Before you head out for the day to your various Canada Day bbq’s, parades and parties, I suggest that you first check out the Canada Day sale going on at Reitmans Canada today. For today only, you can save 30% off on almost everything online. In addition to this offer, which will only be around until the end of the day, you can also save 30% off on all regular-priced Hyba activewear.
The discounts for both of these offers will already be applied before you even add your items to your cart, so the price you see is the price you get.
In addition to both of these 30% off promos, you can save a little more if you head over to the sale section where you can take an extra 50% off on already reduced merchandise. This promo is only going to be around for a limited time, but if you see anything you like I suggest you move on it quickly before they sell out of it in your size, or just entirely sell out of it!
Reitmans offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $75 or more.

This Canada Day, why not show your Canadian pride by wearing it underneath your clothes in addition to wearing it outside your clothing? For today only, at La Senza Canada, you can deck yourself out with red and white under garments and save yourself up to 40% off if you spend $100 or more.
To receive this discount you will have to enter the promo code, CDAY, and you will have three options of savings:
- spend $50 or more, receive 20% off

The only exclusions on the promo code offer is that you cannot use feather-lite bras as part of your qualifying purchase. Other than that, everything online is fair game.
Another sweet little offer going on today at La Senza is that you can pick up five pairs of panties for just $29.95. Considering that most of the panties are sold for between $7.50-$16.95, you could be saving anywhere between $7.55 to $54.80 (depending on what pairs of panties you are picking up).

For the summer, McDonald’s Canada is bringing out two new items to their menu. One of them will be going onto their all day breakfast menu, while the other is a dessert specialty that would be best enjoyed in the afternoon on a hot summer day.
The first new menu addition is the Egg BLT McMuffin, which will be like the regular egg McMuffin, but this one will include bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese and a dollop of mayonnaise-like sauce. This will only be around for a limited time this summer.
The second new menu offering is the Mud Pie McFlurry. The McFlurry will mock the flavour profile of the iconic Mississippi dessert special by using a combination of chocolate cookie crumbles and chocolate chips with a swirl of hot chocolate fudge sauce.

Banana Republic Canada is trying to make some room in their sale section and so are offering an extra 50% off on already reduced items, which is a tactic they won’t be hearing any complaints from me about! The discount will be automatically applied to your items once you have added them to your cart, meaning there’s also no pesky promo code to keep track of.
The offer will only be available until next week, on Wednesday, July 5. As an example of the kinds of outfits you can create in this sale, you can check out this men’s look that I put together for less than $60! See these men’s Emerson straight fit chinos, which were on sale for just $63.99 (reg. $85), and this men’s Camden fit non-iron dress shirt, which was on sale for $55.99 (reg. $95), will end up only costing you $59.98 for both!

Roots Canada is offering a bunch of great deals right now, the best of the three of course being that they are offering FREE shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase. This offer of free shipping will only be around for a limited time, as it is in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary, but it sure makes shopping in the sale section particularly worthwhile right now.
The second fabulous offer going on at Roots Canada is, as mentioned, their sale section where men’s, women’s and kids’ items have been discounted by up to 50% off in some cases. There is also a mix and match offer for kids at Roots where you can buy two items for the price of just $35.
Within the women’s sale section, I was able to find this Nanoose top on sale for just $39.99, though normally it’d cost you $58.
The last offer going on at Roots to celebrate Canada’s birthday is the free hat offer where you will be able to pick up a Cooper Canada Cap, valued at $30, for free when you spend $150 or more. You will have the choice between a predominantly red hat with white lettering, or the opposite.
Roots Canada is offering FREE shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase for a limited time. Normally, they would only offer free shipping on order that were $49.99 or more.

From now through till July 9 you can shop online and when you buy one item you will receive 50% off on your second item of equal or lesser value.

Using the promo code offer, however, I was able to grab these 721 Vintage High-rise ankle skinny jeans ($84.99) and these High-Rise Boot Cut Yoga Jeans ($99.99) for just $142.49. Normally, these two pairs of jeans would’ve cost $184.98.

Urban Decay Canada is bringing back the Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette, which was previously available for a limited release, but this time it will only be available while quantities remain in-stock. Judging by how positively reviewed that palette is being, with a 4.9 star rating on Urban Decay’s own site and an 87 percent ranking on the makeup review site Temptalia, it would not be surprising to learn that availability of this new Naked eyeshadow palette won’t be around for long.
The Urban Decay Naked Heat eyeshadow palette costs $66, which also means that you will qualify for FREE shipping since that is offered on all orders that are $50 or more.
The palette includes 12 different shade focused colours that go from being amber-hued neutrals to deeper metallic burnt reds. These colours include:
- OUNCE (ivory shimmer)
- CHASER (light nude matte)
- SAUCED (soft terra-cotta matte)
- LOW BLOW (brown matte)

This is perhaps the most out there, if not ridiculous, marketing techniques that retailers have implemented in an attempt to capitalize on Canada’s 150th anniversary. KFC Canada announced that they would be temporarily changing the name of America’s favourite fried chicken supplier to a more Canuck friendly version – K’ehFC (eh, do you see what they did there?) – for the summertime to celebrate their neighbour to the north’s birthday.
“Canada Day is about togetherness â for the country, our communities, and for our friends and family, and bringing people together over a bucket of chicken is what K’ehFC stands for,” said Stephen Scarrow, senior marketing manager for K’ehFC, in a news release.
The new name will be appearing on buckets across the country and, on one lucky store in Saskatoon, they have actually fastened on a brand new sign to reflect the company’s rebranding.
This little gesture has well intentioned thought behind it, but perhaps the masterminds at KFC’s marketing department could’ve consulted some experts before sandwiching the two-letter interjection into their logo. The Toronto Star recently discussed some of the myths and misconceptions surround the use of this specifically Canadian speech pattern and that it’s use may not be as universally Canadian as the world outside Canada perceives.
Nonetheless, it’s a thoughtful gesture from our friends to the south and the buckets I’m sure will provide countless moments of humour and fun on social media (use #KehFC on Twitter and tag a friend for your chance to win a KFC bucket seat!)
Here’s a short explainer video to help you understand how to pronounce the new KehFC brand (*tip, it’s the same as before…)
