If you use Purina products for your cat, you will like these deals from Giant Tiger starting Wednesday

• Purina Cat Chow 3.2kg-4kg $10.99 (regularly $14.98).  While Giant Tiger usually stocks the very basic kinds, it specifies the sizes so you can pick up other types such as Urinary pH Reduction, Hairball, Indoor, Weight Management and the newer Easily Digestible at Walmart and pricematch the price.
• Maxx Scoop cat litter 7kg for only $4.88 (regularly $7.62).  Giant Tiger usually carries the green and blue ones, you might get lucky and find a store with the silver pails of litter or can price match this deal elsewhere.

For both of these, the regular prices are close to what Walmart is currently charging for them.  These deals are valid starting on Wednesday 25th March in the Quebec flyer, but their deals are usually the same across the country.

With each new holiday, as we gather round to take pictures of friends and family members, who we probably haven’t seen since our last holiday engagement, we are reminded as we go to take a picture that we are yet to actually print out the pictures from last Christmas (or even last Easter!)

 Now has never been a better time to invest in one of these memory keepers being sold at Photobook Canada, as they are running a promotion where you can use the Easter promo code, EASTER, to receive a 40% discount on all photobooks purchased between now and March 31st.

The summertime is a wonderful time for family and friends to get together and take part in fun activities, as there is more free time with the kids out of school and not participating in a million different extra curricular activities. That being said, the summertime is also a time when outings with your family can get quite expensive (have you seen the movie ticket prices recently?). The program, Kids Bowl for Free Canada, is designed to help lighten that load for families while still allowing them to participate in some fun and interactive games, such as bowling.

When you register your kids for the Kids Bowl For Free Program, you will begin receiving coupons in your e-mail to the address that you provide upon registration. The program will supply you with enough passes to your local bowling alley for your children to play 2 free games per day all summer long. You will also have the option to opt into the Family Pass, which will allow you to add up to four adult members, each of whom will also be able to play 2 games a day all summer long. The family pass will cost you $26.95, but seeing as your children’s free pass is valued to be worth up to $500, this initial fee of $26.95 will surely be worth it.

Dynamite Canada has a number of deals within their sale section right now that can help you find office attire, like dress pants, skirts and camisoles, for $10 and under. I know it may be hard to believe that you could find a pair of dress pants for the lowly price of $10, and even if you could, that they’d still be stylish, but Dynamite proves that you can in fact arrive in style while only spending the equivalent of your weekly coffee budget.

Outside of the sale section, you can even find select blazers at Dynamite being offered for just $30 in their most recent blazer promotion for spring. Like I said earlier, blazers are a great layering piece for spring, as you never know when that wind is going to whip into a cooler breeze, and a blazer provides you with just enough protection so that you won’t freeze nor overheat. This classic fitted blazer is currently being sold for the advertised promotional price of $30, though it would normally retail for about $49.95,

A nice companion to a new blazer would be a fitted and flared cheetah print skirt, like this one at Dynamite which is on sale right now for just $8 (regularly $32.90).

Dynamite Canada offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $50.

Bluenotes Canada is having a massive sale right now, where you can save between 40%-50% off on favourite styles like plaid dress shirts, boyfriend tunics and even some seasonally appropriate dresses have been included in this mid-season sale.

The boyfriend tunic at Bluenotes, one of my favourite laid-back looks for spring, and it is currently on sale at Bluenotes for just $5 (regularly $10). This top can be paired with a chic pair of black jeggings for a look that would bode well for a Friday night on the town, or it can be layered with a plaid dress shirt for a casual weekend look.

Speaking of plaid dress shirts, Bluenotes has several different shades and patterns to choose from within their sale, all of which have been discounted by up to 50% off the regular price. For instance,  I was able to find this super soft boyfriend fit plaid shirt (also comes in dusty pink, black and red) for just $9, though it was normally being sold for $18.

Bluenotes Canada offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $50, otherwise they will charge you approximately $8 for shipping and handling.

Playoff season for some of your favourite winter time sports are winding down for the year, and if your team is lucky enough to have a spot secured for the playoffs, then I’d suggest you invest in some fan gear so that when your cheering them on at your local pub you don’t look too out of place. If you’re looking for some inexpensive pieces of fan gear to buy, then you should check out LIDS Canada’s clearance sale, where select products have been reduced by up to 75% off the original price.

