@JoeFresh

There’s a new coupon from Joe Fresh that I think some of you might be interested in.  From now until January 27 you can save $10 on your purchase of $30 or more of Women’s Active Wear.  I could probably use a couple new tank tops and maybe another pair of yoga pants, so I think I’m going to check out what they have.

Start the new year off right by saving one of my favourite yummy treats yougurt! Danone Canada is mailing out $20 worth of Activia coupons so you can start your own challege. Get yours here.

Activia is one of my favourite yogurts. Best flavour in my opinion is regular prune and the lemon dessert.

I recently tried on my best friend’s glasses on while she was home from university and have come to the conclusion I should probably see the eye doctor as I could see much clearer.

Rent to own stores, we’ve all heard of them, some of us have items from them, but are they a smart choice?  Recently I found an end table set that I liked on a site called Easy Home. I had never looked into one of these sites, and figured I could get a cash in hand price.  Boy was I wrong!  Easy Home deals in “weekly payments”  there are no base prices. Only how much the item will cost you weekly.  I had figured the pair of end tables should retail around $149.99 considering they were just press board and pretty simple.  With Easy Homes base (which they don’t disclose) and the 29.99% interest the pair would cost me $6 per week for 156 weeks costing me just under $940!  With a bit of searching I found a CBC Marketplace investigation where they calculated the base price triple or more of the normal price plus the 29.99% interest.  If you took the regular retail and recalculated the excessive base amount they were charging in the compound interest some items were over 500% interest.  The real kicker?  Some of these items are used! You end paying insane prices on used items.  The only good thing I found was you can return the items at any time with no penalty… but i’m sure theres a lot of fine print to that.

While I do understand some people have no credit or means of purchasing these items outright why not go second hand until you can afford a new couch, tv etc?  Theres no shame in saving up for a new couch.  Or maybe people don’t mind paying insane prices to have something new?   Have you purchased items from a rent to own store? What was your experience?

While news broke out all over the place today about Hostess filing for bankruptcy this does not effect the Canadian Hostess.  They are separate entities.  This is great news for us Canadians as Hostess (ie Wonderbread) employs a lot of  people here.  Hopefully the US chapter will be able to restructure and get back on its feet. 

Speaking of Hostess, does anyone actually eat Twinkies anymore?

@eddiebauer

Eddie Bauer is having an outerwear sale.  They have jackets and vests for men and women on sale for up to 60% off.  I would assume that this sale is going on in store as well as online, but I couldn’t find anything that told me for sure.  Also, if you sign up for their emails you will get a code for another 15% your purchase.  Not too shabby.
