From Gloom to Bloom

The Beauty: Martha Stewart Yellow Sunflower Bouquet

Even if you get the winter blahs, your disposition can’t help but be sunny when you have this bouquet with medium to large sunflowers  in your home. It also comes with a glass vase so your presentation is nothing less than spectacular.

Piece of Cake

The Beauty: Birthday Flower Cake

The problem with edible cakes is that once you eat them, well, they’re gone. I’m not suggesting that you rule them out this year, but how about pairing it with a floral version composed of mini carnations and poms? It comes in your choice of vibrant or pastel colours.

Bargain Bonanza – I Believe I Can Fly (with Air France). I Believe I Can Touch the Sky (of Savings) – $50 off Orders of $500 Including Air France Flights

[ 0 ] October 14, 2009

Air FranceIn elementary school, I was obsessed at one point over The Neverending Story (the book and first movie only). Did you get into it? What were your favourite characters? One of mine was Falcor! How awesome would it be sitting on his back as he cuts the clouds? It would definitely be the coolest (and quickest) mode of transportation.

While flying dragons aren’t a feasible option (yet…hehe), the next best bet to traverse the blue skies is by airplane.

Whether you’re travelling to another province in Canada or you’re going outside the country, save on your flight by using the free Air France Canada coupons for $50 off orders of $500! But unfortunately this offer isn’t neverending – it’s over on October 30, so be sure to redeem them before the bell tolls.

It’s easy to book your flight online, and it takes mere minutes. Air France provides fair prices and all the comfort you expect for a safe and smooth flight to your destination.

Plan your holiday vacations now and book your flight online with Air France – now you’re flyin’! It’s so nice to have more money in your pocket, isn’t it?

[ 0 ] October 13, 2009

Runway fashion isn’t for the practical – it’s art. (Did you see that episode from a previous cycle of America’s Next Top Model where the challenge involved contestants wobbling in 10-inch platform heels? I cringed and had to turn my head away in disgust when one of them rolled her ankle so badly.)

But just because you leave the catwalk to the models and you strut your stuff on the sidewalk doesn’t mean you have to abandon your fashionable inclinations. Sears makes the translation from high end to affordable and accessible with ease.

Plus if you use the free Sears Canada coupons by October 31, you’ll get a sweet $10 off orders of $100 or more! Now that’s something to talk about, Jeanne Beker!

Introduce these as new additions to your closet:

  • Women’s Henri Pierre 13-inch Shaft Faux-Suede Pull-on Boots - When you want to colour your world, start with those pedal pushers
  • Together MD Beaded Gown - Sport a dress that shines as bright as your personality
  • Voila! Diamond-Patterned Tights - Add visual interest by throwing another texture into your fall looks
  • J.Lo Silvertone Wide-Link Stretch Bracelet - Add some hardware to a monochromatic outfit to live it up & make it modern

Embrace the beauty and creativity of fashion without digging a hole in your finances. When you shop at Sears, you’ll always get looks designed for real women and real life.

What Are Coupon Trains and How Do They Work? – Guest Post from This Bird’s Day

[ 0 ] October 7, 2009

Today’s guest post from This Bird’s Day shows you a different side of saving your Loonies. Instead of wasting unused coupons, pass them to someone who can take advantage of them! We hope you enjoy this post on coupon trains and their money-saving possibilities. – fi

Choo-choo, All Aboard the Coupon Train!

Have you ever wondered exactly how a coupon train works and where you can go to join one? In short, coupon trains are a way to trade the coupons you don’t want for the ones you do with other people either in your city or across the country.

Coupon trains usually consist of 5 – 10 participants. The first person, or the conductor, gathers the participants names and mailing info, and makes an ordered list of all participants so everyone knows where they fall in the mailing order. The conductor starts off the train by putting the coupons they don’t want into an envelope and mails it to the second person on the mailing list. The second person takes the coupons that they want out of the envelope and replaces them with the same amount or greater worth of coupons that they don’t want, then mails it on to the third person who then does the same. This continues until the coupons get to the last participant on the list. That person then takes out what they want, replaces it with what they don’t, and mails it back to the conductor who, by then, will have an envelope full of new coupons.

The rules to coupon trains are very simple.
1) Replace the coupons you take out
2) Try not to keep the train for longer than a few days – you should know approximately when to expect it, so have your coupons ready to go.

Coupon trains work best when you are close in proximity to each other (to shorten mailing times) and when everyone on the list has different preferences for coupons. If you have a baby, and want all of the coupons from the others on the list, you should make your preference known so others will know what to include. That being said, cross-country coupon trains work well too and sometimes you find some great coupons that were never displayed in your province (but you can use).

To find coupon trains in Canada, you can search online for Canada Coupon forums, or you can check out my site at This Bird’s Day. I maintain a list of coupon forums as I come across them in my sidebar under Savings Sites.
