After boxing day deals

2012-01-02T00:42:00.001-08:00

After an exciting year, we come to a new start to a new year. I am sure most people had the opportunity to view deals during boxing week. In general, deals can be found all year round, not just the week.

I will review deals from different categories that may catch some interest to viewers.

Household:
Dyson DC30, $98.99, Walmart. In store only. This is a great cordless handheld vacuum. Great suction, good for usages for automotives. Charge time: 3.5 hrs and last about 10 mins of full cyclone power with no suction loss! There is at least ten in stock at the local store at current time

Toys:

Megabloks , Thomas train sets, board games and misc toy are all CLEARANCE, with up to 60% off ,and buy one get one free at SEARS. I am not really big on toys and only picked these up as future presents. ( I hope the people who recieves these presents do not read this blog). I bought 2 of the highest value sets which is the: Mercades-mclaren formula 1 vehicle set 6702 for under $30 for both. Where the 50% and BOGOF both applied

Toys r us has this exact set selling at retail for $59 EACH.

Electronics:
Blackberry Playbook 16GB BUNDLE, $224.87, at THE SOURCE. The deal in general is warm at most. The Playbook is featured everywhere for $199, but this case has a value of $60. For an OEM case for just a quarter more, it is a worthy post. The Playbook's future seemed like an HP touchpad, where the it became extinct with little support from the parent company. But as time progressed from these fire sales, these little playbooks pack a big punch. Fast processor, full hdmi out, fluent camera, and upgrades that will make this berry last in the tablet field. The next upgrade is said to link over to the android market. Be sure to look for that!

Automotive:
Dunlop Graspic D3 Winter Tires, 50% off. Walmart selection and sizes vary, in store only. Only the Langford store carries it. We know it does not snow much, or at all in Victoria. At this price, it does not hurt to have the worst prepared.

I think that is it for now. TVs, Games, and major electronics are on sale almost everywhere. So look at your local flyer for those deals. Notable mentions is Sears, 50% all gaming software.

Rain-X De-icer fluid $3 off coupon at Canadian Tire. The winter breeze has not left us yet, and clear visibility is always important. This coupon drops the price of this fluid to $1.49. For the month of Jan only.

Seasonal:
Christmas items are clearance everywhere. All Christmas related items such as: trees, wrapping paper, decorations, chocolate, clothing, toys and being liquidated at most retail chains. Buy a tree now for a fraction of the price in preparation for next year which is approximately 330 days!
70% off - Sears
70% off - Walmart (SCARCE)
60% off - Zellers
50% off - London Drugs

Coldstone Creamery: B1G1F

2011-12-06T11:01:00.000-08:00

Directions: PRINT , USE, ENJOY! and don' forget to pay

Staples-Compaq netbooks (YMMV)

2011-11-13T19:04:00.001-08:00

Christmas is the next holiday and it is time to observe deals for those bargain gifts. This weekend, I found a Compaq netbook, cq10-610ca for $97.

The specifications will not blow you away, but it may be a good toy or present. This is not an advertised special, but clearance ; so your mile may vary and price match will not work.

Happy hunting!

Via Rail: Discount Fares

2011-10-30T11:43:00.000-07:00

Via Rail is Canada's National Railroad that stretches from BC to Novia Scotia. It covers multiple terrains and transform them into beautiful scenic routes.

Via has dropped some prices down, and now, you can ride in style from Vancouver to Toronto for $197. Did someone say they want to see a Winnipeg Jets game? You can get there for $123. For other destinations, please check this link. These seats are limited, so plan your date carefully for a ride does usually take more than 24hrs for most cross province travels.

Home Outfitters: Nespresso Coffee Machines $99

2011-10-28T23:29:00.000-07:00

Need to wake up in the morning? Nespresso machines offer gourmet coffee with their wonderful swiss designs. On sale they have D290, C180, C190, C185, E350 models for $99 a piece at home outfitters. These units regular price from 299-499 and they are an excellent price for this type of hardware. Reviews indicate that a capsule (cup) will cost around 60 cents, but the taste is just as memorable from a gourmet barista.

The down side is, these units use proprietary capsules that even home outfitters do not carry. These Capsules can only be purchased online or at their designated store, which there are 3 across Canada.

Reviews indicate that these models are more reliable and better made than the new models and suggest it is because the origin is from Switzerland. The capsule wars is similar to the BluRay vs HDDVD days; since Nexpresso is owned by Nescafe and a heavy cult of coffee drinkers, there is a chance that these will last.

HMV: Hockey Gold 2010 (bray/DVD) $10

2011-10-23T12:27:00.001-07:00

Year 2010 was a good year for Canadians. In the East, there was the G20 summit meeting. But for the west, the historic milestone will always be remembered with the winter Olympics in Vancouver BC.

The Olympic games brought the world to Vancouver. To the world, the winter Olympics consist of skiing, skating, boarding, etc. To Canada, hockey meant the world.

Hmv currently has the entire hockey set in bluray／DVD for $10. This set is regular priced @$69. I picked up the bluray set which contains 5 disc and it looks rather handsome on my book shelf.

This is not a regular tournament on a disc, but a piece of history. Be a part of history by picking up this set at your local HMV store.

TS: Logitech Harmony Remotes

Sears: ony® Cyber-Shot 12MP Camear $39

2011-09-08T12:00:00.000-07:00

This little camera makes a nice gift or present. It offers good value and great reviews. I had to refresh the page a few times just to make sure it is not a price error.

This camera retails @ $200 for most places, but it is discontinued. How bad can a 12MP camera be? This camera utilizes sony's proprietary memory cards but can now accept starnd SD memory cards.

Futureshop, Best Buy, The Source, London Drugs and Staples have already implemented the price drop while online stock has been depleted. Your mile may vary, and strongly suggest visiting your local retailer if your heart desires one of these.
