If you don’t already recognize this sinister smiling trivia wheel, then you can count yourself lucky (or at least your drive to get things done in a timely manner will be thanking you), as this free app, aptly named Trivia Crack, from the Amazon App Store will quickly zap hours of your time without anything to show for it but a couple of wins against your friends and family. That being said, it is a fabulously fun app that will test your knowledge of geography, pop culture and science in a fun game that is also free.

There are quite a few apps like these available at the Amazon App Store that are currently being offered for free, with some of them serving the only purpose to waste your time, while others are quite useful and can actually be implemented into your everyday life in a rather productive way.

The Food Substitutes app is such an app that could be useful for everyone. From the everyday novice cooker to the more advanced pastry chef, this Food Substitute app will give you ingredients and equivalent measurements to substitute common cooking products that you may be out of stock of, or are cooking for someone with an allergy to a recipe’s specific ingredient. This app is valued to be worth $0.99, but can downloaded at the app store for free today.

Another more practical app from Amazon’s list of freebies is the OfficeSuite Professional 8, which is normally sold for $19.99 but can be downloaded right now for, you guessed it, free!

The OfficeSuite Professional 8 gives you the option to work on your projects from the office from the leisure of your smart phone. Be it on the morning commute, or when you’re at home, you can access your documents via Cloud services like Amazon Cloud Drive, Box, DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive and SugarSync. The free offer on this app is definitely not going to be around for long, so if you find yourself without this amazing service I’d suggest you click here to download your version of OfficeSuite today.

There is simply no better way to show the one you care about this Valentine’s Day then by giving them some much needed TLC for their aching joints and muscles. And ff you were to purchase your package through Groupon Canada right now, you could also give your bank account some TLC, as they have an extra savings promo code on all local facials and massages.

The promo code, which has been appropriately named CALM10, will be running until February 13th at 11:59pm EST and will give you an extra $10 off on any massage or facial package that you book within the promotional period. Since most of these packages are already discounted by up to 50%-95% off, you could really be saving yourself a fair chunk of change on a holiday that tends to break our already overly exercised wallets (Christmas was just 7 weeks ago…).

What’s even better about this promo code is that you’ll be able to use this code on three separate Groupons – but they will have to be purchased on separate orders (i.e. you won’t be able to do it all under one transaction).

Also, as a little tip off, be sure to check out the reviews on the spa and service you are purchasing with Groupon. While most of the time they are pretty good, there are the rare few that turn up as quite negatively reviewed on some forums. Yelp tends to be the most helpful with this, or a simple Google search engine will generally turn up any negative reviews.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada, one of my personal favourite department stores, not only for their prices, but also for their wide selection of designer brand names which are (usually) brought down to more palatable prices than what you will find elsewhere (or even online). Today’s deal, the 35% off on select women’s tops sale, is no different on the theme of saving you money while looking super stylish while doing so.

The best tops for this season, as you may have season on the runways this past fall, are the voluminous and lightweight seventies style blouses. Think big, soft sleeves, that nip in at the wrist to give you a more feminine “Saturday Night Fever”-esque look. This Sam Edelman Floral Print Top hits right on trend, with the 3/4 length sleeves flirting with the full on seventies look, and the back button detail adding a subtle delicacy to the overall look. The top was normally being sold for $99, but has just been brought down for today to $64.35.

This Jessica Simpson tunic is also trying out the bigger sleeved look, but is adding an infusion of modernism to the look by applying a sheer fabric to the blouse which is further emphasized by the double barrel cuffs. Normally, a tunic like this would sell for $54, but right now can be purchased for just $35.10.

If you’re not as willing to plunge head first into the seventies full-figure blouse trend, and are more attuned to sticking with the ‘classics’, then you can still play up your wardrobe this spring with a faux layering shirt, like this Tommy Hilfiger Striped top. The shirt seems to have the effect of two shirts being layered, but is in fact just one shirt with an underlay of fabric to give the appearance. This is great since a) it usually doesn’t look this good when you do your own layering and b) you will only have to buy one shirt, but will gain the look of having two tops. Normally, this top would cost $99.50, but is currently on sale for just $64.48.

The Hudson’s Bay Canada offers free-shipping on orders that exceeds $99, or you can also shop these deals in-store.

KFC Canada has rolled out two hot new deals for the KFC Colonel’s Club which will be available to take advantage of up until February 15th, 2015. The two offers they have going on right now are applicable for you whether you’re eating for one, or feeding the whole family.

The first one is being marketed as the ‘Family Meal Deal’, where you can receive 20% off on any feast (both original and variety buckets included). This deal really would be best to use on larger orders, and whether your large order is being spent on watching a sports games with your buddies, or feeding a houseful of ravenous children after their long week of soccer and hockey practises, in the end you’ll still be saving money.

The second offer that KFC is running in the Colonel Club this week is probably best catered towards single servings, for the nights when you just can’t gather the energy to turn on the oven (hey, it happens!). The ‘Individual Meal Deal’ will give you an entire Big Box meal for just $7.99 (plus applicable taxes).

To become a member of the Colonel’s Club, you will first have to download the app on either Google Play or the iTunes store, after which you will begin reaching deals instantly – all of which is free might I add. To redeem your coupons, you will simply have to present them to an employee at a participating KFC on your smart phone and your savings will automatically be applied.

Amazon.ca has made themselves quite well known for their hot DVD and Blu-Ray deals, but the best-selling classics sale that they’re having right now is probably (in my opinion) one of the better ones they’ve had since Christmas. The best-selling classics in this collection range in complexity from the 1939 Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Gone With The Wind, to the innocent and charming tales of Charles Schulz’s iconic cartoon character, Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

A cherished feature that I am sure you will enjoy, if you haven’t seen this mini epic yet, is the novel converted feature film, Gone With The Wind. The 70th Anniversary DVD set of this first ever to be shot in colour movie is currently on sale for just $11.99, though it was regularly sold for $24.95.

Another timeless piece of cinematic history is Stephen King’s 1975 thriller, which was so convincing it may have forced us all out of the water – or at least caused a moment of hesitation before entering deep ocean tides – for a couple months after viewing the film Jaws. Originally, this DVD was being sold for $14.99, but right now can be purchased on Amazon.ca for just $4.88 (a remarkable 67% off).

And you all have probably read this high-school classic more than a few decades ago, but perhaps have yet to see the film version, which stars one of old Hollywood’s greatest actors, Gregory Peck. To Kill a Mockingbird has recently been gaining some unwarranted attention, with Harper Lee’s (the author of the original book) releasing of a new sequel to the original story. Now you can catch up on the old one, To Kill a Mockingbird, for just $8.88 (was $14.99) before heading out to pick up the most recent installation on Atticus Finch’s life beyond Mockingbird.

Amazon.ca offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $25, so I’d suggest stacking a couple of these timeless films so you can also qualify for free-shipping – plus, you’re guaranteed to love them all, as they aren’t called ‘classics’ for no reason!
