Did your Target Canada location still have plenty of Christmas clearance left? If so, you may want to make a mad dash there this morning and start giving those scanners a workout, as some of our members are reporting that items have now dropped to 90% off. Of course the remaining items will vary by store, and some may not have anything left at all, particularly busy locations. However, if there was something you were after it may be worth a shot. There were bigger ticket items such as Christmas trees left at certain locations so that would definitely be a fantastic score at 90% off.

Do not forget the other great mark downs currently going on. Much of the clearance toys are now 70% off, although some may still be 30%-50%. Just make sure to scan the items and double check the price.

If you still have a Target register coupon for 10% off your entire purchase from Boxing Day, make sure to use that up as well as they expire in the next couple of days.

You can read about clearance finds in our official forum thread found here, and be sure to let us know about your own finds!

Walmart Canada has added some hot new Transformers toys to both their rollback and clearance section, but stock on these items is selling out fast. Having checked through the list of toys included as of this posting though, there were still some really good deals to be bought.

Some of the action figures in this sale are going for over 50% off, like the Transformers Age of Extinction Dino Sparkers Optimus Prime and Grimlock Figures which is now being sold for just $6 (was $13.93).

Other Transformer toys included in this sale that you can order online include:

• Transformers Age of Extinction Bumblebee vs. Decepticon Stinger with Strafe Figures, now $24.92 (was $31.92)
• Transformers Age of Extinction Dino Sparkers Autobot Drift and Dinobot Slug Figures, now $6 (was $13.93)
• Transformers Age of Extinction Dino Sparkers Bumblebee and Strafe Figures, now $6 (was $13.93)
• Transformers Age of Extinction Generations Leader Class Grimlock Figure, now $43.36 (was $54.92)
• Transformers Platinum Edition Predaking Figure, now $99.87 (was $139.97)

Quantities in this sale are for sure to sell out fast, as there were 15 different products to choose from at the beginning of this sale but now there are just the 7 that I have listed.

Walmart Canada offers free-shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase required.

Dairy Queen Canada will be having their annual customer appreciation day in the next coming weeks, and depending on your local store, it will fall on either Wednesday, January 21st or on Saturday, January 24th. Though they are yet to update the Canadian site with the participating locations, if you call your nearest Dairy Queen location they will have probably been given the dates for their store to confirm when and if they will be part of the promotion.

You can use your 50% off customer appreciation discount on almost anything in-store, including both hot and cold treats, though I know I personally would go for their current running promotional Blizzard of the Month: The Birthday Cake Oreo Blizzard.

Technology is getting so ‘smart’ nowadays, especially within the world of kitchen appliances, that soon you may be able to remove the cook entirely from the kitchen (at least I hope not, for my brother’s, the chef, sake). If you take a look at the recent generation of Instant Pot’s, the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth-Enabled Multifunctional Pressure Cooker you’ll understand why one would begin to see where technology is heading in terms of cooking without needing to actually be present.

This Instant Pot Smart multifunctional cooker not only has 7 built in different cooking modes (pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, saute, steamer, and yogurt maker) but also includes 14 different micro-processor controlled programs:

• meat/stew
• soup
• saute
• poultry
• bean/chili
• steam
• multigrain
• porridge
• rice and slow cook
• keep-warm
• yogurt
• pasteurize
• fermented rice

What sets this Instant Pot Smart model apart from its predecessors, which have already been met with rave reviews, is that it can be programmed with specific scripts for each cook’s individual recipes – all of which can be controlled through your iPhone/iPad (Android will be available in March 2015). Simply download the app, and you can either download previously loaded scripts or create your own script which can include up to 15 steps that will determine the time, temperature and pressure you wish to cook for at each stage.

While this Instant Pot pressure cooker is a tad more pricey than the previous models, the convenience and control supplied through the smart technology is something that gives it that extra edge and, in my opinion, justifies the extra money. Plus, when you use the promo code, hipipot, at the check out you will receive $60 off your Instant Pot Smart, making it cost just $229.95 USD (in Canadian, that would be about $271.83). This promo code will only be available for the next two weeks.

Instant Pot offers free-shipping for all orders placed within Canada and the U.S.

Teavana Canada’s semi-annual sale will be finishing up this Sunday, January 11th and in this sale you can find a wide selection of products that have recently been added, including 30 new teas and excellent accessories for transporting your morning cup of tea to and from the office.

These Teavana Contour Tumblers, which are still available in each of these bright and cheery colours, are now 30% off at just $23.07 and would work well to keep your coffee or tea piping hot on the morning commute this winter.

Or if you’re not a hot beverage kind of person, then you can still keep your tea or iced beverage nice and cool in this easily transportable (and super cute) recycled glass iced tea tumbler with a reusable straw. This tumbler was originally being sold for $12.95, but is now just $9.07.

Teavana offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $50, but if you’re just picking up a smaller product (like a loose leaf tea) then I’d suggest heading into the retail store where the sale is also going on.

If you’re having difficulty falling asleep, which ultimately results in sleep deprivation, this can really disrupt your entire routine and put a hold on getting almost anything accomplished. WebSaver.ca is currently coming to rescue us from our sleeping woes with these $2 off coupons on any Jamieson Melatonin product.

These powerful little vitamins will help you naturally fall into a peaceful doze without the fogginess of other more potent over the counter sleep aids. Plus, since you’ll be saving $4 collectively, it will be a much cheaper alternative than investing in any other sleep aid.

This is an amazing promo code offer from Banana Republic Canada, that when you enter, BRCSALE, you will receive an extra 60% off on sale items which have already been reduced, in some cases, 50% off. This offer will only be available online until January 10th, 2015.

If you check out the sale section, you’ll see that there is a great variety of dresses that have been recently added to the collection (most of which are rather holiday themed looking), but if you dig a little deeper I’m sure you’ll find something that meets your current needs. For instance, this striped French Terry Dress is something I could see being worn now with opaque tights, but later paired with an embellished pair of flats in the spring time for a playful Parisian look. The dress is also on sale for just $36 after the promo code was applied to it, though the original retail value was $134.

Alternatively, if you’re completely over winter apparel (as I know some of us are) then you can shop the new arrivals and regular priced items at Banana Republic and use the promo code, BRCBLUE, to receive an extra 30% off. The only restrictions on this promo code offer is that it cannot be used on:

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

This sale will be available to online shoppers until January 10th, 2015 but for in-store shoppers you can redeem it until January 12th.
