Thanks mumblebee for suggesting this Rock Band The Beatles Special Value Edition deal!

Beatles rockband special value edition is selling at Best buy for $160, plus tax (for the Xbox 360 I know of), but on amazon.ca, they’re selling for $79.98 plus free shipping, so if you take it to Best Buy Canada and have them do a price match, plus beat it by 10%, you can get the beatles rockband (drums, guitar, microphone and beatles games) for less than $80 after tax compared to $182.00

I checked Best Buy Canada and Amazon.ca and mumblebee is absolutely right! In fact I found this would also apply to the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 versions of Rock Band The Beatles Special Value Edition as well as the Xbox360 😀

Thank Mary-Ann for letting us know about this Banana Republic Canada sale. Here’s what she said:

On Thursday, Banana Republic is offering 40% off of all regular priced items.  It\’s one day only.  Awesome savings.  My boyfriend found a sweater there that he loves, regular price $160, way over the $100 I had budgeted, but thanks to the sale on Thursday, I will be able to get it for my budgeted price.

Confirmed with a sales associated today.

Thanks!

I did get the coupon offer from Banana republic however they seem to be one time use. My guess is that Banana Republic Cashiers will have  extra copies of these coupons anyhow.

But if you want to see what I’m talking about click here for the one time use Banana Republic Canada coupon.

Hey Boo! These is a summission for the Christmas contest.
 
The following is true.
 
First I have to say that my family and I are very very close.. although the we are seperated by the miles we talk 2-3 times a day.
 
Back in Christmas 2005, my hubby & I booked airline tickets to visit our families in Newfoundland (we live in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario). We only informed my brother, my Aunt Joan and hubby’s sister. The rest of our family DID NOT know any of the Christmas plans.
 
I informed my parents that we sent our Christmas gifts to the family via Canada Post (but of couse we kept them until we flew in on December 21). My Dad would visit the mail box everyday and no gifts..he went as far and going to the Canada Post post office and informing them there SHOULD be a parcel for him. but there was no parecel.  My Mom on the other hand was not really in the christmas spirits, she really wanted to see me and my husband for the holidays. We explained to her that we just couldn’t get time off work and all the flights we booked up. (Meanwhile we booked the flights back in September of that year).
 
So on Decemebr 21 we arrived in the afternoon and my brother picked us from the airport. The plan was to suprise my family at my Aunt Joan’s. My Aunt Joan had invited all my family at her house for supper, which is nothing out of the ordinary. My hubby and I landed and we went to my Aunt Joan’s  We called while in route, Aunt Joan never let on that it was us on the phone. So after supper everyone was watching the local 6:00 news (in their basement reckroom). We came in the front upstairs door and my Aunt Joan said to my family so that must be her son coming home for something that he forgot. 😉
 
Hubby and I went downstairs and walked into the room and my parents went into shock!! :0
 
My Dad started to cry like a  baby!! (the last time I saw my Dad cry was when my Grandfather died 8 years ago)  My Mom sat up and sat down – she didn’t know what to with herself. Both my parents couldn’t believe that we were there. At one point I thought my Mom had a heart attack for the suprise we gave her! She went all white and couldn’t speak!! Everyone started to cry, everyone was sooooooo happy and overjoyed!!! Mom then said “Oh I must go home and get home and get ready for Christmas!” You never seen a women move so fast to get home and prepare Christmas “tasks.
 
We gave the Christmas gifts on Christmas day and my dad started to laugh… rememebering all the times we travelled to the post office for the Christmas parcels. 🙂
 
Hubby and I left my Aunt’s house and started to visiting our friends and families that night. We surprised so many individuals that night, but surprising my parents was the best!!
 
That was one of the best Christmases ever!!!!
 
Thanks!
Janet

I’m very sorry for my very long absence. School took all of my time and I barely had any free time to do anything else. We’re back to normal now and you should be seeing more contests as well as deals on the blog.

Today’s sponsor is Pediped footwear which I personally think offer superb products. As a child, my Mom would only buy me “medical shoes” and I’ve come to really appreciate this over time since I never suffered from any walking/feet  problems. I like how Pediped go one step further and add the “Fashion” factor to their shoes. Fashionable medical shoes sounds perfect to me!

A dvd/Vcr for the low low price of only $1,952.45! What a deal! It even qualifies for free shipping! This smoking deal is currently out of stock but they’ll have more in stock soon, so pre order it.

Hahah, what a joke! Someones made a bit of a pricing error! I hope it didn’t sell out at this price. 🙂 Happy Sunday night Smart Canucker’s
