Last week we did a post that gave you a basic rundown about what the site, Sample Source Canada, was all about. Part of their promotions for the release of their new samples for the 2015 spring edition has been to leak blurred images of some of the products that we should anticipate to be included in the free samples for this spring.

This past week, Sample Source leaked an image of the above picture with the caption, “Try this tasty mix to your drink for a boost to help replenish and refuel your body!”. There have been a number of leaked images for the past few weeks in building the excitement for the spring 2015 Sample Source release, all of which you can see on their Instagram page here.

Signing-up for Sample Source is free, and I’d suggest you do it so that you can be among some of the first people to be notified about when these free sample package will become available.

The Royal Canadian Mint tends to offer these great deals on their novelty coins, particularly the ones that are of higher value, where you can essentially do a straight exchange on the coins (as they are valued to be worth exactly what you pay). Right now, the Mint is offering a deal such as the one described on the $50 Fine Silver Beaver Coin (2015), where the coin is worth $50 and you will only have to pay $50 as there is no tax on the coin and the shipping and handling cost has been covered!

These coins from the Mint make excellent gifts for your children, especially for special occasions that you’d like to landmark with a present that will last longer than this season’s latest tech toy.

You’ll perhaps remember earlier today when we posted about a deal on the Friends series on Amazon.ca where you could save 35% off on the complete collection in Blu-Ray edition. We would like to correct this posting, or rather inform you that there is a far better deal surfacing on Amazon.ca right now where you can save over double what you previously could, as the Blu-Ray edition is currently on sale for 78% off the original price. Friends: The Complete Collection (in Blu-Ray) is normally sold at retail price for $323, but right now you can collect the entire series in high-quality blu-ray for just $69.99.

Or, if you don’t have a Blu-Ray player at home, or simply don’t see that added value in buying your TV shows in Blu-Ray, you can pick up the same entire collection of Friends on Amaon.ca, but in DVD format, for just $55.99. This is possibly one of the lowest prices that this series has been sold for in a very long time, and while it is a super hot offer, it will only be available on Amazon.ca for another 13 hours (as of this posting).

Amazon.ca offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $25, so both of these collections will qualify for the free-shipping offer.

If you’re a student at Wilfrid Laurier, and like coffee (as I imagine many of you do), then you’ll be pleased to hear about this offer from the 5 Days for the Homeless campaign where you can receive a $10 Starbucks gift card for just $5. What’s even nicer about this offer, apart from the fact that you’ll essentially be saving 50% off on your coffee purchases, is that the $5 you pay will be matched and donated to Laurier’s 5 Days for the Homeless Campaign, which is a charity that seeks to raise funds and awareness about homeless people.

To receive your $10 Starbucks gift card at half price, you will have to be a Wilfrid Laurier student, as it requires both your name and student number to receive said card. It will take until the end of March for all cards to be mailed out, so be patient with yours.

Newegg.ca has extended their offer of bringing you free-shipping on a select products being sold online right now. The selection of items you will have to choose from in this offer varies between newer items and refurbished products, which in some cases have been reduced by up to 75% off.

The shellshocker deal of the day at Newegg.ca is also being included in the limited time offer of being shipped to your home for free, which is really quite wonderful considering that the HP Smartbuy 23.6″ 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor is currently on sale for 34% off the regular price, now just $144.99 (was $219.99).

Newegg.ca does not normally offer free-shipping on any of their orders, so this free-shipping madness offer is one that is not only rare but quite a good deal too.

Forever 21 Canada’s spring sale is already overspilling with great deals on dresses, skirts, shorts, accessories and much more, but when you combine these deals with their online promo code, where you can take an additional 30% off already reduced merchandise, the sale becomes even more enticing. This online promo code, aptly named, SPRING30, will only be available until March 25th and it can only be used on sale items – not including Spring Break Deal items or Weekly Specials.

One of my favourite spring layering pieces are blazers, as they can be worn either to dress down a formal outfit (especially if the blazer is of the collarless variety) or worn to dress up a casual pair of shorts or capris to make your outfit more evening approved. This collarless royal blue blazer is currently on sale for $28.99, down from the original price of $41.90. When you use the online promo code, SPRING30, the blazer is then further reduced to being just $21.90, which is nearly half the price that it was originally being sold for.

Another fun option for the spring time is of course stripes. The only difference within this ribbed knit striped dress, as opposed to the typical striped pieces you see in the spring time, is that the striping on the dress is ribbed. The popping out effect of this dress gives the piece a texture that has a modern appeal, that trumps the more traditional striped dresses you see at this time of year by far. With the extra 30% off, this dress will only cost you $9.10 (regularly $18.90).

Forever 21 Canada offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $60.

Addition Elle Canada is offering you a chance betweenn now and April 19th to receive a $50 coupon code when you make any purchase online. This $50 coupon code will be applicable on any purchase of $100 or more made between April 29th and May 17th.

