Free Olay Body Wash & Secret Deoderant @ Superstore

Do you still have those awesome $9 off when you buy 3 P&G beauty product coupons? Because things are on sale at Superstore again this week which means free stuff. I only had one coupon from the flyer because there is a flyer thief at my grandpa's house Humph. I also got 2 coupons from brandsaver.ca.

Anyway, Olay Ribbons body wash is on sale for $3.25 each when you buy two, and Secret deoderant is $2.47 to $2.49. There are also $5 when you buy 2 coupons as well that you can use for free Secret deoderant or Satin Care shave gel. HELLO, free stuff! I already made two trips to Superstore and used up my coupons.

Thrill the World (Oct 23)

Thrill the World is happening today! People around the world simultaneously dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller, with any money raised from the event going to a charity. It's bound to be a fun event, whether you are participating or just watching. For Vancouverites, the dance will be happening at Roundhouse Community Centre (in Yaletown) at 4pm today. See you there!

Canadian Tire Scratch Cards are Back! (Oct 22-24)

Canadian Tire is having another scratch card event! A scratch card should have been delivered with your flyer yesterday. This time the prizes are one of 3 $5000 gift cards, with the other cards having a value pf $5, $10, $25 or $50. Pretty sweet, I'd say. Not like last time with the cake!

Remember you can combine coupons with the scratch card (there are instructions for the cashier on how to do this on the back of the card) to maximize your savings. It's the perfect time to get some small items for free. For example, you can buy $5 worth of toilet paper and get $5 off from the scratch card - you'd only have to pay the tax! Or if you have Canadian Tire money, you can use that as well.

Happy shopping everyone!

Apple iPad - Product Review

So I've been using the Apple iPad for a while now and thought I'd share some of my thoughts on it.

The iPad comes in a regular Wi-Fi model and 3G model as well (which is about $100 more). The LED-backlit screen is touch sensitive and 9.56 x 7.47 inches, which makes it a little cumbersome to carry around in my purse (why not just use a phone and/or iPod?!) so I don't. The battery life is good, at 10 hours of surfing.

While it's definitely lighter than my laptop (1.5 lbs, 1.6lbs for 3G), has a fast start-up time and of course, the apps, a huge biggie puts me off: it doesn't support Flash. Steve Jobs, what were you thinking!! A lot of the sites I visit and videos I watch is Flash and so I'm limited to what I can do on the iPad. And no camera? What! It's pretty useless to me, except for checking my email and social media sites, or going on Youtube. Can't even watch my tv shows on it. Humph.

I still think it's just a glorified giant iPod and definitely not worth spending $549-$879 for one. It seems people automatically think a product is the greatest thing ever just because it has the Apple logo on it. Nice work on the marketing, Jobs.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is coming out soon as the direct competition to the iPad, and I'm eager to see how it compares. Can't wait until November!

FREE Amazon Gift Cards - Swagbucks & Irazoo!

Swagbucks is an awesome search and win site where you can earn rewards FAST. It's easy to do and you get 30 swagbucks right away if you use the link below. So far I have cashed out for $235 Amazon.ca gift cards.  There are tons of prizes to choose from, like other gift cards, cards,  comics, Wii and PS3 consoles, Nintendo DS, you name it! So many prizes  to choose from!  

All you have to do is search and you  might be rewarded with points. The fastest way to earn is through  swagcodes, that are released several times a day. You can find it  through their blog, searchbar, facebook, twitter, etc. Also there are  points for daily polls, checking out the survey link and the daily  special offers link!



Irazoo  is another great search and win site that I've been using for even  longer than Swagbucks. They recently changed it so that it's just like  Swagbucks - you win points for searching, and there are also treasure  codes. As a summer special, they brought back the rate and earn portion  of points - when you do a search, you can comment and rate a site for 50  points. They limited it to 100 points a day though (used to be 300!).

Canadians  are only allowed to redeem for Amazon.com gift cards, but if you live  in the states, you have access to the other prizes as well, like gaming  consoles, cameras, computers and other gift cards. I have already cashed  out for $125 Amazon.com gift cards!
