Mexx has also announced that it is closing all Canadian stores after filing for bankruptcy protection last month.

Unlike Target’s four to five month liquidation plan, Mexx will close all of its stores by the end of February, so expect closing sales soon.  Mexx has said that 25 stores will close this week, so if you love their clothes, check out your local store for deals soon to get an idea of the closing date.

Their head office and distribution centre will close around the same time, another loss of 1700+ retail jobs for Canadians across the stores and offices.

Here is a coupon that frequently comes and goes from WebSaver.ca, that has once again returned. Save $1 on the purchase of any Gardein product with this coupon that can either be printed immediately, or mailed to the address associated with your account. Gardein is a line of vegan and vegetarian foods, with plenty of options to choose from.

I’m really glad they added another mailed coupon because I have had a couple of coupons saved for a while because I did not have four that I was able to select in order to complete my order. If you are in the same boat then maybe this coupon will help you out!

If you choose to print the coupon you will be permitted to print only one per account, with a maximum of two per computer.

Everyone loves a good buy-one-get-one event, and the current offer of getting 50% off on your second item at Lowe’s Canada is sure to deliver on all fronts. This event includes almost all of the products sold at Lowe’s including tools, appliances, building materials, outdoor and home decor.

And while most of the deals that are going on at Lowe’s will give you 50% on the second item, there are some chances to snag a freebie as well. When you buy the set of Kobalt 15-Amp 10-in Table Saw and a Kobalt 7-1/4-in 9-Amp Sliding Laser Compound Miter Saw, you will only have to pay for the 15-amp table saw as the second one will come for free. That is a savings of $149, since the Cobalt 15-Amp table saw will only cost you $299 (was $329).

Some more deals worth checking out during this buy-one-get-one event at Lowe’s include:

• buy one First Alert Carbon Monoxide Detector, and get the second FREE; or buy one for 50% off ($25)
• buy one Alaskan 5kg Premium Ice Melter, and get the second FREE; or buy one for 50% off ($4)
• buy a Frigidaire 3.8-cu-ft Front-Load Washer (White) ENERGY STAR, and get a Frigidaire 7-cu-ft Electric Dryer (White) for 50% off, now only $997 (save $299)

This event at Lowe’s will only be going on until January 21st, 2015, and if you’re shopping online know that the cost of shipping has already been calculated into the products total price.

Dynamite Canada is giving us shoppers some splendid last minute deals this weekend on their already reduced merchandise, giving you an extra 25% off when you use the promo code, GIMME25, at checkout. This offer will be running until January 16th at 11:59pm EST and will be exclusive to online shoppers.

If you’re looking to spend very little at Dynamite, then I’d suggest the accessories sale section to make your deals even sweeter, as most of the products have already been marked down to just $5. These Mesh earrings were originally being sold for $9.90, then were marked down to nearly 50% off at $5. After applying the promo code, they were further brought down to $3.75.

And if you’re looking to spend a little more, and are perhaps wanting to channel Emma Stone circa Golden Globes 2015, then you could pick up this lace detailed jumpsuit for just $26.25 (was $59.90).

Dynamite is full of these deals, but sizes and availability of each style will not remain in stock for very long (as of this posting there were only 5 jumpsuits left!) And remember, since this is an online only sale you will have to take into consideration what the shipping and handling will be on your order, which at Dynamite is free if you spend over $50 and is $9 if you spend under that.

Head on over to Joe Fresh Canada online, where you can save up to 30% extra off on all online stock, where pieces have already been marked down by up to 50% off. The prices in this sale have already been applied to the merchandise, including the additional 30% off, and these extra markdowns will only be around online until January 18th.

There are some amazing deals within this online sale, with some pieces being reduced to almost 70% off their original retail price! You can grab camis and sleep tanks for as little as $3.50 and fleece sweaters for just $6.25.

What I thought was one of the better deals available at Joe Fresh, was on their workout gear – which I generally find is already modestly priced – but in this sale the pieces drop to exceptionally low (even by Joe Fresh standards!)

I was able to pick up an entire three-piece workout outfit for just $38.91, starting with a lightly lined sports bra for just $9 (a 25% markdown from it’s previous sale price of $12) and a dark blue active space dye sweater for just $15.95 (was $29). I then combined these items with a pair of charcoal active space dye leggings for just $13.96 (regularly $39), with the total outfit costing $41.09 less than it would normally be.

Joe Fresh Canada offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $50, otherwise it will be a flat fee of $8 so depending on your orders size it may make sense to fill your basket with some filler items to meet the free-shipping minimum.

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)

The Source Canada will offer free-shipping on orders that exceed $25, or you can have the item shipped to your nearest store for free as well.

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. This is a retro apartment furnishing that will surely make your home feel like a 1950’s diner, and if you’ve got kids around they’ll love the fun of collecting coins from their weekly allowance (or from between the couch cushions) to treat themselves to some hard-earned candy.

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.
