my wife will be all over that yogurt deal...at least i can take that to work rather than eating holloween chocolates...

This week's awesome find/deal.....

For those who like imitation crab (kani-bo - for making sushi) Superstore has $1.50 off Seaquest 454g King Crab flavoured flakes or sticks coupons (tearpad at front of store). Not bad a deal, but if you go to the No Frills in Coquitlam, they have the stuff on sale - $3.88. With coupon from Superstore, it comes out to $2.38. $2.38 for a pound of that shit is not bad. The stuff freezes well, too.

Now, I'm not sure if the stuff is on sale at all No Frills. It's not advertised in their weekly flyer. Needless to say, these coupons disappear quickly. Like the Rule of Costco (get 'em while you can), you have to take a handful of the coupons while you can - 'cause chances are, they will go on sale another week. This particular coupon is good until the 16th of November and has been up for a while.

Safeway has a dozen Large eggs for $2 each. Limit 2 (3 day sale until sunday)
Also, the broadway/commercial location is still selling their 2L chocolate milk for $2.

Pricesmart (Grandview and Rupert) has some Hons potstickers (beef, chicken, pork, vegetarian) 4/$4.96 on sale (12pc = 335g a bag)
Poong dumplings (kimchi or vegetable) 50pc 675g for $2.28

Enjoy!

Before posting this on RFD im gonna put this here first.

Dollarama has a sale on Rain-X Wiper blades for a pretty damn good price of 3 bucks each.

No stock at Granville location, none at Kingsway and Knight, finally found them at richmond Bridgeport location.

They have sizes 16,18,20,22,24 no odd numbers but they will fit. Go get em before all the RFDers buy em in bulk.

^ It was already posted on RFD earlier this week
[Auto] Dollarama: Rain-X Winter Wiper Blades $3 - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Someone in the thread mentioned the limited shelf life of the rubber blades. Have you tried them on your car yet?

LP700-4 11-17-2012 04:14 PM

Dammit lol thought i was first to find out haha i was looking to buy some tape and randomly came across it. Even searched at RFD and didnt see anything.

Yea they work pretty darn good, super quiet. No chattering or squeaks at all so far. The rubber was still soft and everything a new blade should be. For 3 bucks though? Who cares if they dont last a long time.

Hon's Pot Stickers on sale at Price Smart.

4 bags for $4.96.

Only at the Price Smart under Canadian Tire on Grandview Hwy.

Each bag has 12 potstickers and comes with sauce. Only two flavours left - Chicken/Vegetable and Pork/Vegetable. No limit, either. Expires 02, 2013 to 04, 2013, so it's not old or anything. It looks like new packaging....... possibly promo?

Lots left when I got there. As soon as I started filling my cart with the stuff, all these Asian people converged to check it out, LOL.

I think they have more in the back. If you like Hon's pot stickers, now's the time to stock up.

MG1 11-17-2012 06:15 PM

Marks "buy 100 dollar gift card and get 20 bucks gift card" promo is back again.

I bought two of them. Actually, there was a limit of one per person, so I got wife to get the other one. Also picked up the 10 dollar off cards for December, too.

Did you go check them out after reading my post? :p

I'm surprised they only have the 2 flavours left. I thought the pork would've
been the first to sell out.

^ wow......... I never even noticed it. I did go to Safeway on Broadway for the chocolate milk, thanks to you.

I don't usually go to Price Smart. I got into an argument with management there. They weren't going to honour their price match policy - told me No Frills was a small company and they only matched prices from large companies like Wal Mart. I told them to take their ads down, because they were misleading. Ths was a year or so ago.

I went there yesterday to redeem coupons. Just to make their life miserable, LOL. I went to get free 4 pack Liberté yogurt and Catelli Smart using facebook coupons.

I guess I should have read your post more carefully :okay:.

Welcome to Marks

MG1 11-22-2012 12:27 AM

^^ 10 dollars off 50 sounds about right....... puts Safeway prices on par with other stores, LOLOLOLOL.

BTW, Safeway bakery, ftw!

I don't think I have ever spent more than 50 bucks at Safeway.

I like this thread way more than rfd.

Rfd = shit now, with all the ads and "hot" deals

Plus, this thread is local........... references to Donald's Market, Chong Lee, etc.

I had the Hon's pot stickers last night. Sooooo good - for what it is (Frozen).


Speaking of Chong Lee, if you use Tiger Balm, it's about the cheapest place to get 'em. Grey market stuff by the looks of it.

Did the typical RFD thing and bought this on impulse just coz it was cheap ($79 during lightning deal)...

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003XN4RIC/ref=gb1h_img_c-2_1562_A1SWKPBJJKVOZ0
Wonder how well it actually works.

Philips HF3470/60 Wake-up Light (White): Amazon.ca: Home & Garden

Wonder how well it actually works.

Bought on this past January, definitely helps especially in these moths where it is still dark at 6-7am. Key thing is to not snooze/ignore it as you're just gonna offset your body clock. Has a nice soothing alarm of birds chipping.

Is it still useful during the summer months, then?

Meowjin 11-22-2012 11:16 AM

How about a goblu lite?

Which is better?

costco has them for 150 too.

sonick 11-22-2012 11:21 AM

Kinda two different things. GoBlu is for light therapy, the Wake Up light is an alarm clock. Depends what you are looking for.

shawnly1000 11-22-2012 11:30 AM

GoBlu is for SAD (Seasonal affective disorder/depression)

The wake up light isn't that useful in the summer as if you have windows facing the sun you'll probabably be waken up by the sun/birds