While you very well could shop within the sale stock, which I highly advise you check out before placing your final order, I thought it would be fun to use the code on some of the new dresses being offered at Addition Elle. It would be even more relevant to shop within the dresses section if you are planing on attending any wedding this spring or summer, as this does seem to be the most popular season for such occasions.

I was able to find two great options for wedding season, one which is better suited for a more casual ceremony, the v-neck fit and flare dress, and the other which would fit in better within a more formal context, specifically if the invitation requests black tie. Both of these stunning dresses are stating at $95, but if you buy a smaller purchase now and then use your future $50 off coupon code in the future you could get both of these dresses for just $140.

Addition Elle Canada only offers a flat-rate shipping fee of $7.50.

During the IKEA Canada dining event, you can shop in-store and purchase any three dining chairs that you want and pick up your 4th chair for free. This is a sweet deal since you’ll be getting essentially a full four seat set for the price of just 3 chairs. This event will be running at IKEA from now until March 29th, and there are a number of other dining related offers running in-store as well that you can check out the full details about online here in this week’s flyer.

If you’re looking for inexpensive chairs to pick up in this offer from IKEA, the Lerhamn chair is only $39 and is also comes in a light antique wash, should you prefer a lighter stain for your dining room chairs.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada is having one of their fabulous family and friends events where you can save up to 20% off, if you are shopping online with your Hudson’s Bay MasterCard or Hudson’s Bay Credit Card. For everyone else who is shopping online, between now and March 24th, you can use the promo code, FRIENDS, to receive an additional 15% off your purchase.

You’ll be able to use this discount on nearly everything online at the Hudson’s Bay, including already reduced merchandise. For instance, they are currently selling Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger dress shirts for just $49.99 and other ties and dress shirts from other brands for up to 25% off the regular price. You could shop within this sale, and still use your 15%/20% off discount on these already reduced styles to nearly double your savings.

Within this sale, I was able to find this paisley Tommy Hilfiger tie in a brilliant shade of cerulean blue for just $39.99, though it was normally being sold for $65. With the extra 15% off it will be reduced to just $33.99, and if you’re shopping with an HBC MasterCard or Credit Card, it will be reduced to just $32.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada offers free-shipping online on all orders that exceed $99.

Just in time for Easter, Target Canada has begun to mark down their toy section where they have now reduced all of the toys to being 50% off their original price. Of course, the prices may still not be competitive with other retailers (e.g. Sears, Walmart, Amazon.ca, etc.) so be sure to do a bit of research before locking down on a purchase from Target as there will be no returns given on purchase made during the liquidation sale.

For today only, Starbucks Canada will be offering their Rewards Members in Canada a chance to pick up a FREE pastry when you purchase any beverage with your registered Starbucks card between 2-5pm today. Starbucks has been running this ‘Raise a Cup to Monday’ promotion for the month of March, offering a new deal for their members each Monday between the hours of 2-5pm.

Signing-up to become a Starbucks Rewards member is easy, simply follow this link and register your Starbucks card (which you can pick up at a local Starbucks cafe) and reload a minimum of $5 onto your card and you can begin qualifying for these freebies and bonuses. Even if you just use the card for this month to receive the next two offers, you’ll still be saving yourself some money (as the pastries at Starbucks do not come cheap!)

You will not be able to use the free pastry offer today on breakfast sandwiches, but other than that everything is fair game. I’d suggest trying out one of the new pastries from the Starbucks La Boulange lineup, as I hear they are quite delectable.

Joe Fresh Canada rarely offers sweet deals like this one, especially without needing to enter an additional promo code, but right now you can receive free-shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase required or even a coupon code. You simply must shop online between now and March 27th at 4am EST and your order will automatically receive the discount for standard shipping fees.

Normally, you would have to spend $50 or more online to qualify for the free-shipping offer at Joe Fresh Canada. With that in mind then, it would make most sense for you to try to keep your order below this limit to maximize your savings from this offer.

This week at Chapters Indigo Canada, the list of deals they are offering have a great range of diversity in them. For instance, for today and tomorrow only you can save 47% off on Nigel Barker’s recent expose, Models of Influence (now only $25.65), or on the other side of the spectrum, you can save 42% off on Robert Munsch Collections, which are now only $15 (was $24.99).

The Robert Munsch Collection sale will be available until March 30th and it will include four different anthologies which will feature some of Robert Munsch’s favourite characters from his famous kids books. If I were to choose between the four anthologies, I’d go with Munsch More!: A Robert Munsch Collection as it includes my all-time favourite Robert Munsch book, Alligator Baby.

There are also a number of other deals that will be running at Chapters until the end of the month, but you should keep in mind that they will also be running a promo code alongside these deals that will save you an extra $5 off on regular priced items when you spend $50 or more online and enter the promo code, NEWINMARCH. This promo code is not much, but if you are spending a lot of money then every little bit helps. This promo code, like most of the deals, will only be available until March 31st, 2015.
