I know most of you are probably viewing this post and thinking, how on earth could there be anything more to post about Christmas at this time of year!? But hear me out before you completely shut me down, as there really are some good deals to be found here in the Walmart Canada Christmas Clearance sale.

I know personally with our own tree experiences at home with our natural trees, though they were fresh smelling and more authentic looking, come Christmas morning there were some saddened faces when we looked up to discover that half the tree was sunk in due to floppy branches; for some reason this year’s tree just didn’t hold up as well as the previous ones. Plus with the clean up of all the needles at the end of the season, the natural tree seemed to be more hassle than it was worth. Which is why our family agreed that not only would it make sense to get a fake tree for next year, but it would make even more sense to get one now since they will be on sale. At Walmart (for the most part), Christmas trees are up to 50% off, with a 7.5 ft. Kennedy white tree with Christmas lights being just $99.50 (was $199).

Even twinkle lights, that never seem to last for more than a season, are on sale at Walmart for just $4.50 when you get a set of 50 mini clear lights. What’s also great about getting these lights now, especially the clear ones, is that they can be used for more than just the Christmas season as they also look quite nice in the  summer time on your back deck.

You can also pick up sets of shatterproof 9-piece ornaments for just $8 and a 150-piece garland set for just $6 (was $12). Plus, though all these items are so cheap, you additionally won’t have to worry about shipping since it is free no matter what at Walmart.

Need your 2014 holiday memories preserved, or better yet, need to clear out those old pictures from your spring graduation? Then now would never be a better time to get those pesky digital copies converted into hard copy print outs as Costco’s Photo Centre will only be charging $0.10 per 4×6 picture!

The process for uploading your pictures is very simple, just head on over to Costco’s photo centre’s online portal and begin uploading your pictures via Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, OneDrive, Dropbox, or Gdrive; though OneDrive and GDrive will probably be the fastest. I’d also suggest avoiding doing this in-store as it can be a tedious process and you may not wish to stand around waiting for your pictures to upload, plus there is a maximum of 1000 pictures when you printout in-store.

Contrary to what you may assume, you do not have to be a member to use the Costco Photo Centre, however if you aren’t a member you will have to use a Costco gift card to pay for your order.

Happening online this week at Chapters Indigo Canada are a multitude of deals and sales that will only be available for a limited time and exclusively be available to online shoppers.

The first set of deals that would be of interest to anyone looking to take up a language as part of their resolutions this year for 2015, is the 45% off being offered on Rosetta Stone Levels 1-3 and Levels 1-5. These language teaching packages come in a variety of levels to progress with you along your journey to becoming fluent in another language no matter your starting proficiency in said language. The Rosetta Stone package comes in two different packaging levels, 1-3 or 1-5, with the first package costing you just $219.45 (normally $399) or for the larger package just $274.45 (normally $499). The sale on these language sets will be available at Indigo Chapters until January 11th and will also qualify for the free-shipping offer.

If you’re looking for a way to recharge your mind after a sluggish holiday break, but aren’t feeling zealous enough to take up a new language, then the 20% off on puzzles and games at Indigo would probably fit your bill. The sale on the puzzles and games is applied to all of the products in this section with the games ranging in difficulty from the very simple and interactive, such as Twister, to the more strategic and mature, such as Catan: Ancient Egypt Edition. This sale will be wrapping up at Indigo the day after the Rosetta Stone sale, on January 12th.

And if your New Year’s resolution for 2015 was to kick yourself in to high gear with your workout regime, then the sale on select workout dvd’s at Chapters Indigo is right up your alley. Some of my personal preferences for workout dvd’s in this sale, that I highly recommend for every level of fitness, are the Jillian Michaels workout fitness dvd’s. In these dvd’s, she offers three different levels of workout intensity, plus includes modifications within each of these workouts so that no matter your level (beginner through till expert) you’re always being challenged. This sale will only be on while qualities last (I’d suggest checking out No More Trouble Zones, now only $7.99!)

Most of these deals will only be hanging around for this week, and remember since they are all exclusively being offered online, that free-shipping will only be included should exceed an order of $25.

Indigo Chapters Canada is having a sale on almost everything in-store and online, including books, home design, style and, more importantly, on toys! This Princess castle by KidKraft is possibly one of the better deals to be found within the sale, as it is now only $65, a markdown of almost 50% as it was orignally being sold for $129.95.

This is an extensive castle set as not only is the castle itself crafted with composite wood materials and given immaculate detailing, but it will also come with:

• 4 wooden dolls, including a king, a queen, a prince and a princess
• two thrones
• two horses (and a carriage)
• plus 9 other detailed accessories to complete your castle’s authenticity

The Princess Castle from Indigo Chapters Canada opens up to reveal an open concept, which allows for more than one child to use it at one time, but can then be closed up to make cleanup and storage of the toy a compact and easy process.

Indigo offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $25, so this KidKraft Princess Castle can ship to your home for free.

