If you can get your kids excited about getting into their pyjamas, then half the battle of bedtime is already won. Carter’s OshKosh B’Gosh Canada is well aware of this classic conundrum, which would easily explain why they’ve decided to give parents a bit of a break on their bank accounts so they can pick up brand new pyjamas for their kiddies at 25% off the regular price.
There are several styles to choose from in this sale, and a lot of them are being sold in two, three and even four-piece sets. For instance, these kid boy 4-piece snug fit cotton pjs are being sold for just $21 (reg. $28). This would make each individual piece cost just $5.25!
For little girls, there are some rather playful looks to choose from in the sale. My personal favourite was this adorable 1-piece whale snug fit cotton pjs, only $10.50 (reg. $14), but there were other playful looks to choose from, including this unicorn 1-piece pjs and this 3-piece cat pjs set.
Carter’s OshKosh B’Gosh is also offering FREE shipping on all orders that are $50 or more.

Hudson’s Bay Canada is one of my favourite places to shop, both online and in-store. The only downside is that my bank account doesn’t always agree with my proclivity to shop at the Hudson’s Bay, except for perhaps right now, particularly within their clearance sale section. Right now, you can find great deals in the clearance section for men, women, kids, home, jewellery and much more – and it’s all being sold for under $100!
Within the women’s portion of the clearance sale most of the deals are on women’s activewear and workout gear. For instance, this Ivy Park Logo Hoodie is on sale for just $45.50 (reg. $65) and these matching leggings are being sold for an equally appealing price of just $35 (reg. $50).
Within the men’s section of the sale, most of the offers are also on sportswear and athleisure, but there are some more casual looks to choose from as well. For instance, this MPG pillar cashmere-blend jersey polo is on sale for just $64.80 (reg. $108).
Hudson’s Bay offers FREE shipping on orders that are $45+ (or $29+ on beauty purchases) when you pay with your Hudson’s Bay credit card, or $99+ (or $49+ on beauty purchases) when you pay with any other form of tender.

Dynamite Canada has some sweet deals going on. For example, you can pick up blouses for only $19.95, blazers for only $34.95, and sale items up to 50% off. These deals will only be around for a limited time only.
Using this offer, I was actually able to pick up an entire outfit for just $50. This belted tunic sweatshirt, which was originally $44.95, and these foiled scuba moto leggings, which were previously being sold for $39.95, would in total just come to $50. If you wanted to expand your outfit options, you could also throw in v-neck tunic tee for an extra $10 and have two different outfits for just $60.
Dynamite is also offering FREE shipping on all orders that are $40 or more.

End of season is the best time to stock-up on winter gear, as it is usually exorbitantly more expensive than summer gear (puffy winter coats and board shorts just don’t compare!)

There’s a lot to choose from in this sale, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the better finds from the event to give you some inspiration:
Sabena’s is also offering FREE shipping on all orders that include either camp or cabin products, with no minimum purchase required either. The only catch is that you’ll need to use the promo code, CAMPCABIN, and it will only be available until tonight, February 20.

If you’re looking to give your home a much needed spring awakening, then you should look no further than Linen Chest Canada as right now they are running a short – but amazing – sale on already reduced bedding decor where you can take an additional 20% off on select items. While this is a wonderful sale, it will only be around until February 22nd at midnight. To receive the extra 20% off online, you will have to use the promo code, 72SALE.
Of the amazing deals that are available in the sale, one that caught my attention was this offer on guilty throw, which is normally sold for $49.95, but with the extra 20% off it will only end up costing $15.96.
Also worth checking out at Linen Chest is their inventory clearance sale, where you can save up to 80% off on common household items, appliances, decor and much more. For instance, this Cuisinart Classic 10Pc Ss Cookware Set is just $249.99 (reg. $599.99).

