A couple of days ago, a man in Antigonish, N.S. was added to a growing list of customers who have found metal and harmful objects in potatoes they purchased from Loblaws Farmer’s Market brand and Strang’s Produce brand Russet Potatoes. The man found a nail in his potatoes, but this isn’t the strangest thing to be found in the potatoes thus far. Other customer’s have reported finding needles and metal objects over the past couple months from these two Atlantic Canadian potato brands.
The RCMP has an ongoing investigation on this matter, as they perceive that it may be the result of criminal tampering with the two brands’ produce. Loblaws has issued a recall on all of the following potato products to be either returned to the store or thrown away:
Farmer’s Market Potatoes:
- Potatoes Russet 15 lb/6.8kg, UPC: 061483014779
- Potatoes Russet 10lb/4.54kg, UPC: 061483014786
- Potatoes Russet 5lb/2.27kg, UPC: 061483005920
Strang’s Produce:
- Potatoes 15lb/6.8kg, UPC: 3338345486
- Potatoes 10lb/4.54kg, UPC: 3338345485
- Potatoes 5lb/2.27kg, UPC: 3338345481
Strang’s Chef:
- Potatoes Jumbo for Chips 50lb/22.7kg, UPC: 033383454900
These potatoes have been distributed across Atlantic Canada, including New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. If you do find a piece of metal or any other tampering related object in your potatoes, do not throw it away. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency asks that you hold onto it and return it to your local police authority so that they may add it to their investigation.

The Toronto Wine and Spirit Festival will be celebrating its 7th year running this year at Sugar Beach, Toronto from June 18th through to June 20th. If you plan on being in the area around then, or you live in this area yearround, then you may be interested in checking out this festival – at least for one night – as they are offering a promo code for entry on the Thursday night (June 18th) where you can purchase two tickets for the price of one (or rather, buy one, get one free).
The promo code, SILVERBAY2015, is only valid for the Thursday night of the festival and your general admission ticket will include:
- a wristband to gain entry to the Festival,
- an official sampling cup,
- 5 sample vouchers (worth $1 each),
- complimentary seminars in the Wine & Spirit School,
- live music and more great freebies!
And while the promo code says that it is only good for purchasing two tickets at the price of one, I was able to checkout with 1 ticket for half-off, costing just $12.50. There will be a service fee for your tickets though, so if you are buying the 2 for 1 offer, your service fee will be an additional $5.90. This still makes each ticket cost less than $16, which is quite remarkable considering advance tickets are usually sold for $25 each.
When you’re at the festival, should you run out of your included 5 sample vouchers, you can purchase additional vouchers for $1 each, and they will be sold in strips of 5.
This promo code will only be available for a limited time only.

I’ve always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks, but have never really found a price point on a pair that I could really justify. However, right now SoftMoc is having a massive sale on the Birkenstock brand with pairs like these classic Arizona 2-black strap sandals being sold for just $99.99 (was $109.99).

The wedding season has, at least for a some of us, already officially begun. This means that we must head out to the mall and find our wedding outfit for the season that can be worn, at least a few more times this year, without getting tired of looking at it. I know I personally have two weddings to go this year, and still am yet to lock down an outfit! That is why today’s sale at Addition Elle Canada is such a relevant sale for the season, as they are not only selling dresses for 50% off their original price, but are also including a selection of summertime shoes for 50% off.
If you’re looking for a structured dress that can be worn to both a casual and a more formal wedding, then a dress like this new noir fit and flare printed dress may be just what you’re looking for. The dress’s fitted waist and flared hem provide a little extra drama to an otherwise rather tame dress, but the pink and black floral pattern provide the dress with a bit more of a casual look – if that’s the look you’re trying to play up. Normally, this dress would be $130, but is now only $65.
These strappy wedge sandals from BCBG would aid your look if you were channeling a more relaxed look, as the chunky straps are more funky than formal. These sandals are only $67.50 (was $135), but if you were looking to dress your look up, then you could instead opt for these BCBG round toe pumps (now only $60) in either the sand or the silver.
This sale will be running until 11:59pm EST this evening.

