*From Friday, August 20th until Sunday, August 22nd 2010, receive a $25 savings card on any purchase of $75 or more (before taxes). Savings card is redeemable at The Bay on any purchase of $100 or more (before taxes) from Sept. 10th to Sept. 30th, 2010. One savings card per transaction. Not redeemable on cosmetics or fragrance purchases. Other exclusions may apply. See store for complete details.

This would’ve been a good deal until I saw that the savings card is not redeemable on cosmetics and fragrances, which are pretty much the only things I get from The Bay when they have those gift with purchase promos. This can still be a good deal for someone who needs to purchase something else from The Bay anyway.

As most of you know each week on Facebook (generally Thursdays) Old Navy offers the Barkers Bones application to score yourself a coupon for that week. There are $5 off $50’s, $10 off $50’s, $15 off $75’s, and also $50 off $100’s (rare.)  They all are a generic code but the rare ones. Click here to go to Old Navy on Faceboook

You can try to score your own coupon each week, or simply click then print this coupon below for $10 off $50.  Coupon is valid until August 26th at USA and Canada Old Navy locations (unfortunately Quebec is not included)

According to Old Navy Canada’s Facebook Wall, hoodies for the whole family will be on sale for $8 and up this weekend! Yay! Fall is just around the corner and now would be a great time to stock up for back-to-school for the kiddies. Also, don’t forget to grab a coupon from Barker’s Bones for even more savings.

Don’t you just love FPCs? That means Free Product Coupon for those who don’t speak “Couponese”. You can find an FPC for a 2L Coca-Cola product inside select Old El Paso participating products. They include:

• Hard Taco Dinner Kit
• Soft Taco Dinner Kit
• Fajita Dinner Kit
• Hard and Soft Taco Dinner Kit
• Stand ‘n Stuff Taco Dinner Kit

I hope these specially marked boxes will be available everywhere. The last time Old El Paso had a promo, finding the specially marked boxes was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you find these boxes anywhere, please post here so we know where to look.

Big thanks goes out to 2010ontest for the heads up on this great freebie!

I just ran across a post on Smart Canucks about the Old Navy site being updated!  Sure enough shipping will start to Canada on August 23rd! How exciting! I have my fingers crossed that shipping will be reasonably priced.

Heres the Old Navy Canada Facebook Page with the update!

Thanks Mik86 for letting me know your rock!

In the Food Basics (ON) August 20-26, 2010 flyer, Arctic Gardens Rice is advertised on sale for $1. If you were able to order this coupon from gocoupons.ca when it was available then you can get the rice for free! The coupon expires on August 31, 2010 so this might be the last chance to use this coupon. I wish I had some of these coupons. But at $1, I might still get one just to try it out.

Note: This coupon is no longer available at gocoupons.ca.

Thank you to SarahS83 for posting the flyer for us!

Last night when I read Watergirl73’s post on the forum I was absolutely astonished!  This Smart Canuck has been furnishing her home completely by scoping out Kijiji deals and steals for quite sometime.  Her house is nothing less then gorgeous, and you would never be able to tell that she paid a fraction of the price for the high end furnishings in her home.  It’s still a work in progress as they are renovating but nonetheless breathtaking.  This member deserves to be featured in Chatelaine!

Where was this coupon when I was at the Coach Factory last Saturday!  Oh well, this means that when your out buying my bday present today you can save yourself an extra 20%!  This coupon is on top of markdowns and additional discounts offered in the Factory store.  Yes the factory does carry regular Coach Store bags, your selection will vary from location to location.  The Outlet in Ontario is in Niagara Falls, but there are tons just over the border in Michigan and New York State.  Click here to print your coupon

Happy Shopping!

Thanks Katty for the email, and remember readers Sc has all the hot deals and coupons first, check out the forum!

Kraft Handi-Snacks $0.48!! Who would of thought? Sure not me as the best deal I have ever come across was $0.79. But this week at Sobeys in Atlantic Canada you can get just that deal.

Here is how:

Purchase 10x $1.49 Kraft Handi-Snacks = $14.90

Use 5x $0.35 when you buy 2 coupons = $1.75

Get 60 Air Miles for purchasing 10 = $8.40 (if you redeem your Air Miles for Sobeys Gift Cards)

So $14.90 – $1.75 – $8.40 = $4.75 for 10 or $0.48 each!!

I was never one to really watch the Air Mile deals till the past few month and sure glad I started because there are some super deals to be had for back to school.
