This is so sad. Such a great Canadian company.

“We deeply regret the impact Please Mum’s current circumstances are having on our valued employees.

What happened to Please Mum?

Due to difficult financial circumstances, on July 7, 2011, Please Mum Partnership (consisting of and including Elia Fashions Ltd. and Bossa Nova Fashions Ltd.) (“Please Mum”) filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the “BIA”). Deloitte & Touche Inc. has consented to be the Trustee under the Proposal.”

They are still selling online and in-store for the moment but all items are final sale, gift cards are not accepted anymore, VIP program cancelled, No VIP card will be honoured,

Heres a letter from the company.

Maybelline is giving away 1000 lipsticks via Facebook!  All you have to do is like their page and enter the contest.  You even get to choose your shade, which is a pleasant surprise.

Thanks Mabel for the heads up.

On a recent trip to the grocery store, something really enraged me: Two different parents let their kids, who were sitting in the shopping cart, eat an item from the bulk section of the bakery department.

Whatever happened to teaching delayed gratification? Why didn’t the parents  stuff some snacks in their diaper bag prior to leaving the house? And if I’m hungry and feel like a chocolate croissant, why can’t I grab one off the shelf and start nibbling away as I shop?

Before I had the chance to confront these parents with the “How dare you teach your kids to steal!” or “Oh, now I know who’s responsible for driving up some of these prices!”, I got distracted by something, a.k.a. my bf held me back and told me to cool it.

Looking back on the situation, I am glad that I got “distracted” from any potential confrontation. After all, maybe the people will give the cashier an itemised list of all the things that their kids consumed and ask them to be added to their bill?

That is at least my hope for humanity.

From July 16-22 you can pick up a Scratch Card at Michael’s Craft Stores to save on your entire purchase.  You can scratch and save between 10-30%.  The great thing is that the discount will also be taken from sale items.  This is a great event to take advantage of if you need to pick up some craft materials to keep the kids busy on rainy summer days.

I like this new printable coupon from Metro Ontario, it makes dinner easy and lets you earn bonus Air Miles at the same time. I’ve never tried Metro’s rotisserie chicken before, as I always get it from Costco at $6.99. Is the Metro chicken good too?
