I received a nice surprise the other morning when I was browsing through my e-mails to discover that Starbucks Canada will be offering a freebie for the winter rewards program, if you’re already a registered card member already that is. The rewards program, as the e-mail describes, will give you a free $4 eGift card when you buy 3 or more espresso drinks with your registered card between January 6th-January 12th.

$4 from Starbucks is enough to buy a couple of coffees, or one of those handcrafted espressos you would have purchased earlier to qualify for the card (as there is no restriction on what size the beverage has to be).

Your eGift card will be sent to you via e-mail by January 26th in which more directions pertaining to how the card can be used will be attached.

This offer may be an exclusive one that may only be available to certain card holders, but if you are a registered member of the Starbucks Reward program I’d suggest checking your e-mail just to be safe!

Sears Canada has been keeping their Boxing Week sale prices up for quite some time, but like everything else in life, all good things must come to an end, including Boxing Week sales. Today is your last chance to snatch up any of the deals you may have missed in the hectic swirl of post-holiday buzz, with select products being up to 45% off.

Sears is selling this Samsung Front Loading Super Capacity washer, measuring 4.8 cu. ft. it is one of the tallest front-loading washers on the market – making for a tumble cycle that is more effective overall. Plus, with the VRT technology your washer will be running so quietly you will barely notice that it is running (in addition to the fact that this unique technology also balances the drum to make for shorter wash times). The washer has currently been reduced to 40% off, and is now just $849.99 which means you’ll save a total of $550.

And for today only, you can pick up the Kenmore/MD 22 cu. ft. bottom freezer refrigerator for $600 off the original price, now just $999.99.

Sears isn’t just selling off their major appliances at Boxing Day prices, but they are also including some bedroom sets and larger furniture pieces as well at the 45% off discount. I was able to find this highly positive reviewed Simmons Beautyrest ”Boundless” Tight Top Mattress for $880 off the previous price of $1,599.99, as it is now only $719.99 for a double size mattress.

Sears Canada will continuing their extended Boxing Week sale until the end of the day, or if you’re shopping online then until 11:59pm EST.

Future Shop Canada is selling the Canon PIXMA All-in-One Inkjet Printer for $80 off the original listing price of $129.99, now being sold for just $49.99. You cannot pick this printer up at Best Buy Canada for the same price, which is often the case, as it is currently being sold for $10 more at $59.99 (the same price that NCIX.com is also offering).

Future Shop Canada is offering the most competitive pricing on the Canon PIXMA All-in-One Printer, but that shouldn’t be the only reason you’d wish to invest in this printer. This is a highly convenient printer that allows you to use your mobile device to print from almost anywhere, along with having PIXMA Printing Solutions (PPS) already installed on the printer, which ensures that you can both scan and print photos or documents from a compatible mobile device.

The sale on this printer will only be available until the end of the day at 11:59pm EST.

Future Shop will also ship this printer for free should you opt to purchase it online, however you can also check to see if this product is in stock at your local Future Shop.

Chapters Indigo Canada is carrying over their giving spirit into the New Year with some amazing deals and discounts on both children’s toys and seasonal Christmas decor. In both sections, products are starting at 50% off their original price, and, in some specific instances, being discounted up to 78% off.

One of the better finds within this sale at Chapters, was on the KidKraft Deluxe Fire Rescue Set which is now just $90 (an almost 50% discount from the previous listing of $179.95). What’s even better about the KidKraft Fire Rescue set, apart from the extensive details included in the hand crafted wooden set, is that it is probably the lowest price available on the market right now. After checking Costco.ca, Amazon.ca, and a site called CoolToysforTots.ca, I was able to determine that Chapters Indigo was offering the lowest price by at least $20.

And while most of us never want to see another jingle bell or mistletoe for at the very least another six months, nor even hear the mention of a string of garland, this sale on seasonal decor at Chapters may force you to break your pact to keep away from Christmas decorations. For instance, this White Porcelain Owl ornament is now just $2, which is a whopping 78% off the regular price of $9.50.

Indigo seemed to have a large selection of winter wonderland woodland creatures for their Christmas decor this year, as you can also pick up this felt brown bear ornament for 73% off the original price, now just $2.50.

Not all of these items are available for online purchase, so you may have to track them down at your nearest retail location (which just means you won’t have to pay for shipping and handling!)

Walmart Canada clearance sale is including these great Mainstays Tables for just $9.88 and $13.88, depending on which wash you decide to get your table in (as they are available in both espresso and white).

The first table, the espresso washed colour, is currently being sold for $9.88, marked down from $13.88. This would make for an excellent accent piece in your living room, or function well as a bedside table.

The white variety of the Mainstays Tablets from Walmart Canada is being sold for a little bit more, but just barely, at $13.88 (regularly $17.47). This white colour would obviously not be practical for a kids room, but perhaps would work well in your bathroom to store all those extra accessories and personal care items that don’t fit behind your mirror.