Little Burgundy Canada is having an extra savings event, in which you can save an extra 30% off on sale item which have already been reduced a substantial amount from their original retail price. This event is taking place both in-store and online, however, your options for sizes and styles will be greater if you shop online.

Within this sale, some of your best bets will be within the sale selection on bags and backpacks, where I was able to find this awesome Buttaro backpack for just $31.49 in navy and purple, and in black for just a smidgeon more at $41.99; though it was originally being sold for $85.

If you were a little late to pull the trigger on a pair of new boots for the season, then buying a pair now would not only be bank friendly but you would still be able to get some wear out them for this season. For instance, these women’s Chinese Laundry knee-high leather boots (available in a warm chestnut brown, black and a dark grey) would be a great pair of boots to transition into spring, but will also remain relevant for many years to come. Plus, they’re only $62.99 in the grey and brown and only $76.99 in the black at Little Burgundy (previously, they were $120).

Speaking of spring, the shoes within the Little Burgundy sale include these adorable and authentic Sperry Top Sider boat shoes, which are now only $55.99 though before they were being sold for more than double that price at $120!

Right now, for a limited time, Little Burgundy will also be offering free-shipping on standard orders, meaning you can cash in on a pair of these very reasonably priced shoes and pay no extra shipping fees!

For any of you wishing to break into the hobby of designing miniature models, then you should definitely check out this hot deal being offered at Sears Outlet Canada right now where the Nano U.S.S. Enterprise Aircraft Carrier Deluxe Building Set is only $46.94. This reduction on the Sears website is 30% off its regular listed price, but when comparing the prices of this building set on other sites the reduction was shown to be even larger.

For instance, the Nano U.S.S. Enterprise Aircraft Carrier Deluxe Building set was being sold for $138.17 on Amazon.ca, and on eBay.ca the lowest available price was $83.49.

And while the details for this building set may not be as magnified as other Nanoblocks sets, the 890-piece U.S.S. Aircraft Carrier set provides enough of a challenge for a person who is new to the world of miniature design without discouraging them completely. Each individual piece still measures just 4 X 4 X 5 millimetres with the finished product measuring only 15.25″ L x 3.25″ W x 3.25″ H.

The shipping and handling at Sears Outlet is only covered should you spend over $99, otherwise it will be an extra $9.95 for shipping and handling.

Dynamite Canada has added a bunch of new styles to their semi-annual sale, where the items are up to 70% off their original price. In addition to this sweet sale, which is available both in-store and online, you will also be able to qualify for free-shipping; meaning yes, you can shop from the comfort of your home in your cozy pants (my favourite way!)

When looking through the sale items, it was hard to come across any of the merchandise that was actually on sale for up to 70% off, but a lot of the items are 50% off their original price and are really well priced, like this sheer lace 3/4 sleeve top which is now only $20 but was before $39.90.

And while everything may not be 70% or even 50% off, you can find simple camis and tanks, like this printed sleeveless tunic, for under $15 (this tunic was just $12!)

This sale is on for a limited time, and you can order with free-shipping too.

If you’re planning on a mid-winter getaway this year, but don’t wish to spend a mini fortune on your vacation, then you should check out Air Canada’s year end sale on vacation packages.

Specifically if you’re travelling from Toronto to Las Vegas in the middle of January, you can spend as little as $395 round-trip for a four-day trip at a 4-star hotel; meaning that each night at the hotel would only cost you $132 plus your airfare would be included. The best prices that you’ll find in this sale are the best during the mid to late January, and if you’re flying from central hubs like Toronto or Vancouver then the prices are going to be even better.

Other vacation packages that you can pick from in this year end sale include some warmer locations, like Cancun/Mayan Riviera or even Varadero.

The Body Shop Canada is bringing back their Black Friday Tote, and are also reducing it to be just $30, though it is valued to be worth $120. In addition to the return of the Black Friday Tote, shoppers can find more delight within the outlet sale at the Body Shop where beauty and skin care goodies are reduced up to 70% off their original price.

Within the outlet sale you can get the Body Shop’s select body butters for just $10, which is 50% off their original price of $20.

Even better than the body butter sale is the reduction on all gift sets at the Body Shop, where you can get great pieces like this Ultimate Body Care Gift Set for just $50, though it was previously being sold for $128. They’re not kidding when they call this the “ultimate gift set” as the full set will include:

If you were unable to pick up the PS4 500GB The Last of Us Bundle during either Black Friday sales or Boxing Week, then this current deal going on at Canada Computers and Electronics will surely be one that you should look out for. Right now, you can grab this bundle for just $395.87, which is a total of $106 off the original bundle’s price.

When looking through other prices on this particular PS4 bundle, the lowest price that I could find that was comparable to this current offer available at Canada Computers and Electronics was at Future Shop and Best Buy Canada where they were selling the bundle for $449.99 – an entire $50 more than Canada Computers and Electronics.

At this time of year, this is probably the best price you will find on this PS4 bundle for a while since the big savings season is now behind us.

The taxes will vary depending upon the province you are ordering from, but regardless of where you’re ordering from it will still be cheaper than Future Shop and Best Buy.
