Today’s contest is one of my personal favourites and the value of prizes in this contest can easily top $200 depending on what the winners have chosen. Today Thermos Canada thermosbrand.ca is sponsoring the contest.

I think the reason I personally like Thermos so much is because it’s always been a part of my life. I grew up knowing we had basic necessitates in life: TVs, video games (yes that was a necessity), couches, VCRs (oh no now I feel old), tables, chairs, … , and Thermos. My grandama and probably great great grandma owned a Thermos and so will I and very likely many generations to come.  Thermos is by no shadow of a doubt the manufacturer of the highest quality coolers, hydration bottles and food jars in the world.

SmartCanucks Giveaways Day 6: One person wins Cooler, one wins hydration bottle and one wins Food Jar from Thermos Canada

Today we’ll be having 3 winners!  One will win a Cooler of their choice, one win a hydration bottle of their choice and one will win a food jar of their choice.

How do I enter the contest?

About this Contest:

It’s here! SmartCanucks’ BIGGEST CONTEST GIVEAWAYS EVER! Every single weekday until 2010 I’ll be giving out atleast $100 worth of prizes daily!

After the success of the $10 daily contest giveaways we had earlier this year I decided to kick it up a notch… or ten… by giving out $100 daily instead! Of course I couldn’t afford that kind of money since I’m just a graduate student at Queen’s. So I decided to seek sponsors and I was surprised by the huge amount of interest I got. Many people were interested in sponsoring a contest day that we may end up going into January as well.

This contest is not your typical contest however! It’s fun fast and different! Here’s how it’ll work: Everyday we’ll have a contest and the winner(s) will be announced immediately the next day! There’s also another twist to this contest: You will win what you choose! To enter most contests you’ll need to leave a comment with a list of items you want to get! If you win you get these items for free.

You also have a good chance of winning since no person will be allowed to win more than 2 prizes throughout the span of the giveaways. This means that we’ll end up with loads of winners. Winners will be chosen randomly using random number generator.

As you guys requested I’ll be posting the video and listing the winners 😀

Click here for video of the 1st Winner – Note that I clicked on the random generator twice by mistake so I used the first number that showed up to be fair.

And the winners are:

• Blog: post 8 by Caring
• Forum: Post 9810 by Sunraven

Winners please sent an email to smartcanucks at gmail d0t com with your mailing address and the items you chose will be mailed out to you!

Total number of SmartCanucks Winners so far: 13

I’m Bumping this thread up since over the past year many people have shared loads of useful comments and tips. Check out the comments on this post.

Not only does Dollarama sell $1 pregnancy tests; you can get a lot of unexpected and high quality items for that price. Last year I bought golf clubs for $1 (they still had $20 price tags from the store they used to be sold at). Currently some of the good deals include a Belkin FastCat 5 Snagless Patch Cable 7″ for $1.

Have you come across any hot dollar deals at Dollarama? Please let us know by leaving a comment.

Thanks to the person who suggested this deal (without leaving their name). Dollarama stores now sell Maybelline XXL Mascara for $2. Considering that its regular price at Shoppers Drug Mart is $10, this is a hot deal.

Just in time for Christmas shopping!  Amazon Canada has a BOGO event going on from November 8-14 on Imagine and Petz games for the Wii and Nintendo DS.  Who doesn’t love 2 for the price of one on video games?!  The discount will be taken off during checkout (the free game will be the cheaper one).  There are games ranging from $19.99 to $35.99 to choose from.  And remember, you can get free shipping on orders over $39.

You can also get 20 free songs by becoming a fan of the Facebook iTunes US page. I’m not sure if they are the same 20 songs or not but I’m guessing they are.

The Free Small Coffee during breakfast hours is going to make a reappearance at a McDonald’s near you!  This promo is running from November 16-29 at McDonald’s Restaurants across Canada.  I never did get to take advantage of this deal last time the promotion was going on so I’m going to have to try harder this time.  I actually like the new blend that McDonald’s is using for their coffee too, much better than whatever their old coffee was.  I love free coffee!

Another thing to keep in mind with this promotion is that you can up size your small coffee and just pay the difference in price.  So if you want a large instead you only pay the price difference (I think it’s like 30 cents or something).

Huge thanks to 23edge for keeping us up to date on this great freebie offer.

Thanks Wayne  for suggesting this deal.

It’s that time again, Gap Inc Friends and Family event, this time it’s on Nov 12-15!!! You get 30% off everything, excluding gift cards and 5% of your purchase will be donated to charity.

Since it is Gap Inc, that means this discount can be used at Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic. Which can be very dangerous on my wallet. You need the invite, which is reusable, to get the discount, so be sure to get on these stores’ mailing lists (the Canadian ones of course) or get your invite from a Gap Inc employee.

Thanks to Nat for sharing this deal with us!

Please note: This is good for multiple uses! So go on and share it with everyone!