If you’re a basketball fan, then you know that the teams are currently fighting for their last chance to be seeded in the finals for the Eastern and Western conference. The Celtics have been struggling this season to lock down a position to be seeded for the Eastern conference finals, but they still have 13 more games left in regular season to win back a position. For those of you looking for cheap, but still proud, ways to display your teams you can pick up tees like this Adidas team shirt for just $27 (was $36).

LIDS Canada also has a number of reduced snapbacks for your favourite NBA team, that are starting as low as $6. Some of these hats were originally being sold for $40, which means you could be saving up to $34.

Last week we did a post that gave you a basic rundown about what the site, Sample Source Canada, was all about. Part of their promotions for the release of their new samples for the 2015 spring edition has been to leak blurred images of some of the products that we should anticipate to be included in the free samples for this spring.

This past week, Sample Source leaked an image of the above picture with the caption, “Try this tasty mix to your drink for a boost to help replenish and refuel your body!”. There have been a number of leaked images for the past few weeks in building the excitement for the spring 2015 Sample Source release, all of which you can see on their Instagram page here.

Signing-up for Sample Source is free, and I’d suggest you do it so that you can be among some of the first people to be notified about when these free sample package will become available.

The Royal Canadian Mint tends to offer these great deals on their novelty coins, particularly the ones that are of higher value, where you can essentially do a straight exchange on the coins (as they are valued to be worth exactly what you pay). Right now, the Mint is offering a deal such as the one described on the $50 Fine Silver Beaver Coin (2015), where the coin is worth $50 and you will only have to pay $50 as there is no tax on the coin and the shipping and handling cost has been covered!

These coins from the Mint make excellent gifts for your children, especially for special occasions that you’d like to landmark with a present that will last longer than this season’s latest tech toy.

You’ll perhaps remember earlier today when we posted about a deal on the Friends series on Amazon.ca where you could save 35% off on the complete collection in Blu-Ray edition. We would like to correct this posting, or rather inform you that there is a far better deal surfacing on Amazon.ca right now where you can save over double what you previously could, as the Blu-Ray edition is currently on sale for 78% off the original price. Friends: The Complete Collection (in Blu-Ray) is normally sold at retail price for $323, but right now you can collect the entire series in high-quality blu-ray for just $69.99.

Or, if you don’t have a Blu-Ray player at home, or simply don’t see that added value in buying your TV shows in Blu-Ray, you can pick up the same entire collection of Friends on Amaon.ca, but in DVD format, for just $55.99. This is possibly one of the lowest prices that this series has been sold for in a very long time, and while it is a super hot offer, it will only be available on Amazon.ca for another 13 hours (as of this posting).

Amazon.ca offers free-shipping on all orders that exceed $25, so both of these collections will qualify for the free-shipping offer.

If you’re a student at Wilfrid Laurier, and like coffee (as I imagine many of you do), then you’ll be pleased to hear about this offer from the 5 Days for the Homeless campaign where you can receive a $10 Starbucks gift card for just $5. What’s even nicer about this offer, apart from the fact that you’ll essentially be saving 50% off on your coffee purchases, is that the $5 you pay will be matched and donated to Laurier’s 5 Days for the Homeless Campaign, which is a charity that seeks to raise funds and awareness about homeless people.

To receive your $10 Starbucks gift card at half price, you will have to be a Wilfrid Laurier student, as it requires both your name and student number to receive said card. It will take until the end of March for all cards to be mailed out, so be patient with yours.

Newegg.ca has extended their offer of bringing you free-shipping on a select products being sold online right now. The selection of items you will have to choose from in this offer varies between newer items and refurbished products, which in some cases have been reduced by up to 75% off.

The shellshocker deal of the day at Newegg.ca is also being included in the limited time offer of being shipped to your home for free, which is really quite wonderful considering that the HP Smartbuy 23.6″ 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor is currently on sale for 34% off the regular price, now just $144.99 (was $219.99).

Newegg.ca does not normally offer free-shipping on any of their orders, so this free-shipping madness offer is one that is not only rare but quite a good deal too.
