Since 2010 is almost over I decided to start an annual “contest” where we nominate and vote for Canada’s Best and Worst companies of the year! I’ve noticed a significant drop in customer service over the past couple of years so I’m sure nominating the worst through 2010 will not be too hard.
Post your Worst Company nominations and the reason for shaming the companies in the comment box below. You can nominate absolutely any company as long as it operates in Canada. You have till Wednesday Dec 29th, 2010 to nominate the worst companies of the year after which we’ll have a public poll to choose the Worst Company.
Lego.ca is having a great sale right now! Select items are marked up to 50% off. My boys absolutely love lego. My oldest got a few world racer sets yesterday. His uncle spent hours painstakingly putting together the set. An hour later my 4 year old completely tore them apart. I swore I saw a tear in his uncle’s eye. Haha, anyways click here to check out the sale @ Lego. Shipping varies on amount purchased.
* While your there you might as well order their free catalogue too! My kids love browsing it.
Ok, I’m seriously on my way to bed soon. I was doing my final email rounds for the night and came across this great Boxing Day offer from Reitmans. Save up to 70% in-store and online. Also online only take an extra 20% off sale items. Click here to check out the sale online and for in-store locations. I might go in-store tomorrow and see what they have to offer.
So I should totally be in bed but I decided to check out a few stores online before hitting the hay. Anyways Old Navy has some amazing deals on right now, kids coats for $18, adult jeans for 20, fur trimmed ladies sweaters $13 and so much more! If you pay by Visa you can save yourself an extra 10% by entering “CAVISA10” (if you spend $50 or more.) You can shop sales at the Gap as well and enter “GAP25Sale” at checkout to save an additional 25% off sale items from the Gap. Remember you can combine these two codes, it just won’t “double work’ for the Gap code. Basically that means that you’ll be able to save 10% from your Old Navy purchases then the 25% from the Gap sales if you shop at both 🙂 Remember shipping is free over $50.
Happy boxing day shopping!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got some marvelous gifts 😉
I got a cologne and a *drum roll please* iPad! Now I own a Macbook Pro, iPhone, iPod classic, iPod touch and now an iPad (none of which I had paid for) and can confidently say my life is complete 😛
I also made a few of people happy with my Christmas gifts but the biggest smile was on my sister’s face when she saw I had gotten her a violet Lululemon Scuba Hoodie 🙂
Guess where I’ll be spending Boxing Day? At home! No more money spending for me 
What gifts did you get for Christmas? And whose day did you brighten with your gifts?

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
Merry Christmas Smart Canuck Readers!
Here we are the last Hot Deals for 2010 and in my opinion this week’s flyers don’t have a lot of great deals besides the free juice at both Sobey’s in Atlantic Canada and Metro in Quebec with the printable coupon. I think the best deals will be found in stores unadvertised for the great Boxing Day sales.
