Garmin’s Geko 201 GPS is on clearance at The Source for $79.99 (original price $229.99). If it’s not sold out at your local The Source, this is beyond doubt a hot deal. You can check the number of remaining gekos at your local The Source.
It’s sold out where I live 🙁

Gekos are the smallest and lightest waterproof GPS units on the market. Besides regular GPS features, the Geko 201 also includes four (Geko Smak, Memory Race, Nibbons & Virtua Maze) fun, interactive games that transform the great outdoors into a virtual board game.

Thanks David for being the first person to use the “Suggest a Deal” form, you truly are a Smart Canuck 🙂
Here’s the deal David recommended: Worldline.ca is offering long distance calls for a fixed monthly price of $3.95. It’s “0c a minute sponsored unlimited calling” since you’re required to hear a short 5 second sponsor-greeting before each call (not a biggie for me). Unfortunately though, you’ll have to pay a $10 Setup fee.

If you place many long distance calls within Canada Worldline.ca’s deal is definitely hot.

Here are some of the funniest comments on professors from their website:

20  You can’t cheat in her class because no one knows the answers.
19  His class was like milk, it was good for 2 weeks.
18  Houston, we have a problem. Space cadet of a teacher, isn’t quite attached to earth.
17  I would have been better off using the tuition money to heat my apartment last winter.
16  Three of my friends got A’s in his class and my friends are dumb.
15  Emotional scarring may fade away, but that big fat F on your transcript won’t.
14  Evil computer science teaching robot who crushes humans for pleasure.
13  Miserable professor – I wish I could sum him up without foul language.
12  Instant amnesia walking into this class. I swear he breathes sleeping gas.
11  BORING! But I learned there are 137 tiles on the ceiling.
10  Not only is the book a better teacher, it also has a better personality.
9  Teaches well, invites questions and then insults you for 20 minutes.
8  This teacher was a firecracker in a pond of slithery tadpoles.
7  I learned how to hate a language I already know.
6  Very good course, because I only went to one class.
5  He will destroy you like an academic ninja. 
4  Bring a pillow.
3  Your pillow will need a pillow.
2  If I was tested on her family, I would have gotten an A.
1  She hates you already.

I felt suspicious at first too, but after trying Voip Stunt I was stunned! They are actually free although as you probably expected, there is a teeny weenie catch.

The catch:
Free calls last for 1 minute unless you have credit in your VoipStunt account. You have to purchase a minimum of 10 Euros (~$14) every 120 days to keep your account active.

In a nutshell:
For $3.5/month you can make free PC-to-Phone calls to the following countries:
Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela

I personally think that this is one hot phone deal, especially if you make a lot of international calls. Give VoipStunt a try, without buying any credit (and without using your credit card at all), and decide whether it suits your needs.

CHAMPS Sports are having a friends and family 30% discount from the 31st March till the 2nd of April. You need to go to this page, print out the certificate and present it to cashier at time of purchase.

      

First of all, this post is dedicated to the Smart Canuck, Ryan 🙂
Rogers Magazine Service has teamed up with Aeroplan to offer a relatively hot deal on magazine subscriptions. You get up to 83% discount on magazines plus 350 Aeroplan miles for each magazine subscription. You can find more details and subscription prices here.

Who is this deal for?
– If you’re a serious Aeroplan collector, this deal is definitely scorching hot.
– If you were going to subscribe to the magazine anyway and you are not a Rogers customer this is probably the best subscription deal you can get.

If you’re a Rogers customer I still recommend Rogers Reader’s Advantage deal instead.

This sounds interesting:

So Home Depot are joining the deals craze! Here is what they had to say about their Hammer Drop Deal:

Visit homedepot.ca every morning at 8am EST and find a product at a price not available anywhere else – not even in our stores. We’re not talking about getting just 10% off, either. We’re talking about huge savings – so huge that it’s important you buy fast, because once the limited stock disappears (and trust us, it will) the deal is gone for good.

Nothing has ever forced me to wake up at 8am. Let’s see if Hammer Drop manages to pull off a miracle.

Or at least that’s what Shoppers Drug Mart employees and managers think after every Seniors’ Day! The number of iPods sold on every Seniors’ Day is just unbelievable! Why you ask? Well at 20% discount, this is probably the second best offer (best offer was here) you can ever get for a brand new iPod Nano or iPod Video.

This Thursday (March 30th) is Seniors’ Day once again at Shoppers Drug Mart. Time to take your granny to Shoppers and buy that iPod you’ve been dreaming of. Here is how much a 20% discount will save you (in Ontario):

iPod Video 30GB
before: $379 + 15% taxes = $436
after: $379 – 20% + 15% taxes = $349
you save $436 – $349 = $87

iPod Nano 4GB
before: $299 + 15% taxes = $344
after: $299 – 20% + 15% taxes = $275
you save $344 – $275 = $69

iPod Nano 2GB
before: $249 + 15% taxes = $286
after: $249 – 20% + 15% taxes = $229
you save $286 – $229 = $57
