled to learn that they are currently offering an extra 50% off on the entire clearance stock until January 18th at 11:59pm EST. This offer will only be available to online shoppers, since to receive this extra 50% off you will have to enter the promo code, EXTRA50, at checkout to qualify.

In the girl’s section, there are lots of options to choose from that will satisfy your wants depending on what your in search for during this awkward  in-between season. I personally find cable knit sweaters to be a great piece, no matter the time of year, as they can be layered to keep you warm or worn just as is during the warmer early spring days.  A style like this solid cable-knit v-neck sweater would normally sell for $49.50, but it is currently on sale for $16 which will be further reduced to $8 when you enter your EXTRA50 code.

For the boys, the selection is not as wide as the girls, but there are still some hot finds to pick up. For instance, these slim straight destroyed light wash jeans were only $9.50 after I applied my discount to it, though they were originally being sold for $54.50.

Shipping and handling at Aeropostale Canada is a flat fee of $7 until you spend $250, after which it jumps to $25.

Guess Canada is offering an extra 50% off on their already reduced merchandise, making some of their stock drop into shockingly low price brackets; for instance, a three-piece watch collection like this feminine red, black and silver-tone set is now just $65.99. While the straps are interchangeable, you are essentially getting the variety of three watches for the price of $65.99 (normally $115), making each look (or each ‘watch’) cost just $21.99.

And if you are able to exceed the minimum of $99, you can enter in the promo code, FREESHIP99, and you’ll also receive free shipping on your order. Both the 50% off extra on sale merchandise and free shipping promo code will be available for a limited time.

One of the better finds that I was able to scope out in this Guess sale was on these sleek, foldable over-the-knee boots which are normally $149, but can be picked up today for just a fraction of that price at $70.

All of the discounts on the sale merchandise has already been made, so the price you see on the Guess site reflects the already discounted price.

If you aren’t able to exceed the $99 minimum for free-shipping, your order will have a flat fee for standard orders of $7.95.

New Balance Shoes, one of the world’s leading brands in the running shoes market, is on sale at the Hudson’s Bay Canada for up to 50% off the retail price. In this sale, the Hudson’s Bay has a variety of styles and types to choose from, including walking shoes, casual, and running sneakers that are all being sold for very reasonable prices.

While I loved the retro look of the New Balance 501 Classics in cobalt blue for running, I couldn’t really imagine myself sporting these shoes for a leisurely Sunday walk in the park (though the price tag of just $45.90 could push me in the other direction). Instead, I thought these dark blue New Balance 620 sneakers would fit that bill a lot better, and they were only a slight bit pricier at $52.80 (was $110).

There are plenty of colours available in each style as well, though some of the specific styles of New Balance 501 Classics may be a bit more limited in sizes.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada also offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $99, so if you find a pair that you fall in love with then double up and save on your shipping!

Starbucks Canada’s end of the year sale has taken all of that once so sought after (and pricey!) Christmas stock and slashed the prices by up to 40% off the original price. The sale is going on both in-store and online, but you’ll have a better chance of finding the stock you want if you shop online – as each store only gets a limited number and kind of each item.

Tumblers and cold cup travellers are starting as a low as $7.95, with the most expensive ones in the sale still being just $14.95! One of the better finds from this sale, at least I thought so, was on the Dot Collection Pike Place 16 fl. oz. tumbler which is now just $12.95, marked down from the previous price of $21.95.

If you enjoyed this year’s Christmas blend, then you still have a chance to stock up on the last bit of supplies from this year’s stock as both the whole bean and the ground options are still available in either half-pound or whole pound bags. My suggestion, would be to stock up on the Whole Bean Christmas Blend, and then freeze the extra bags you have leftover – as the coffee can be frozen and still retain most of the freshness and complex flavour profile. The Whole Bean Christmas Blend, in the half-bags, is now just $5.95 (or $13.95 for a whole pound), which is an incredible discount considering they normally sell for $9.95 and $18.95.

Sport Chek Canada is hopeful that the rest of the ski season will pick up, and to entice you to get some fresh gear they are offering a 20% discount on select ski alpine boots until January 19th, 2015.

And to keep you warm while you’re out on the ski trails, you can bundle up in one of Sport Chek’s winter outerwear sale jackets, which are now on sale (also until January 19th) between 30%-50% off the original price.

You can pick up great layering pieces in the winter outerwear sale, like this women’s Columbia Many Paths Fleece Lined Jacket which is now just $39.99.

Sport Chek Canada offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $99, but you can still shop all of these current deals in-store as well if you’d rather not dish out the extra cash on shipping.

Not only can preparing for a baby be both a joyous and nerve taxing event, but it can also be quite expensive in terms of actual dollars and cents when it comes down to monetary terms. The sale going on at Babies R Us Canada is here to somewhat lighten the load on your stresses, at least in terms of managing your budget. They are currently having a massive sale where merchandise has been marked down by up to 50% off, like the half price sale on infant toys.

If you’re looking to find some decent sales on big ticket items, like strollers and car seats, then you should check out the On-the-Go With Baby sale where products have been reduced by upwards of $100 – which can make quite the difference when buying these more expensive items. A really sweet find within this sale was on the Graco FastAction Fold Jogger Travel System with SnugRide Click Connect 35 Infant Car Seat Tidal Wave, which is now just $399.97 (regularly $499.97).

Smaller household and everyday necessities, that when you add them all up can be quite pricey, are also on sale at Babies R Us Canada. Potties, diapers, diaper genies and an abundance of other essentials for baby have been reduced in this sale by up to 40% off the original price.

Babies R Us Canada will be having this Baby Fest sale until January 22nd, 2015 and will be offering free-shipping on all orders that exceed $25.

Pick up this Graco Charleston Convertible Crib (in Cherry stain) from the Walmart Canada online clearance sale for just $171, as it is not only the lowest price you will find on this crib but also one of the few retailers left who sells this wonderful convertible crib.

Though the Graco site has this same crib advertised for a similar price point, $179, the no longer have the crib left in stock. Other sites have instead marked this Graco Charleston Convertible Crib by nearly double the price being advertised on the Walmart site. For instance, Amazon.ca and Sears Canada are selling the same model available at Walmart for the outlandish price of $299!

Walmart Canada will also ship this Graco product for free, unlike Sears who will tack on an extra fee as it is considered over-sized.

After I applied my promo code to it, the scarf was then reduced to just $41.79 saving you a total of $34.20.
