I love the brand Saran wrap.  It’s the only cling wrap that I find does it’s job proper and “clings” to things.  Only problem is I haven’t been able to find it for months.  I’m dead serious. I’ve checked Zehrs, Foodland, Walmart, Zellers, Giant Tiger and other random store I’ve come across.  I cannot find it anywhere.  Not only can I not find it but there is no spot even for it.  I’m sure there has to be old stock at some stores, but is it discontinued?  Is this something I can only get in the USA now?

If you live by a Whole Foods (Greater Vancouver & Toronto Area), and shop there regularly, this is a GREAT deal for you! Via Livingsocial.com, a deal-of-the-day website, you can get $20 to spend at Whole Foods for just $10. That’s a savings of 50%!

(According to this article, south of the border, this deal has sparked a “mass hysteria”.)

A brand new Whole Foods just opened here and I *love* it. It’s great for people watching, yummy samples, and the hot food/salad bar is not only tasty + healthy, but it’s not too expensive either!

As of the publishing of this post, there have been over 850 000+ deals purchased with just over 18 hours remaining.

Snatch up the deal here ASAP!

***Update: There is some confusion as to whether or not this is valid in Canada. My purchase is “pending”, but I thought that was because I was using a new credit card. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when the deal expires!***

I just received my free (albeit tiny!) sample of Lancome’s Visionnaire today. In the envelope that contained the sample, it stated that if you leave a comment/share your feedback on Lancome’s Facebook page, you’ll receive $20 off your purchase of the product.

I’ve left my comment and the promo code to receive $20 off is VISION1! A 30mL bottle is $100, so $20 off isn’t bad…especially if it actually does “postpone the thought of a cosmetic procedure”, as per their claims. Offer expires October 15th.

(Please note that shipping on the Lancome.ca website is FREE for orders of $85+, so if you use the promo code, you’ll have to pay a nominal fee.)

Have you tried this product yet? If so, what did you think? This sample is really small, so I’m curious as to whether or not it’ll make that dramatic of a difference!

A few months back, a self-confessed shopaholic girlfriend of mine told me about U.S. Address Inc, a company that provides a physical U.S. address where you can have your parcels shipped/stored. Not having an immediate need for the service, I sort of forgot about it…’til now.

My bf’s birthday is right around the corner and I thought of the PERFECT gift. (I’m not going to mention it here, just in case he reads this! 😉 ) The problem is that the seller, both on eBay + Amazon.com, will not &/or cannot ship to Canada.

I would like to support local businesses, but no one manufactures this item to the same standard of quality here in Canada. So I’d be paying more for an inferior product.  Isn’t that always the case?

I am seriously considering “renting” a U.S. Address and here’s a pro/con list:

PRO
– can get items that aren’t sold in Canada
– can receive items that only ship to “USA Only”. Think some eBay sellers who often have this disclaimer on their listing!
– inexpensive service; website states that fees are $1.50/package up to 50lbs and that includes 1 week of free storage
– may not have to pay duties/taxes, depending on the product

CON
– will have to drive across the border to pick-up merchandise, so depending on what you order, it may not be worth the gas/time spent
– amount of duties/taxes, again depends on a few factors

If you haven’t already, do you think this service is useful? If you have used this service, what did you think of it? Was it worth the effort?
