This Friday July 23rd save an additional 15% off your entire purchase!  This discount also includes sale items.  What a great time to stock up. I know they release 40% off coupons on one item only all the time but this gives you an opportunity to save a bundle more on all your items, because there is also a 40% off one item coupon for this week. Now I’m not sure if these coupons are a one time use only but they are easily accessible by simply signing up on Michaels email list.

The 2/$10 sale is still going on. This is the final clearance of the 2010 Entertainment.com book. If your city still has copies nows the time to scoop some up, and get the savings started pronto. Shipping in only a few bucks and usually takes a week or so to receive via Canada Post.  Price is in USD but the CDN dollar is around 95 cents. On the site you also get a preview of what the book offers and a lot of cities have coupons you can instantly access and print right through the site.  Click here to see if your city or vacation city is still available.

I ordered last week for Vegas and the 2 for 1 tickets alone will save me 10x the books price!

Thanks Ethereal Dragon and tjthemanto Dragon for letting us know about this McDonalds Canada Customer Appreciation Day.

McDonalds Canada is having its Customer Appreciation Day this Thursday July 22nd, 2010. Buy one Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Filet O Fish or McChicken sandwich and get the second sandwich of equal or lesser value for just one penny.

Please note that these McDonalds Canada Customer Appreciation Day posters have been spotted in the Greater Vancouver Region so I’m not sure if it’s only valid in GVR or all across Canada.

I got this email today from Grahame who works at the Minister’s Office at the Ontario Ministry of Revenue addressing our previous blog discussions about HST. Although I don’t necessarily agree with everything they said, I’m actually very impressed that they took the time to read people’s opinions.

My name is Grahame from the Minister’s Office at the Ontario Ministry of Revenue and I read your blog post referencing the Harmonized Sales Tax. With the recent implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) it is important to learn about how the HST will affect people in Ontario. Based on the focus of your blog, I thought this might be helpful information to provide your readers.

This is about creating jobs and putting people back to work. Within 10 years our comprehensive tax package will create nearly 600,000 new jobs, attract $47 billion in new business investment and increase wages.

The HST is part of this comprehensive tax package that will see 93 per cent of Ontarians receive personal income tax cut. With these cuts Ontario now has the lowest provincial tax rate in Canada on the first $37,106 of taxable income. In fact, 90,000 low-income Ontarians will no longer have to pay Personal Income Tax.

To help families we have introduced a permanent $260 Sales Tax Credit for low- and middle-income adults, children and seniors. In total $4.2 billion in transition payments will be delivered to help Ontarians adjust to the Harmonized Sales Tax. It is important to remember that every $100 in tax relief is equivalent to the 8% tax on $1250 in newly taxed items.

We are exempting children’s clothing and footwear, infant and child care seats, diapers, books, food under $4, newspapers, and feminine hygiene products, from the provincial portion of the HST.

Please find more information on the tax breaks for people here: http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/en/taxchange/families.html

Another helpful document is a list of what’s taxable under the HST and what\’s not: http://www.rev.gov.on.ca/en/taxchange/pdf/taxable.pdf.

For more information about the HST please visit www.ontario.ca/taxchange.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the HST or the government’s tax reforms.

Thank you,
Grahame
