Last evening I headed to Shoppers Drug Mart to use my Wednesday personal offer of 12000 Optimum points when you spend $50, and was of course thrown for a loop when I stumbled upon bins and bins of Stylize hair accessories than had been wheeled to the front of the store by the registers that were being cleared out for $1. Yes, everything $1!

The selection included cosmetics mirrors, hair cutting shears, brushes regularly priced at upwards of $20, hair elastics, hair claws, clips, bobby pins, rollers, headbands…you name it! Just $1! So, I thought this may be an isolated incident, but I have since seen others make mention of similar clearance prices. If you have some free time it would not hurt to head to one or more Shoppers locations and have a look, or just start scanning products. This is an amazing opportunity to stock up on these items for right now, and future use.

Let us know if you are able to score any great deals on Stylize products!

2017 has been a tough year for retail, and the latest chain to fall victim of failing to compete against e-commerce giants like Amazon is Payless ShoeSource. In a statement from Payless CEO Paul Jones, the company officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday, saying that they will initially be closing between 400-500 stores.

Payless has over 4,400 stores in 30 different countries. However, the cheap-shoe model, initially a novel concept that brought them great affluence, is no longer enough to differentiate the Kansas based chain from other internet companies that offer equally if not cheaper shoes.

In a statement to the press, Payless’ CEO said that “[it] was a difficult, but necessary, decision driven by the continued challenges of the retail environment, which will only intensify.” The company has also said that they plan to take on “aggressive” changes to their setup in order to confront their e-commerce competitors.

Similar to Spotify and Apple Music, Google Play Music is a fabulous music streaming site that provides you with commercial free access to thousands of artists music. Usually, this service would cost you $9.99/month, but right now Google Play is providing us Canucks with a special offer where you can grab four months of Google Play for FREE.

Like I said, the usual cost of this service is $9.99/month, which means that if you unsubscribe from the service before your four months renew, you could receive this service for absolutely nothing, though it would normally have cost you $39.96.

You will have to provide your credit card to claim this offer, but you won’t be charged for a new month until the end of the offer. So if you’re sure to unsubscribe at the very end, you won’t need to worry about any unwarranted charges (to plan ahead against getting charged for offers like these, I usually set a reminder in my Google calendar so that I don’t forget to unsubscribe before the charging date).

Click here to claim your free four months from Google Play Music.
