If you are thinking about buying a tablet, you might want to check out this deal at The Source. They are selling the 64GB Blackberry Playbook for only $299.99. It retails for $699.99 so that’s savings of $400! My brother actually has a Playbook and he really likes it. He also has an iPad (he’s a programmer, so he likes the gadgets) and he says for going out he actually prefers the Playbook because it is smaller, lighter and has a better web browser. You can buy online and have it shipped to your store for free too.

@Forever21
You got to love a good BOGO sale and when it’s on clothes and jewelry I love it even more! From now until January 8, Forever 21 has a selection of clothing on for Buy One Get One Free. As with any BOGO sale, you pay for the highest priced item and get one of equal or lower value for free. All the items included in this sale are already on sale, so the deals to be had are pretty awesome. This sale is going on both in store and online. I suggest shopping early for the best selection of styles and sizes.

Mastermind Canada is holding a ‘buy 2, get 1 free’ promotion on 4M science and arts and crafts kits. There are over 80 different kits to choose from and the promotion is available in stores and online.
@Danier_Leather
Danier is having a ‘buy 2, get the 3rd free’ sale on their accessories, where the 3rd item must be of equal or lower value than the other two. An end date for the sale is not listed and nothing is specified as to if this is on regular priced items only but knowing Danier, I’m guessing this includes sale items.
Danier doesn’t have online shopping available yet, but you can browse all items on their website and order by phone or go into a store. If you haven’t check out Danier in a while, you really should. I’m crazy about their handbags and having a really hard time deciding which three I want.
They’re LIVE!! Up to $153 in savings. You can only order 32 coupons at a time, but you can place more than one order. I know you’re all going to race over there to get your coupons, so I won’t slow you down with reading! Off to get mine.