Playoffs season is winding down for all our favourite winter sports, which means there has been (and will continue to be till its over) an increased number of nights spent with friends watching these nail biting playoff games. And what would a night of watching sports be without also including some indulgent pizza from Domino’s Pizza Canada?
From now until June 6th, Domino’s Pizza is running an exclusive offer where you can purchase any large 2-topping pizza plus any 2L Coca-Cola product for just $9.99. Usually, any large 2-topping pizza from Domino’s, before you even add the 2L drink, would be $14.99, meaning that you’ll at the very minimum be saving $5 on your weekly pizza orders.
You will have to enter the coupon code, 4049, at the checkout to receive this discounted offer.

Own one of last summer’s box office hits, Guardians of the Galaxy, which currently holds an astounding 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an equally remarkable ranking of 8.1/10 on IMdB. The Blu-Ray edition of this movie is now being sold on Amazon.ca for just $8.09, though it is normally sold for 4 times this much (regularly sold for $34.99).
Another great film being sold on Amazon.ca right now, for an equally low price, is The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Usually, this edition of the movie would be sold for $39.99, but right now your can pick it up for just $9.99. Unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy edition, this package will contain a Blu-Ray copy, a DVD, and an UltraViolet copy.
Free-shipping on Amazon.ca is only available on orders that are $25 or more, so I’d suggest stacking a couple of these hot deals on DVDs and Blu-Rays if you wanted to qualify for that.
Puma Canada is kicking off summer with an awesome 30% off sale on almost everything with, of course, a few exceptions. The products that won’t qualify for this 30% off, including sale and clearance priced items, are as follows:
- IGNITE footwear,
- Limited Edition & Select styles,
- Classics (Suede, Roma, Speedcat, Mostro, Basket & GV Special),
- full-price licensed motorsport styles,
- full-price golf styles
- and Licensed Authentic and Replica jerseys (Arsenal, Italia, BVB)
Most of the shoes that are available in this sale wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice, though there were some good looking pairs to be found, if you dug a little. That being said, the selection of workout apparel and clothing that Puma has included in this summer sale is rather decent. For instance, using the promo code, SUMMER15, I was able to pick up this men’s lightweight pull-over hoodie for just $36.40 USD (remember, even when you switch the country code, Puma will still list the prices in USD), though it was regularly being sold for $52 USD.
Puma also sells a great variety of workout tanks and sports bras for women that would be great for the summer. With the weather continuing to produce such sunny days, a lot of us will be trying to move our workouts outdoors as much as possible. A tank top like this ST Watchmleave LyrTank Slub would be a nice companion on those hot, sweaty runs, as the cut-out back would increase breathability for your workout. Plus, with the extra 30% off, the tank top will only be $27.30 USD (regularly $39 USD).
Puma will be ending this 30% off promo code offer on Monday, May 25th at 12:59pm EST.
Puma also offers free-shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase required.

A couple of months ago, when the new Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker was released, we did a post detailing how you could pick up the latest piece of technology from Instant Pot for $60 off the retail price of $289.95 USD. Amazon.ca has recently undercut that deal, quite significantly I might add, by selling the newest Instant Pot 7-in-1 programmable cooker for just $129.99 – in Canadian dollars too!
Unlike the retail site for Instant Pot, which is selling the 7-in-1 cooker for $259.99, Amazon.ca was originally selling the Instant Pot for $234.95, meaning you’ll be saving $104 by purchasing it through Amazon.
As we mentioned in our first post about the Instant Pot 7-in-1 programmable cooker, this smart cooking gadget has 7 built in different cooking modes (pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, saute, steamer, and yogurt maker), plus 14 different micro-processor modes that are also built-in to the system.
This is a rather hot deal, especially considering that the older version of this model, the 6-in-1 Instant Pot, is selling for more than the 7-in-1 model (now $133.39).
Amazon.ca will only have this deal available for another 12 hours.

