Pinecone is expanding again and offering new invites!

PineCone research is growing and we invite you to help!  If you have ever told a friend about receiving $5 for doing surveys for PineCone Research, it is likely that they have asked, “How can I join?”
Now you can tell them how to become part of this elite group of households. We are offering select members the opportunity to recommend membership to a friend or relative who is NOT a member of their household.
Do you know of households that would like to join the PineCone Research Panel? If so, please FORWARD A COPY of this email to each household you would like to refer so that they may click on the registration link shown below.  That household should complete the registration form themselves and submit it. REMEMBER THAT ONLY ONE PERSON PER HOUSEHOLD MAY REGISTER. Multiple registrations of the same Household will void all registrations.

If you think you’ll qualify please feel free to email Smart Canucks sister site Dealcetera at [email protected] and an invite link will be emailed back to you!

I just got an email from a friend of mine asking if I was coming to Toronto over Christmas because she found this amazing deal and wanted to know if I wanted in.  You can purchase tickets for Disney Princesses on Ice at the Rogers Centre in Toronto for only $11 each from Ticketmaster!!  Okay so they have a couple of extra fees but even with those the tickets are only $17! 

It’s a special MC promotion and it seems to be on any seats, not a particular section.  I tried it and got row 24 for the opening night.  All you have to do is choose to look for tickets in the MC promotion box and enter promo code MOM to get your tickets for $11!

This is an amazing deal.  The show runs from December 18-27 which makes it a perfect thing to do over the Christmas break.  Sadly, I won’t be able to go but I’m sure my friend and her two lovely daughters will have a blast.  Too bad because I had my Belle costume all ready to go.

From Oct 6 – Nov 1 you can get an awesome Lancome gift with $34 purchase at The Bay. This gift with purchase is extra awesome because you get to choose the 7 gifts (with a free bag and companion) that you want to include in it, from the 12 Lancome favourites!

Here are the items you get to choose from:

I think this “a la carte” way of doing gift with purchases is really neat, although in the fine print it says all 7 items must be different, so you can’t stock up on one item alone. I am already mentally ordering in my head which freebies I want!

“Astroboy” originally a Japanese franchise, is now a new animated 3D movie featuring the voices of Freddie Highmore, Kristen Bell, Nathan Lane, Charlize Theron, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Bill Nighy, Donald Sutherland and Nicolas Cage. It is about “a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist, Dr. Tenma in the image of the son he had lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man’s expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, becoming part of a group of rowdy kids led by a girl named Cora, experiencing betrayal, and a netherworld of robot gladiators led by the greedy ring master, Ham Egg, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.”

The movie is set to come out on Oct 23 in the US/Canada, but you can see a FREE screening of the film on Oct 17!

You do have to be registered with gofobo to request the passes for the screenings. I did a test for the Toronto showing, and it is pretty easy to get the pass, the theatre for Toronto is the Silvercity Yonge and Eglinton. You select how many passes you want, confirm and then print out your tickets. Click on the select link below for the city that you are interested in.
