I always make a point of keeping an eye on the sale section at Starbucks Canada, and this time it has surely paid off. Starbucks has added a bunch of their spring items to their sale section, with floral stacking mugs being just one of my favourite steals that I spied in the new selection.
If you’re looking for a fresh take on your morning coffee’s transportation, then you may want to check out this colourful double walled 12oz. traveler that is decorated with playful balloons and hearts. The traveler is normally sold for $22.99, but right now is just $15.99.
Another beautiful traveler from the collection was this double walled traveler cup that has been decorated with teal leaves and coral accents. Like the balloon traveler, this mug was originally being sold for $22.99, but right now is on sale for just $15.99.
Starbucks offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $75 or more.

Crocs Canada has two great deals lined up for us to take advantage of and what’s best of all is that these two offers can be combined to double your savings. The first deal is the sale that Crocs is offering on women’s, men’s and kids’ shoes and accessories where you can save up to 50% off.
The second great offer that you can use on top of the sale is the promo code, 15OFF, which will take an extra 15% off on your sale items when you are buying two or more!
So as an example, I was able to grab these kids’ creative Crocs Frozen Fever Clogs for just $21.24 (reg. $39.99) and these women’s Crocs Sienna Leopard Shiny Flats for just $17.84 (reg. $44.99).
Remember that Crocs only allows for FREE shipping when you spend $50 or more, so it may also be wise to stack up in this sale not only for the extra savings, but also to meet the minimum threshold for free shipping.

The golden nectar that you pour on your morning pancakes has just found another possible function, and no, this one is not some crazy food fusion that you’ll be reading about in food blogs for the next six months; this function is one that could actually help with your health, more specifically to decrease your antibiotic use.
Researchers from McGill University presented their findings at the American Chemical Society this past weekend. The lead researcher, Nathalie Tufenkji, said that she was inspired to test the efficacy of maple syrup in treating infections because of the tradition within aboriginal people in Canada having used it for some time.
In the initial tests, the researchers extracted the maple syrup’s phenolic compounds by separating it from the water and sugar in the compound. Next, the exposed the phenolic compound to well known bacteria in petri dishes. Initially, their results were not great.
The maple syrup, by itself, proved not to do much in the way of fighting against bacteria. But, when they combined the maple syrup extract with antibiotics and exposed them to known bacteria in a petri dish, the results were significant.
“What we found is that when we added the antibiotics with maple syrup-extracted phenolic compounds, we actually needed a lot less antibiotic to kill the bacteria. We could reduce the dose of antibiotic by up to 90 per cent,” said Nathalie Tufenkji in a report to CTV.
Researchers say that a possible reason for the maple syrup having a catalytic effect on the antibiotics efficacy is that the syrup could be making the bacteria cells more permeable, by breaking down the walls of the cells so that the antibiotics can begin doing their work faster and with less effort.
Another possible theory they floated was the syrup could be turning off the “pump” on the bacteria, which works to remove the antibiotics from the bacteria’s walls.
Whatever the reason, researchers are excited that they have found a natural and local (and delicious I might add!) solution to using less antibiotics to fight bacteria and disease causing bacteria.

Two of your favourite brands, Starbucks Coffee Company and Panera Bread Company, are contemplating tying the knot in a business merger that would see the latter being bought out by the former, said some people who are familiar with the two companies in a report to Bloomberg.
Panera Bread is apparently shopping around for a buyer and among the top contenders is the big coffeehouse, Starbucks, in addition to Domino’s Pizza and JAB Holding Co. (the company responsible for such iconic brands like Krispy Kreme and Caribou Coffee).
Both Panera Bread and all of the companies reportedly vying for their attention have declined to comment on the merger, citing that it is official policy to not comment on “rumours or speculation”.
Across the U.S. and Canada, there are approximately 2,000 Panera Bread cafes.

It’s wrapping up to be a pretty decent year for us Canadians, especially as more and more retailers and businesses continue adding offers and deals to help in the celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

It may be seem like the conveniences of our smart phones have always been in our lives, but 2017 will actually mark the 10th anniversary of the release of the first iPhone. Apple has been planning this anniversary for some years, and to celebrate this landmark occasion they will be releasing what some have speculated as a wholly new iPhone X (or iPhone 8) this September.
There’s been a number of rumours floating around the web about what features will be added, and what designs will be removed from this new iPhone, but what most people can agree on is that the new smart phone is going to be a chunk of change pricier than previous models. With the iPhone 7 Plus 256GB version already costing just under $1,000USD (or $1,309 CAD), it wouldn’t be unreasonable for the iPhone X to cost well over that. Particularly when you consider that one of the rumours that seems to be more or less confirmed by Apple is that they intend to have the LCD screen replaced with an OLED display – which is nearly double the price of the latter. We expect the price to be around $1,500 CAD based on current rumours. An OLED display eliminates the need for the backlighting that’s used in traditional LCDs, which would allow Apple to cut down on the thickness and weight of the display used in the device. OLED displays can also be flexible, but it sounds like Apple is planning to use a flat 2.5D display in the iPhone X/8.
Apple has yet to confirm any of these rumours, but some tech experts who have an ear of the designers in the Asia supply chain have been able to speculate about what we can expect for the company’s newest model.

