The Source Canada has overstocked their sale with some simply wonderful deals, with savings of up to 60% off the original retail price on some of the hottest tech gear of 2014. While some of the pieces that are included in this sale are being sold as refurbished or ‘open box’, the quality inside will be meet the Source’s standards of their brand new products as well. And if the open box products don’t meet your expectations for some reason or another, there is a 1-year warranty that will protect you from being cheated out on your hard earned money.

Some of the open box items are, in my opinion at least, some of the better deals around on some really hot items, like the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite 13.3″ Touchscreen laptop which is now just $479.96. Since the product will be coming from an open box, you’ll be getting to save yourself $350.03 as the laptop normally sells for $829.99.

I’ve compiled a list of some of the hotter deals in this overstock sale, but I can’t guarantee that each of these products will hang around until the sale ends on January 28th as there are a limited number of quantities of each product (especially on the open box and refurbished products).

• Brother MFC-J4310DW Business Smart Inkjet All-In-One Printer ‘Open-Box’, now $29.96 (was $169.99)
• Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart Watch- Black – Refurbished, now $89.98 (was $329.99)
• Gateway SX2185-ER33 Desktop PC With AMD A4-5000, 1TB HDD, 4GB Ram – Open Box, now $249.96 (was $399.99)
• Fujita Xtreme HD Lite Sports Action Waterproof Camera, now $69.99 (was $119.99)
• Acer Aspire A5600U-ER12 All-In-One Desktop PC With Intel I5 3230, 1TB HDD + 20GB SSD, 8GB Ram, now $679.96 (was $999.99)
• Samsung EH5000 46″ 1080P LED HDTV, now $549.99 (was $854.99)
• Nikon D3200 24.2MP DSLR Camera Bundle With Hiker Bag, 18-55MM VR Lens and 55-300MM VR Lens, now $679.96 (was $949.95)

Target has just confirmed the rumours that they are leaving Canada.  This morning, Target announced that it will be closing its Canadian stores and filing for creditor protection in Canada effective immediately.

From the press information, I expect to see the store closings similar to when Zellers closed, with some closing earlier and liquidating their stock to other stores in the area until they all close.

For those worried about employees, they are asking that their creditor protection agreement includes a minimum of 16 weeks of compensation, including wages and benefits coverage for employees who are not required for the full wind-down period to give their team members time to find new jobs. Target Canada stores will remain open during the liquidation process.

The CEO had this to say about leaving Canada: “While we made some recent progress, the changes were not enough to inspire the guest to shop Target. The losses were just too great. Given that the holiday season is our busiest time of the year, we evaluated our fourth quarter performance carefully and unfortunately didn’t see the step change in our performance we needed to see.”

Are you sorry to see Target go?  While I agree, they had a long way to go, I will miss the clean stores and some of the product lines that cannot be found elsewhere.

It will be interesting to see who takes over the stores, most were built or renovated so are in great condition, but for the ones in my area, there is a Walmart nearby each of them, so I can’t see them wanting them as some news stories claim.

Bath and Body Works Canada has rounded up some great deals for us Canadians, and on top of all their current promotions they are also going to be giving you an extra savings pass that will give you an additional 20% off on your entire purchase when you shop in-store. This coupon, which must be surrendered upon payment, will be valid from January 14th until Sunday, January 18th.

I’d suggest shopping in-store for these deals, especially since Bath and Body Works tends to dock you on the fees at checkout since they’re shipped from the U.S. Plus, that way you can actually sample some of the offers before locking into a scent that you’ve never tried before!

The full list of deals going on in-store right now at Bath and Body Works, apart from the up to 75% off on select sale items, are as follows:

• select 3-wick candles are 2 for $25.50
• select signature collection body care are just $3
• select hand soaps are $3 each

Here’s a healthier alternative from Kitchen Stuff Plus Canada that is sure to grab the attention of those soda drinkers who may be trying to kick their habit this 2015. The alternative that I speak of so highly, that has also been reduced to a rather favourable price, is the Sodastream Carbonating Machine (available in stainless steel and black) which is now on sale for just $99 (normally selling for $149).

While you can instantly carbonate beverages using one of the dozens of flavours sold by Sodastream, what I find beneficial about this product is that you can also instantly carbonate water – meaning you can still quench your bubbly craving while consuming something that’s actually proven to be good for you: water.

What’s also great about this particular offer is that it is $30 cheaper than the other deals going on around the web. For instance, on Lowe’s Canada the same model is being sold for $129, which is also how much the home retailer, Sodastream.ca, is selling the Sodastream for.

Shipping and handling at Kitchen Stuff Plus will be free on orders that exceed $75, which the Sodastream does!

Sears Canada has an awesome savings on this old-fashioned Dubble Bubble gumball bank, now 50% off the original price of $69.99 at just $34.99.

The Dubble Bubble old school gumball bank will also come with an authentic looking 37-inch stand so you can have the option to either set your gumball bank on the counter or have it stand on its own in the corner. The set will also come included with 1 pound of Dubble Bubble gum balls to start your toy out right.

If you could use some relief from a dry or sore throat, then the perfect coupon for you has just become available through our SmartCanucks SmartSource printable coupon portal. Save $2 on the purchase of any 2 Halls bags, in the 15-30 drop size, with this new printable coupon.

Halls come in a much wider variety these days than the cherry and menthol flavours. You can now get them in sugar free options, non mentholated options, and varieties that contain 100% of your daily requirement of vitamin C. Actually that melon flavour in the picture above looks pretty intriguing. I am not a fan of the really strong cough drops, like the black death flavour!

All of the SmartSource printables available through our portal have a limit of two prints per computer. Generally, these printables will have an expiry date of one month from the time of printing. Also, some of these coupons disappear in a flash, so if you see something you are interested in, don’t hesitate to print it.

Did you make a resolution to get fit in 2015?  Jawbone’s entry level Jawbone Up is half price at Future Shop today and will track your calories burned, steps and even how well you sleep – a great way to make you more accountable to your goal.

The UP is charged by USB (a charge can last up to ten days) and uses the same app as the newer models, so you get all the data you need.  It can also sync to MyFitnessPal and most other tracking and weight loss apps. The silent alarm system can also be set to wake you up a little earlier, but not too much, if it notices an optimal time in your sleep pattern that will make you feel rested when you wake and an idle alert that reminds you that you have been sitting too long!

Unlike many trackers, the Jawbone UP has a fixed band size, not an adjustable sport strap so you need to decide what size to buy (currently all sizes are available in blue and black at Future Shop).  Just measure around your wrist and choose from the sizing shown below.

While affordable, there are lots of features lacking in the Up if you are a fitness enthusiast and want extra features like heart rate monitoring, elevation etc.  The newer models are also on sale, but at regular sale prices, $119 for the Jawbone UP24.

1800Flowers.ca is offering you early birds trying to get your Valentine’s Day presents done now a 15% off promo code on all orders placed between January 15th and January 31st. All you have to do to qualify for this promo code, which will apply to the entire site, is enter in the promo code, VDAY15, at checkout.

While red roses are the go-to flower for Valentine’s Day and almost everything romance related, I find the simple elegance of pink roses to be much more sentimental and much less cliche. And if you are finding yourself pressed for your budget this year, then you can order a classic and tasteful single stem pink rose from 1800Flowers.ca for just $19.99, or with your extra savings promo code it will only be $16.99.

Note that if you are placing an order, shipping will be an extra $4.99 for a Valentine’s Day delivery and shipping charges are normally around $14, so perhaps opt to have a Friday delivery instead of the big day to save yourself some cash.
