Using the promo code, BRCWEEKEND, you can save 40% off on your total purchase when you shop either online or in-store at Banana Republic Canada. This is an almost half-off discount and it will only be sticking around until Monday, January 19th.

The discount, while it can be applied to sale merchandise, does not apply to the following products:

• GiftCards
• packaging, shipping and handling
• BR Picks, BR Monogram Collection
• 100% Cashmere and leather apparel
• men’s suit jackets and men’s blazers
• designer collections & collaborations
• and third party branded merchandise

While the ladies all love a good striped top or skirt to get them looking forward to spring, I feel like for men the gingham pattern is the equivalent in terms of wishful-warmer-weather hoping. At Banana Republic, they have this brilliant slim-fitting purple western shirt for just $56.99, but with your extra 40% off it will just be $34.19 (regularly $85).

Banana Republic will offer free-shipping on orders that exceed $50, but if you are below this minimum then you will have to pay $8 for shipping (so perhaps if you’re just picking up one, smaller priced item then check to see if it’s in-store first).

Sears Canada has corrected the prices on their mattress and sleep set sale, with the prices now starting as low as $200 for a double bed size tight-top sleep set.

In addition to the correctly priced mattresses and sleep sets on sale at Sears, you can combine these offers with your extra savings coupon that will give you $50 off on any sale items above $200 or $20 off on any sale items over $100. Since all of these mattress sets are $200 and up, the only savings coupon that would work is the $50 off code, which is: 941612154.

Here’s a sampling of some of the deals on sleep sets that you can find going on at Sears right now, but don’t be discouraged to do your own digging!

• Simmons Deepsleep ”High Profile” ‘Frazer’ Tight-Top Mix And Match Sleep Set- Queen/King, now $250
• Sealy Posturepedic ”Hepburn” Tight Top Mattress Queen, now $431.99

Planning a weekend getaway anytime between January 21st and March 31st, 2015 for a destination that’s within Canada? If so, then you should probably check out VIA Rail Canada’s sale they’re having this weekend until January 22nd, where they have reduced their economy rates by 50% off. These options would definitely be cheaper than flying, and if you’re not too pressed for time, then they could really be worth your while.

If you’re doing a long-haul trip, you have even more flexibility with when you book, as VIA Rail is extending it for these trips until May 31st, 2015. You will also have to purchase your ticket 5 days in advance to the day that you’re travelling, but other than that the options are pretty flexible!

I was able to find a round trip ticket in this deal from VIA Rail to Montreal from Toronto leaving in two weeks for just $99; plus, with VIA Rail you won’t have to pay for your checked bag or carry-on bag (like most airlines do nowadays).

Soon to be a motion pictures starring Colin Firth, the popular comic series, Kingsman: The Secret Service by author Mark Millar (also known for his work in the comic book series Watchmen and Kick Ass) is now on sale in paperback edition at Chapters Indigo Canada for just $7.97 (regularly $13.99).

The Kingsman: The Secret Service series follows a secret agent and his nephew, who is on a pathway of self-destruction until his uncle takes him under his wing to begin training him as the next generation’s greatest spy. Though I cannot personally attest to the quality of this comic book series, the reviews from both Goodreads and Amazon.ca cannot sing enough praises for this book.

The feature film of Kingsman: The Secret Service is going to be released in February 2015, so you still have some time to order a copy from Chapters and receive it in time to finish reading it before all the spoilers are leaked out by movie-goers!

Stripes are on parade (and on sale) during Old Navy Canada’s weekend sale of 50% off sitewide and storewide with the only exclusions being on select pieces of merchandise. This sale is set to last until this Monday, January 19th after which all of the new arrivals and regular priced merchandise will shoot back up to their regular price.

A reoccurring pattern and theme within Old Navy’s new arrivals section, as it is with most retailers during this time of year when we’re are looking forward to spring so desperately, was stripes. Though instead of paying an arm and a leg to stay ahead of the trends this season, you can shop stripes at Old Navy this weekend for 50% off their regular price, thus making some pieces drop below the $10 mark.

You have the option to go either full-stripe, in pieces like this women’s striped jersey dress (now just $16), or if you’re looking for a striped piece that you can actually wear right now without freezing your legs off you could pick up a striped black and white scoop-neck sweater-knit for just $13 (was $26.94). Even cheaper than that, is the striped relaxed slub-knit pocket tee, which was originally $14.50 but is now just $6.

These are just a few examples from the 50% off sale at Old Navy, but there are still bundles of men’s, kids and baby sales going on that would be worth your while to check out this weekend.

It’s back at Starbucks Canada! The Starbucks Treat Receipt promo is back and can I just say, it is one of my favourite times of year at Starbucks (next to Frappucino Happy Hour) as it makes it so that your afternoon grande sized hot or cold beverage is just $3. This deal only really makes sense if you were to get a more extravagant drink for your afternoon treat, i.e. a grande size pike place would not make sense since these are already under $3.

The best way to take advantage of this offer from Starbucks, is to go in the morning and grab the cheapest menu item you can find (the oat bars are usually around a dollar, and would cover your breakfast as well) or even a short medium-roast, which is also around a dollar (depending upon the taxes in your province). Keep your receipt from the morning, before 11:30am, and then bring it in again in the afternoon after 2pm and order the biggest and best drink you can find on the menu.

My recommendations include, a solo, grande, extra-hot, Tazo Chai latte (the solo adds an extra shot of espresso to the drink, which is usually an extra $0.60 but will be nixed as all grande size beverages are $3 standard). Or, if you’re brave enough to sip on something cold, then you could really make your money back by ordering a grande size frappucino, which are normally the bigger ticket items at Starbucks.

The treat receipt offer at Starbucks is only on for a limited time, so take advantage while you can!

Alfred Hitchcock, the director who, more or less, all modern mystery is modelled on has had three of his most iconic films remastered and combined onto one Blu-Ray disc that is currently being sold on Amazon.ca for just $10.49. The Classic Collection: Alfred Hitchcock, which will include Spellbound, Notorious, and Rebecca, is normally sold for $69.99 making this a savings of close to $60.

All of the films included in this bundle are exceptional examples of Hitchcock’s genius, but Rebecca is the only of his creations to have received an Oscar for best-picture. The film includes two outstanding performances by Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine who play out a gothic tale of murder and suspense.

Notorious and Spellbound are equally suspenseful in terms of espionage thrillers, and include some of old Hollywood’s greatest actors and actresses performances; Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Gregory Peck to name a few.

Amazon.ca offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $25, so if you can find a filler item to bring your total to above $25 then I’d suggest you check out the selection of hot deals on Amazon right now.
