*Excludes sale merchandise. Prestige members will save an additional 10% off with valid Prestige card. Excludes gift cards and previously purchased merchandise. Offer valid at all Suzy locations, excluding outlets.

This would be a great time to pick up those pretty spring new arrivals. I particularly like the skirt the model is wearing in the image above. I can’t believe skirt season is almost here and the weather outside is atrocious.

*Must present SPC card to receive discount. Not valid with any other promotion. 50% off original retail price. Not valid on previously purchased merchandise or gift cards.

March 11th is marked on my calendar as shopping day to take advantage of these sales. I just love my SPC card more and more each time they have events like this. I’m especially looking forward to Costa Blanca X for accessories and such.

This March (Break) the kids menu at Boston Pizza starts at $6.25 with 8 items including: Bugs n’ Cheese, Pint-sized Pizza, Gooey Grilled Cheese, Baked Salmon, BP Kids Cheeseburgers, Chicken Fingers, Super Spaghetti or Lovely Linguini.

(The deal isn’t as good as last year as it seems as though kids under 10 ate free last March Break!  They probably lost money.)

I avoid eating at chain restaurants, but I don’t mind Boston Pizza!  In fact, I’ve had only good experiences with their food…especially their pizza. 😉  So keep this promo in mind if&when you’re stuck with the kids this March Break!

For some reason, the promo isn’t posted on their website.  However, it does appear here on their Facebook page.  I received it as part of the BP E-mail Club.

Please call your local BP for details as the promo seems to vary depending on your location!

Thanks to miniv for posting this freebie for us!

This deal was posted a couple of days ago, but it runs until March 21st, 10AM. Until then, when you spend $100+, in-store or online at Roots.com, save $25!

I visited the website to see what the conditions were, but there weren’t any details.

This is a great deal if you were planning to buy something anyway!

I love Starbucks.  They are celebrating their 40th birthday and giving all their customers a little treat.  This Thursday-Saturday from 2pm to 5pm buy a drink and get a small Petite for free!  For those of you that don’t know what a Petite is, they are delectable little treats that are under 200 calories.  Yummy and less remorse educing then other treats (oh and free!).

Thanks to AnnieP for posting this great freebie for us!

*Excludes gift sets and home fragrance. Single items as marked. Free item must be of equal or lesser value.

Maximum value of free item is $5.50 and limited to one per customer. Happy shopping!

I was in grade 9 when I first smelled this, both guys and girls were wearing it since it’s supposed to be unisex. I don’t quite remember how it smells so I guess I’ll pick up my free sample.

This promotion started on Valentine’s Day, but I just saw the ad, until March 13th, bring in any pair of gently used shoes and receive $20 off a new pair of New Balance runners!

Last week, The Bay started carrying Madonna and daughter, Lola’s clothing line, Material Girl. Featuring Kelly Osbourne as the new face, Material Girl was previously only exclusive at Macy’s in the US.

I was shocked at how affordable everything was, while in Buffalo this past summer. (I was gonna say “cheap”, but…)  Call it a quarter-life-crisis, but I ended up buying a black lace tutu for $22USD, plus I got an additional 15% off ’cause I had “out of state ID”.  It was a weird discount, but hey, I’m not complaining!  See below.

Anyway, as soon as I heard that Material Girl launched in Canada*, I raced to the nearest Bay.  Verdict?  Nothing to write home about.  The selection, at least at Square One, was very limited.  There were 6 puny racks with maybe 3-4 different pieces.

Aside from the poor selection, what really stood out was the recycled designs circa H&M…last Spring!  (Did they just decide to ship the leftovers to Canada?)  I guess I just expected something different.  Seriously, if there was no signage, also ugly btw, I’d walk right pass the entire section and head straight towards the perfume counters – my only other reason to step foot in there!

Furthermore, the clothing is Forever 21-quality at un-Forever 21 prices, the mannequins blend right into the background, the merchandising is completely uninspiring, and who was the stylist, grandpa who comes in to stock up on golf shirts during Bay Days?  Blech.

I’d expect this weak set-up from Zellers, but The Bay?  C’mon, certainly you can do better than that!  I won’t put all the blame on the collection itself, as it seems obvious that The Bay doesn’t have high hopes for it!

Maybe there’s hope for next season…if it’s still ’round.

*  Thanks, Sally!

Today Tim Hortons is introducing their version of a cold fruit smoothie.  A  10-ounce smoothie will cost $1.99 and contain 130 calories, zero grams of fat and a full serving of fruit. You can add yogurt for 70 cents, adding another 30 calories. Flavours are mixed berry or strawberry banana.  From what I can tell it’s made from a mix, not fresh fruit.  I’m assuming it will basically be the same as what Coffee Culture offers currently.  If in fact my assumptions are right I will not be rushing to Tim Hortons to get one. 

Are you interested in trying the Tim Hortons Smootim?