Walmart Canada offers free-shipping on these items, since there is no minimum fee for your order to qualify for free-shipping.

The Body Shop Canada has reduced almost all of their gift stock to be 50% off the original retail value. While some of the options may be pretty holiday intensive (*cough the Candy Cane Kisses package) there is a solid selection of skin care products that could be used (or even gifted!) year round.

I personally love the smell of coconut, as it brings back memories of sunscreen and by extension summer, and who wouldn’t want to be dreaming of a palm tree as they brave the windchill and the negative 22 degrees celsius conditions? This Coconut Festive Picks package at the Body Shop Canada is just the antidote you’ll need to kick your winter chills away (or at least lull you into a false sense of security), and it’s only being sold for $12.50 (regularly $25).

This Moringa Ultimate Luxuries collection is indulgence at its finest, the whole set containing 3 moisturizers, a fragrance eau de toilette and oil. This full set is valued at $80, and would normally cost $55, but right now you can pick it up for just $27.50.

A sweet little retreat, this Wild Argan Oil Beauty Bag contains all the spoils you’ll need to cleanse your dry and cracked winter skin, all of which is made from organic Community Fair-Trade argan oil from Morocco. The Body Shop normally sells this beauty bag for $15, but right now you can pick it up, or order it online, for just $7.50.

The 50% off on select gift is available in-store or online at the Body Shop, but keep in mind that orders before $50 will not qualify for the free-shipping.

This Saturday, January 10th and Sunday, January 11th when you’re doing your weekend errands, you should perhaps opt to do some of your weekly shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart Canada (or at least spend a minimum of $75 there on some of your weekly necessities) for if you do you will receive 2 free movie tickets for any Cineplex theatre.

The only restrictions on the products you can buy to meet your minimum qualifying spend of $75 is that the products cannot be:

• prescription purchases
• products with codeine
• insulin and select insulin products
• tobacco products
• stamps
• passport photos
• lottery tickets
• event tickets, transit tickets and passes
• electronic gift cards and prepaid phone cards

The ticket value of these movie passes from Shoppers Drug Mart is $25, which is always so shocking to hear as who doesn’t remember the time when movies were just $5?? If you do qualify to cash in on these freebies, I’d suggest taking yourself and a friend to see one of the year’s best movies, The Imitation Game. Already nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Motion Picture for the Golden Globes, The Imitation Game is possibly the best movie you could choose to spend your free movies passes on.

Winter blues got you down? Why not check out Eclipse Canada’s epic winter sale, for not just the fresh, new styles will cheer you up, but also the incredibly low prices on these pieces. The best selection of this sale, is probably within the outerwear collection where prices have been slashed, in some cases, over 50% off the original price tag.

It seems a little silly that Eclipse should already be reducing the prices on their outerwear stock, since there are still at least 3 long months of winter to look forward to (that is if our dear little groundhog friend doesn’t catch a glimpse of his shadow next month…) but I’m not complaining, especially at these prices. This long belted high collar wool look coat (also available in red and black) is being sold for just $59.99 – 50% off the usual retail price of $159.99.

And the always seasonal skinny pants are also being included in the winter sale at Eclipse Canada, where they are being sold for 60% off the regular price of $29.99, now just $12.99.

At the same price point as the skinny pants, is this sleek, streamlined pencil skirt which could work in the winter time as an office skirt with a pair of patterned tights and into the spring as well when you decide to ditch the panty hose!

Eclipse Canada offers free-shipping on orders that exceed $50, otherwise you will pay the flat-fee of $8.95.

As we now approach the end of the second week of 2015, a lot of our New Year’s resolutions may be starting to waiver (apparently, it takes two weeks for humans to make a habit ‘stick’). For those of us who made the agreement with ourselves to get more organized, and stay organized, then this offer this week from Ikea Canada may be just for you. Starting today until January 11th, all SVIRA organizers will be 30% off their original price.

There will be a limit of 2 articles per paying customer of each product, but you can still buy one of each (as there are three different organizing systems sold within the SVIRA collection).

The product from Ikea in this sale that I feel most of us could benefit from having around is the SVIRA hanging storage with 7 compartments (just $10.49), as it will automatically de-clutter any overstuffed closet. The convenient hook and loop fastener mean that you can easily attach this hanging organizer to your closet, without wasting any of your hangers. Plus, the smaller envelopes along the side of the compartments would make storing smaller articles, like scarves and flats, a much tidier process.

I also cannot back these SVIRA boxed separators enough, as they have saved me an abundance of space in drawers that are impractically deep, but also helped to organize those always hard to find items (like socks!). The box of 3 set is usually $14.99, but in the 30% off sale will only be $10.49.

These boxes with lids are great storage options for people who may not have a closet, and instead have a wardrobe with lots of space beneath their clothes to hide stuff away. Ikea sells these SVIRA boxes in two different patterns (grey white flowers and grey white stripes) and in four different sizes that range in price from $6.29-$11.90 (after the 30% has been taken off).