This is the kind of sale that you really should take note of, as they don’t happen very often at places like Topshop Canada. Right now, you can shop the mid-season sale at Topshop and save up to 50% off the original price – which for those of you not familiar with Topshop’s prices, is really quite a good (and almost unheard of) deal.
I decided to try and grab something for everyone’s tastes from this sale, finding pieces that can be layered with your current wardrobe staples or reworked to accommodate the new staples. This Ivy Borg Lined Coat is such a staple that could be added to your current wardrobe quite seamlessly, and it’s only being sold for $67.50 (reg. $135).
If you’re just looking for a touch of spring to add to your wardrobe, then you may be keen to check out something like these Carter Loafers, which are now on sale for $62.50 (reg. $125).
One of the must-have items for this season that you may want to consider trying out are full, pleated skirts, like this one being sold at Topshop for just $80 (reg. $160).
Topshop at the 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.

I don’t know about you, but as a single household I usually spend between $30-$50/week on groceries. So this offer from Walmart Canada, where if you spend $50+ on any grocery pickup order to receive $10 of FREE groceries, is one that I simply could not resist sharing when I found it.
To get the free $10 of groceries, you will first have to log in to your Walmart account (it’s free and very easy to create one). And then shop your regular grocery order and then enter the promo code, DELIVER, at the checkout section. You can use the $10 on something other than groceries, but I figure since you’re already shopping for your weekly supply it would make most sense to use this $10 towards that.
The pickup fee for groceries is usually $3, while the delivery fee is $10 (for most locations).

Are you taking a trip in the next month? If you are, you might want to check out this offer from Best Buy Canada which will have you covered for your travel essentials, big or small.
The first biggest and best offer you’ll find from Best Buy is on this Swiss Gear Extravagance 3-Piece Hard Side 4-Wheeled Expandable Luggage Set, available in three different colours – red, blue and black. The set is normally sold for $499.99, but from now until April 6th, 2017 you’ll be able to grab the 3-piece set for half off that price, at just $249.99.
If you’re not in need for a full 3-piece luggage set, as not all of us are looking to overhaul our entire travel essentials, then you may be more excited to learn about the messenger and backpack sale at Best Buy. In this sale, messenger bags, backpacks and side bags are on sale for up to 50% off the regular price.
For instance, this High Sierra 19″ backpack is currently being sold for just $59.99, though before it was being sold for $119.99 (meaning you’ll be saving $60 off!) If you’re not in need of a backpack that big, there’s also this High Sierra 17″ backpack that’s currently on sale for just $49.99 (reg. $109.99).
Best Buy Canada offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $35 or more.

Sears Canada is continuing with their big spring sale, but now they are offering some rather hot deals in their men’s section where men’s outerwear and dresswear are on sale for up to 40% off the original price, while men’s underwear and socks are on sale for up to 35% off.
Within the men’s outerwear sale, I was able to find a really great find for the changing seasons. This hoody short jacket would be ideal for keeping you warm on those surprisingly brisk spring days, but would also not be too warm should the sun decide to poke its head out part way through your afternoon stroll. Usually, this jacket would be sold for $259.99, but right now it can be bought for just $155.99.
It’s always nice to have a practical jacket, but it’s also important to have a nice fitting dress coat for work and formal affairs. Right now at Sears you can grab this single-breasted two button blazer for just $135, though before it was being sold for $225.
Sears offers FREE shipping on all orders that are $99 or more.

Hudson’s Bay Canada is offering deals today that aren’t just for the parents. In the friends and family sale, most would probably jump right to the clothing and home deals, but there are some great discounts to be found for the kiddies in the clothing and toys section.
If you are paying with your Hudson’s Bay credit card, you can save an extra 20% off on your purchases when you use the promo code FRIENDS at checkout. If you’re paying with any other form of tender, you can save an extra 15% off.
Some of the better deals that I was able to find in the kids’ clothing sale were on things that were actually quite seasonably appropriate. For instance, this SOLO SWIM Polka-Dot Whale One-Piece is on sale for just $21 (reg. $28), but with the FRIENDS promo code it will be further reduced to being $17.85 (or $16.80 if you’re paying with your Hudson’s Bay credit card).
In the toy sale, this MONSTER HIGH Deluxe High School Bundle has been reduced to being just $49.99 (reg. $199.99). When you add the promo code though, it’s brought down to being just $42.50.
Hudson’s Bay Canada offers FREE shipping when you spend $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.

Gap Canada and Banana Republic Canada are doing one of their convenient combined promos this week where you can shop at both stores and use the same promo code to receive 40% off your entire purchase. The promo code, STYLE, will expire on April 3rd at 11:59pm EST.
What’s really great about this promo code offer is that you can use it within the sale section, which means you can save 40% off on already reduced items (making your total savings way more than just the original 40% off). For instance, I was able to pick up an entire outfit from Gap for just $41.99. This plaid drapey shirt was originally being sold for $59.95, but I was able to pick it up for just $17, and these two tone perfect boot cut jeans were only $24 (reg. $89.95).
Gap and Banana Republic offer FREE shipping on all orders that are $50 or more.

Lowe’s Canada isn’t fooling around with these deals. Right now, through till April 4th, you’ll be able to shop the amazing cyber deals at Lowe’s where appliances, outdoor furniture, and tools are on sale for up to 50% off the regular price. This sale is being offered both in-store and online as well.
Within the outdoor section, I was able to find this great deal on allen + roth Gatewood 4-Piece Conversation Set, as it is now just $1,199. Before, the set was being sold for $1,599, which means that you’d be savings $400 off if you were to buy it now.
The appliance section of the cyber sale allows for you to save up to $900 off on select major appliances. Like this Samsung 28.07-cu.ft. French Door ENERGY STAR Refrigerator with Single Ice Maker, which is now just $2,298 (reg. $3,198). Another great find in this section was on this Frigidaire Gallery 30-in Smooth Surface Freestanding 5-Element Convection Electric Range, which is now just $998 (reg. $1,498).