Sears Canada has an excellent gift with purchase offer going on right now, that would definitely cater to your likes if you are a dedicated customer of the Lancome brand. When you spend $45 or more on Lancome products, which really isn’t too hard to achieve (especially if you are a regular shopper at Lancome), then you will qualify for a free 7-piece gift from Lancome that is valued to be worth $123.
I was searching for a product to add to my cart that was just above the $45 minimum, and found this Lancome Star Bronzer Long Lasting Bronzer Powder being sold for just $48. Seeing as the sun is out for longer nowadays, adding a little bronzer to your makeup routine in the morning would be quite appropriate, and this Lancome bronzer is being sold for a rather reasonable price!
Once you have added your qualifying amount of product to your cart, you will automatically have your 7-piece gift added as well, and this will include:
- Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector – 7mL
- Bienfait Multi-Vital Night – 15mL
- Effacil Gentle Eye Makeup Remover – 50mL
- Hypnose Star Mascara – 4 mL
- Colour Design Eye Brightening All-in-One 5 Shadow and Liner Palette in Ruby Affair
- Juicy Tube lip gloss in Berry Bold – 10mL
- Exclusive Lancome cosmetic bag in 1 of 3 possible colours
This offer will be available until June 5th, or while supplies lasts.

The styles and sizes don’t tend to last for very long in the Under Armour Canada outlet sale, but if you are quick enough to find a deal you like, and then act on it, then you very well could pick up some hot deals.
If you’re a man, then you may be interested in checking out this deal that Under Armour has on this men’s UA Storm ColdGear Infrared Softer-shell Jacket. Normally, this windproof jacket – that is designed for outdoor use with its 4-way stretch fabrication – would sell for $159.99, but right now you can buy it for just $95.99. Fortunately, there are still all of the sizes available in this jacket, small, medium and large, though if they do sell out of your size by the time you get there you should keep in mind that the fit of this jacket is loose.
For the ladies, there are a couple of good deals to be found. This women’s UA HeatGear Armour Sports Bra is personally one of my favourite workout bras, and it is now on sale for just $21.99 (regularly $29.99). Another hot find from the outlet section were these fly-by compression capris, now only $35.99 if you get them in the cerise pink. If you’d rather the less flashy accented lime green or purple compression capris, then they will be an extra $10, at $45.99 (regularly $59.99).
Under Armour offers free-shipping on all orders that are $75 or more.

Revealed in this week’s flyer from Best Buy Canada is the newly discounted price on the iPad Mini 3. Recently, the iPad Mini 3 has been selling for between $379-$424, which is what Best Buy had previously been selling the iPad Mini 3 for, meaning you will be saving $85.
Amazon.ca seems to have the closest comparable price to Best Buy’s, but they are still selling it for $10 more at $349.99. Staples is selling the iPad mini 3 for $379.99, while Walmart.ca is selling it for just shy of that at $378.
Best Buy will only be offering this hot price until Thursday, May 28th.
Yesterday we posted about the buy one, get on 50% off sale that Mark’s Canada was having on select men’s Denver Hayes shoes, and today we are bringing you an even better deal from the deal savvy people over at Mark’s. Until Monday, May 25th, all men’s regular priced outerwear will be offered in a buy one, get one free offer, with the free article of clothing being of equal or lesser value to the first.
There are a number of different styles and brands featured in this promotion, and to ensure that you get the most for the money I’d suggest that you purchase two items that are either equal in price, or are very close to each other in price. For instance, if you are purchasing this Windriver HD3 Technical Jacket at $149.99, then your free second article of clothing should be either equal to this price point or relatively close. This Windriver Waxed Canvas Jacket would make for a good combo, as it is being sold for $129.99 (though for you it’d be free) and it would also offer some variation from the more technical looking HD3 coat.
Mark’s offers a standard flat-rate shipping fee of $6.50.

Heading to the beach this weekend? I know I’m planning on trying to soak up as much sun as possible, be it at the beach or on my back deck. These Tommy Hilfiger flip-flops that the Hudson’s Bay Canada has on sale would be the perfect companion for my weekend adventures, as well as relaxing beside the pool, or flipping your feet along the waterfront. If you’re in need of a cute and functional pair of flip-flops for the weekend, then you may want to give this deal a quick peek.
Originally, the Hudson’s Bay was selling these flip-flops by Tommy Hilfiger for $35, but right now you can pick them up for just $19.99; that’s a drop in price of about 40%.
The flip flops come in three bright and playful polka-dotted colours, including pink and white, bright blue and navy, and navy blue and sky blue.
As of the time of this posting, there were still sizes available in 5-10, for each colour too!