Banking in Canada can be a bit confusing at times, especially if you’re working within a tight budget and want to ensure that your money is working as much as possible for you. That is why we’ve put together a small list that breaks down what each bank can offer you in terms of freebies and perks so that you can easily navigate which offers are best suited to your needs.
For instance, if you find yourself to be a committed cinephile, then opening up a Scotiabank account might be in your best interest as you can quickly earn Scene points to redeem free movies. Of course if going to the movies isn’t one of your preferred past times, and you find yourself increasingly wanting to do your banking online then an account with someone like Tangerine may be a better fit for your needs.
Regardless of what your preferences are, here is a roundup of some of the opening offers that each bank in Canada will offer you!
Scotiabank:
With Scotiabank, when you open up a Scene-eligible bank account, such as the Scotia One Chequing Account, you can begin collecting Scene points when you do your banking immediately, all of which will go towards redeeming free movies. Plus, when you open a new account you’ll automatically get 5,000 free points, which is the equivalent of five free movies.
When you use your Scene Visa Card, however, you’ll be able to earn one point for every $5 you spend and then when you spend on Cineplex purchases you’ll get 5 times the points!
Tangerine:
As mentioned earlier, Tangerine is a newer bank so what they really thrive in offering their customers is the flexibility that most of the older, more established banks have yet to catch up in; that is, online banking. While the other banks offer some version of online banking, Tangerine is by far the most user friendly and accessible. Plus, you earn a $50 bonus for every friend or family member you refer to Tangerine. And to give them an extra incentive to open their account, they’ll also receive a $50 bonus when they open their account.
This offer from Tangerine is only valid from now through till April 30, 2018.
RBC:
Do you commute to your job or find yourself taking long road trips on the weekend? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then opening an account with RBC may be in your road-tripping preferences.
Even if you don’t want to open a new account with RBC, when you link your Petro-Points card with your RBC account you can save 3 cents per litre when you link the account with your debit or credit card. All you have to do to receive this offer is get an RBC debit or credit card, unless you have one already in which case you can skip ahead to the next step. Then you must get a Petro-Points card and then login to your RBC account and link the two cards to one another. After that, once you pay for your gas at a Petro-Canada location you’ll be able to save 3 cents per litre!
BMO Bank of Montreal:
This is a relatively straight forward offer that just about anyone could get behind, as it’s literally free money. Right now until April 3, 2018, when you open up a new BMO checking account and make a deposit, set up a recurring direct deposit and have at least one transaction on the account, you can receive a free $100 cash bonusexclusions to this offer. There are some , which you can read more about here, but for the most part this offer is great, even if you don’t intend on keeping the account open after receiving the bonus.
CIBC:
This offer would be for the more business savvy banker, as right now when you open a CIBC eAdvantage Savings Account you can earn 2.30% interest on new deposits. Plus, you’ll also have free online, mobile, telephone and CIBC transfers. The only catch to this offer is that you must have a balance of $5,000 to qualify for the account. But apart from that, it’s rather easy to earn money off your savings!
Sephora Canada is one of my favourite places to shop for new makeup, but part of the extra incentive that gets me to shop online rather than in-store are the awesome freebie samples that you can collect with your Beauty Insider membership (which is free to join!)
You can only grab one free sample with each online purchase, which can often make choosing a product a bit of a brain scrambler, but no matter what you end up walking away with a free sample that puts a smile on your face.
This week’s selection of freebies include:
- get a FREE trial-size Kat Von D lipstick in Double Dare when you use the code, DOUBLEDARE, and spend a minimum of $35
- receive a travel refill kit in the shade of your choice from Atelier Cologne when you use the promo code, KIT2GO, and buy select Atelier Colognes

A new season usually means that restaurants are looking to give their menus a much needed refresh and awakening. Boston Pizza Canada is never one to shy away from experimenting with new flavours, so it is not too surprising that their two newest menu offerings are somewhat outside of their regular fare of ‘just pizza’.
The first new addition to the menu will have you salivating just saying the name: the Kick’n Memphis Chicken Sandwich. The hot and spicy buttermilk-breaded chicken breast that you’ll get in this delectable addition, sandwiched between a brioche bun, will also come with crispy fried jalapeños, bacon, veggies and real cheddar cheese. When you order this mammoth of a sandwich, you’ll also get to choose to have either fried or a salad on the side, which will make your total meal cost just $15.45.
The second addition to the Boston Pizza menu is the Mediterranean Chicken Wrap. This option is a bit lighter fare than the Memphis Sandwich, as it features a number of delicious and fresh veggies all of which is contained within a grilled soft tortilla wrap. Being a Mediterranean dish, it will also include a creamy hummus, tarragon dressing, Kalamata olives and feta cheese. The wrap with the accompanying fries or salad will be a bit cheaper than the chicken sandwich, as it will only cost $14.95.
