Welcome back to the SmartCanucks Scavenger Hunt — our weekly challenge to our readers to find the lowest price on a specific item! Last week’s hunt netted a number of good deals on a 12 case of coke, all around the $3 mark. But this week? This week we’re going to do something a little different.
I think you’ve all had a chance to flex your hunting muscles in recent weeks, so it’s time to put them to the test with our very first Shopping Cart Challenge! How does it work? I’m going to list four items, and I want you to come up with the lowest combined price for the cart. The items can come from different retailers — the key thing is to have the lowest total combined cost. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Here’s the four;
– a bulk package of facial tissue (any brand, 3 or more boxes of tissue in the pack)
– a copy of Twilight, the novel (hardcover, softcover, doesn’t matter)
– a brown men’s hooded sweatshirt
– Shadow of the Colossus, a game for the PlayStation 2
Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, so you’d better get started! Good luck, everyone!
I’m very interested in ads and commercials and I find some of the creative ideas behind ads simply spectacular. This ad however must have been placed in the worst position EVER!
Warning: Scene before ad may be disturbing and may contain Battlestar Galactica spoilers.

I was doing a little reading on our nation’s past today like every good Canadian should from time to time, and I stumbled across something I’d never seen before — this flag.
And while I know what it is now due to the context of the article I was reading, I would have had no idea had someone just shown it to me out of the blue. So I put it to you, SmartCanucks nation — what flag is this?
(If no one gets it right in the next day or two, I’ll make sure to give you the answer in the comments).

I stumbled across this photo sometime last summer and it always makes me smile — especially because I’m a friend of a friend of the guy in the Blanka outfit. I came across this on a friend’s Facebook, andfrom what I can tell it was taken during karaoke night at the Boston Pizza on Morrison Ave in Niagara Falls.
I know, I know — at first it seems like this is a Caption Challenge for the gamers in the crowd only, but really — who doesn’t have something witty to say about a wacky dude doing karaoke in a monster suit?

Before the big ”love” day I thought i’d share an excellent Canadian based site boasting chocolates from all over the world including organic, sugar free, and fair trade  Chocodirect.com There is an wonderful clearance section. For bargain hunters like myself combining premium chocolates and bargain shopping, I’m not sure if it could get any better!
The clearance section quite often has short date chocolates, teas, cookies, and  candies 10-80% off original retails.
I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but don’t be shocked if they include a free chocolate or two with your order!
Shipping is quite reasonable at $4.99 and free over $100.  It’s usually sent out very quickly after paying. Â
While it’s a little strange, I also think it’s adorable how the restaurant got into the theme and put wedding messages on the hot sauce packages. In a perfect world I’d have a McDonald’s catered wedding. Have you seen that “Nuggnuts” commercial where they have a wedding cake made out of McNuggets? That’s my dream, right there. 😉
ScrapBooksEtc is offering 6 free Valentine’s Day Cards. Enter the code valentine at checkout to claim your 6 FREE Valentine’s Day cards. Shipping is also free so you get your cards totally free 😀
