That Vileda spinny mop is the shit. Game changer.

it really is, our floors are sparkling now. We ended up their newer dual bucket one (hiding in the corner of the check out at lowes) instead of the one pictured above.

The dual bucket is significantly better as you are always rinsing with clean water instead of putting the mop back into a dirty water bucket.

This one here, but lowes had it discounted to 48 bucks (not bad)

Badhobz 10-08-2023 08:46 PM

Think most of the good items have been picked over in the sales campaign this weekend.

I think the best deal was at Costco with their electronics discount over $1000:
- $200 discount between $1,000-1,499
- $300 off between $1,500-1,999
- $500 off >$2,000

New iPhones for $300 off is a pretty solid deal - they sold out very fast. Full list here:

London Drugs also had an Apple Watch Ultra Gen 1 for $800, but that's over now.

I bought the mop on Amazon open box (brand new) for only $15.00 a bit ago. Man I was happy I got it for so cheap. The things you get excited about the older you get.

if you want to take it to the next level you can start your pottery hobby business as well

I copped airpod pros, ipad 9 and xm5s for xmas gifts. Wanted to swipe the remaining $200 off at $2,000+ but everything sold out for phones. Stuck with my iphone XS

So, I was at the No Frlls on Hastings near Clarke Drive (Gourmet Warehouse). I used to avoid that location because it was once owned by the DTES Slum Lord, Sahota. I've been going there more often lately, because....... new owner. They have like the most amazing in-store specials. Always something on uber special. Today, I saw the PC Fresh Pressed Sweet Apple Cider on sale for $2.99. It's 3 Litres. Superstore and other places $7.00. Not bad for some pretty good apple juice. Last week, they had Cap't Crunch Cereal for 96¢ On top of that, the box had a coupon for a free box of Cap't Crunch Bars (worth $3.49). Today, I went to No Frills to get some of those No Name chocolate bars. $1.00 each. Made in France, and according to the manager, it's made by Lindt? Anyway, I love the dark and Almond ones.

Don't forget to raid Save-On, Safeway, Superstore for Halloween candy for next year.

$2.00 8 pc Nuggets at Bugger King. App only. One time use. Available till the 19th.

National Nugget Day. Like WTF?

Razor Ramon HG 11-13-2023 02:38 PM

I remember they were $1 before COVID, lol

punkwax 11-13-2023 03:07 PM

I seem to recall reading comments here that they were hardly worth the $1 IIRC :lol

Anyone else get the free alkaline water from Journie app? I've been trying to find it at all chevrons but none have it, anyone know of some stations that still have it?

MG1 11-20-2023 05:02 PM

Canucks game tonight, so was going to get a $4.00 something from McD's. Then, I remembered, the BOGO at Subway. Buy a 6 inch and get one free!

I ordered the cheapest one. Cold Cut Combo. Doubled up on everything, except tomatoes (yuck and messy) then added as much free stuff as I could. Ended up $6.xx I have so much gift cards from those buy gift card, get free six inch promo's. Damn............ a good deal for some fresh (relative term) food.

Late to the game but I got mine from the 37th/vic Chevron. The 52nd/vic Chevron was converted from a Husky and didn't have the fridge space for it.


Anyone else get DQ coupons? I went to redeem the 2 can dine double bacon/fries/drink.

While the cashier had his back turned, I grabbed the coupon off the counter. It's good for another month.

Duffins is still a way better value but the wait time is super long. Double bacon cheeseburger with fries is super filling.

Princess Auto is having their $15 off $75.00 promo again. Get the vouchers now to redeem them in the New Year.

Nissan Canada has Yakima accessories for up to 80% off.

Timberline set of 4 towers for $48, 60" CoreBar for $48. Loadwarrior basket for $86

Your local dealer may have different stock. I ordered the tower and CoreBar.

Damn, good deal. I've been on the hunt for the roof box!

68style 01-30-2024 12:05 PM

My sister grabbed one for her RAV-4... not totally sure if it fits, but she has cross bars so it should be okay? lol

Mikoyan 01-30-2024 12:46 PM

Pretty sure the attachment clamps are universal.
