Christmas is not that far away and the parcel volume is already increasing at Canada Post which means it is weekend delivery season.

I was surprised to hear a knock on my door this morning and find Canada Post standing there with a parcel where the tracking shows delivery on Tuesday (sadly they did not have my other parcel which should be delivered tomorrow).  While some trucks have been out the last few weekends, my delivery person says the volume has really increased this week and it is the first weekend they have multiple trucks out across the city and they expect to be out every weekend until Christmas.

Even better, they are only delivering parcels so you will not be finding bills in your mailbox on the weekends!  Weekend delivery is limited to urban cores when and where the mail volume requires the additional deliveries.

While the Black Friday deals at Old Navy Canada are rumoured to be 50% off the entire store this year, if you really can’t wait till then (or simply don’t feel like facing the daunting crowds) then you can still enjoy some savings this week with the 30% off early bird deals going on at Old Navy.

This women’s two-tone dress was $36.94, but with the 30% off discount (which will already be reflected in the price) is now only $25.

Or these adorable Old Navy girl’s fair-isle patterned sleep sets are only $16 after being marked down from $22.94.

Old Navy Canada offers free-shipping on orders that are over $50, but this deal is also available in-stores – and the malls will probably be pretty calm right now, seeing as most people will be gearing up for this Friday’s savings.

For the professional and aspiring chefs, or those who just really value their home cookware sets, then now would be the time to act on updating your kitchen cooking sets from Sears Canada, as you can get a 13-piece Lagostina Chef-Clad cookware set for only $279.99; that’s $820 off the original listing of $1099.99. This incredible price is only available at Sears, and will expire tonight at 11:59pm EST.

The professional clad cookware that Lagostina offers ensures that your food will retain the heat supplied by the cookware effectively, using 5-ply technology to wrap the heat equally around your pot or pan. The full stainless steel set includes:

• 1L saucepan with a pouring spout,
• 1.6L covered saucepan
• 2.2L covered casserole dish
• 3.1L sauce pot
• 3.4L covered dutch oven
• 24cm covered skillet
• and a 16-18-20cm steamer insert

All of the collection is dishwasher safe, making clean up after a big pasta dinner much easier, but you should keep in mind that these are not lightweight cooking pieces; with the whole set weighing close to 31.97lbs. However, the heavier design of Lagostina cookware ensures that you get superior heat conduction and dispersion throughout cooking your meal.

In addition to this massive markdown offered by Sears Canada, if you use this promo code at checkout, 941612809, you will receive an extra $15 off at checkout. This would mean that before taxes and shipping, your cookware set would only be $264.99 (after taxes and shipping it will cost $323.08).

Lancome Canada is releasing their Black Friday promo code early, where if you spend $200 or more you can receive 25% off  and for every other order you can get 20% off and for all order sizes you will receive FREE-shipping. Simply use the code, BLACK14, and you will qualify for the offer.

And remember, as we posted about yesterday, if you spend over $50 at Lancome Canada you will receive a free 5-piece gift bag when you use the promo code, DEC14, at checkout. The two promo codes can be stacked to redeem the free-shipping, but if you do decide to get the Lancome gift bag as well you won’t qualify for the 20% off Black Friday offer.

As you can see from my bag, Lancome will apply the free-shipping, but will waive the 20% off discount. However, if you aren’t planning to spend $50, or simply don’t wish to receive the free gift bag, then you will qualify for the free-shipping and Black Friday promo. It’s up to you to pick the offers that will fit your shopping needs!

Shop.ca is offering another one of their $20 off coupons on your purchase of $50 or more when you like the store, Shop.ca, on Facebook. You will need to supply your name and e-mail address to access the code, and it will be available to use until December 31st, 2014.

This deal only really makes sense if you were planning on making a purchase on something that exceeds $50, but if you pursue their sale section you may just find a deal that tickles your fancy. I was able to find this Cuisinart 6 Qt. 3-in-1 Multi Cooker at $139, which is 26% off its suggested retail value of $189. With your $20 off voucher, it would cover the tax on the item ($21), plus they offer free-shipping at Shop.ca

On comparable site’s, this Cuisinart 6 Qt. 3-in-1 Multi Cooker would go for $162 (Amazon.ca), or $159 on the Cuisinart retail site, but on Shop.ca you will get the lowest price, plus, if you’re an Aeroplan member, you will receive 5X the miles on your first purchase on Shop.ca.

Cuddles My Giggly Monkey, part of the Furreal Friends collection by Hasbro, is on clearance sale at Walmart Canada for only $45; which is $32.97 off the retail price of $77.97. In addition to this sale, Walmart Canada offers free-shipping on all orders, so you can have your child’s Furreal Friend sent right to your door at no additional cost!

This is a really great deal, as on other competing websites Cuddles My Giggly Monkey is being sold, in some cases, for almost double the price being offered at Walmart Canada.

• Toys R Us Canada, $79.99
  
• Target, $50.99

Amazon.ca has the same offer on the Furreal Friend, that with taxes will come to $50.85, but should you decide you don’t want Cuddles the Giggly Monkey, returns are free and a much simpler process with Walmart Canada as you can return the item to a retail location.

On the second day of pre-Black Friday deals, Forever 21 Canada gave to shoppers a 21% off promo code on all outerwear. Ending on November 23rd at 11:59pm PST, you can buy any men’s or women’s outerwear coat for 21% off the retail price when you enter the code, BFDEAL21, at checkout.

The Forever 21 offer is only available online, and cannot be used on already reduced outerwear items, so be sure to buy items you feel confident will fit. Like this shrunken collar longline overcoat, not meant to have a structured look but to be more lose fitting, would be a wise purchase and it will only be  $47.32 after the discount is applied (was, $59.90).

There’s also a nice selection of men’s outerwear coats to choose from in this offer from Forever 21. I found this men’s faux-leather varsity jacket for only $42.50 (was, $53.80), which is a really good deal in comparison to other letter jackets which can easily exceed three-figures.

Forever 21 Canada offers a low minimum for FREE shipping of $30, and they also are very good about returns, should you need to exchange any of your purchases.

Amazon are selling the Oral-B Professional Care Precision 1000 Rechargeable Toothbrush for only $40.99 today with free shipping.  This toothbrush regularly sells for double that and $69.99 on sale so is a great time to buy but you can make this deal even better:

• Price-match at your local Target store (their newer policy allows for price-matching Amazon.ca) and use the $20 tear pad coupon for any Oral B rechargeable toothbrush plus $10 rebate on Checkout $51 and pay only $10.99 plus taxes
• Use this mail in rebate for $20 off the purchase of select Oral B rechargeable toothbrushes (Precision 1000 is included in the terms) if you do not have a coupon or buy online

P&G often excludes coupons as “other offers” when sending your rebate, so you will likely only get your $20 prepaid Mastercard if you did not use a coupon, but you are only out a stamp if they refuse the rebate.
