This week coming Zellers has LaCoupe on sale buy one get one free. If you are one of the lucky ones to still have one of the free product coupons that they were mailing out a while back this sale is a super time to cash it in because you can get 2 for free with just one FPC.

There are also BOGO coupons floating around in which if you used that you could buy one get 3 for free. This would work because the cash would charge:

1st – Regular price

2nd – Free

3rd – Coupon would pay for

4th – Free

I love there hairspray and my mom used there unscented shampoo so we sure will be stocking up.

Thanks to phgirly for the deal post.

From September 30-October 17 spend $50 at a Smart Set store and you will get a $25 savings card towards another purchase.  The savings card has to be used between November 4-21 on a purchase of at least $50.  It’s  a pretty good deal if you tend to shop at Smart Set.  I like that so many stores are using this type of promotion now.  If I’m going to be spending my money I may as well get something extra out of it.

Thanks to couponlady for letting us know about this opportunity!.

Why oh why does The Children’s Place always tempt me with sales and coupons??? I suppose it’s my own fault for not being able to resist a good sale. I’m planning on going there later today, hopefully with some good buys. What good deals did you find at The Children’s Place?

So I happened to come across this information that the next 48 hour sale for Great Wolf Lodge is September 30th!  Simply check back here on the 30th around 10am EST and I’ll have an updated link for you.  I’m pretty stoked that I found out about this sale early.  This sale is extremely popular and rooms book quickly.  This is the lowest rate sale that Great Wolf Lodge offers all year.

I’m thinking of booking an upgraded room as part of the kid’s Christmas present since they don’t need anything.

🙂 I’m guessing the promo code will be 48hour but I wont know for sure until the 30th.

*Bumping  Apparently the promo may be on now with suites starting at $149.99. I’m not sure if this is the actual sale or not since usually they have better pricing then this for the sale.

* Unfortunately this is the deal, a room for $149.99, while still a good offer not as good as the last “48hour” sale.

Woo hooooo another awesome freebie. Simply fill out the survey by clicking on the link below and you will be mailed a coupon for a FREE loaf of Silver Hills bread!

For those of you who missed out on the FREE Silver Hills bread promo last time, here’s your chance to get in on it now! Hurry!

Regarding the Tight squeeze, woman cheesed by obese person on Porter Airlines flight post…

SmartCanucks is a consumer oriented blog and this was a very consumer based issue. It’s really sad that people were offended and many asked me to delete the post. We are slowly losing our freedom of speech in this country without even knowing it.

I VERY RESPECTFULLY presented this problem. Having family members who are obese I totally understand that obesity can sometimes be out of our hands and is not always related to poor diet and exercise. I did not once attack obese people in my post. Please read it again.

I’m usually very stressed out during flying because of a terrible experience I’ve had in the past on one of my trips. The psychological stress I go through although not physically apparent, is terrible. The last thing I want to worry about is having to share my seat with anyone. Call me selfish if you will but if I paid for a seat I expect to have my whole seat. The seats are already tiny as it is! So I think this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Some of the more educated responses in that blog post were actually very enlightening! For instance I really liked Sarah’s response:

As a Woman’s Rights advocate in Canada, I have to say the entire situation is shameful, especially considering the numerous people who posted without considering the larger issue: society; For some, obesity isn’t just due to eating an extra large hamburger, or not exercising, it can be a disease, genetics, or many other issues. Society needs to stop creating things made for a specific womyn and start manufacturing things for all womyn!!!! For instance, at 9 months pregnant right now, I couldn’t use an airplane or bus washroom… Actually, I feel cramped at my 5′1″ 110lbs. body in there prior to being pregnant!!!

If we want either of these ladies to have justice, we would need to look at the larger picture: Why aren’t there seats designed for those who might not fit, or can’t fit into those tiny seats?? It’s an economic thing, the more people the company can squish into the airplane (meaning more tiny seats, less seats that can comfortably hold people) the more money they can make. Of course, if the lady had went to the airport AFTER the fact, the airline probably decided she couldn’t have been THAT uncomfortable to have made the flight, and the company already had made the money…

When put into that perspective, can you blame either lady? I know I can’t!

If we discuss these issues then airlines are more likely to make the seats bigger or add a special service to help out obese people. But if we shut up and pretend nothing is wrong nothing happens!

Once again, I did not try to discriminate against obese people. The fact that some people were offended by my posts offends me. Some people will use the “offended” excuse whenever obese people are mentioned WITHOUT even reading or understanding the argument being presented.

So now is the moment of truth. You guys will decide whether or not the porter airlines blog post will remain on SmartCanucks or get deleted. I’ll let you decide what kind of censorship you want on SmartCanucks. If people don’t want to have these kinds of discussions on SmartCanucks then I won’t post them anymore.

Should I delete my “Tight squeeze, woman cheesed by obese person on Porter Airlines flight” post?

I always thought Porter Airlines’ customer service was first class, but looks like it’s going downhill. I came across an interesting article in the Ottawa Citizen about a woman (Janet) who had to share her Porter airline seat with a obese person because that obese person didn’t fit in her own seat.

She figures the woman’s spine was where the middle armrest comes down when in use. The woman also needed a belt extender to be able to buckle up.

Janet did not complain during the flight but afterwards she contacted Porter Airlines and asked for a full refund but Porter Airlines refused and offered her a $100 Gift Card on a future flight.

I think that the least Porter could have done was give her back her money. But this situation should not have happened in the first place. If someone cannot fit into a single seat then they should pay for 2 seats, sit comfortably and not bother others. Passengers should not be expected to travel with someone occupying part of their seat during the flight; or at least that’s how I personally feel about this. It’s uncomfortable, annoying, unfair and disgusting. If this had happened to me I would have refused to occupy half a seat on the spot and would not have waited till the flight was over to complain.

What would you have done?

Sears has sent me a few discount codes just for our readers, one of them is a new one that I haven’t seen before. The other one has been floating around for a bit so it isn’t a secret lol!

$10 off $75 Expiry October 3rd “941612160”

$15 off $150 Expiry unknown “941612074”

The $15 off one can be used with the processor I posted yesterday! Awesome!

Perfect timing for this coupon to come out, and it’s valid til November 15, 2010. I’m planning on using this coupon to buy a winter jacket for my son (Outerwear is on sale for 30% off), and on the day before Halloween I’m sure the costumes will be on clearance so potentially a good deal there (if there’s any sizes left).
