Freebie for Canada's Day at Second Cup



Visit a Second Cup location on Canada Day, July 1st from 10am to 12pm to receive a free Strawberry Italian Soda! No coupon required, I believe you can just show up during that time to receive your free drink.

Also, if you miss out on this deal, visit Second Cup on any Tuesday for any medium Italian sodas for $2.00.

FREEBIE ALERT! Free ANY Size Coffee or Drinks from Mac's Convenience Store (Dundas & Elizabeth St.)



A few hours ago I walked by the Mac's on Dundas and Elizabeth Street (in Toronto), and they had tons of huge signs for any size free coffee or drinks! The coffees also included hot chocolate or cappuccinos! I confirmed with the store employee, and they say it is free. Go check out this Mac's! I went by another Mac's and they did not have this promotion going on.

I grabbed a drink over 900oz (mixed Fruitopia and Sprite together), while my significant other grabbed a light roast coffee.

Excel - Win Free USB Key!



Simply sign up for this website: http://excelgum.ca/dashboard, then come back every day and enter into the contest. You need a UPC number to be able to enter, use this one: 0 649313 7

Every day there will be 50 winners (43,000 winners total)! Each USB holds 2gb, and works for both Windows and Mac interfaces. I haven't won yet, but hopefully entering often will give me a better chance!

I personally don't like garlic, but the garlic USB is pretty cute.

Free Trial of Bausch + Lomb Multi-Focal Contact Lenses



If you have never worn contact lenses before, this might be a good time to go visit your eye doctor, and see if the Bausch and Lomb Multi-Focal Contact Lenses are right for you! Get a free trial of these lenses by just filling in the form and printing out the certificate that appears. Be sure to ask if you will have to pay for any fees regarding an eye examination though!

I know my significant other has been wanting to try contact lenses, so this might be a good reason to go in and see if these lenses will work for him.

Click here to read more about these contact lenses, and print out the certificate for the free trial.




Featured Brag on "Save Big, Live Better" Blog!!!

Imagine my shock when I visited my Facebook page, and scrolling through all of my favourite coupon and freebie Facebook pages, when I see the name "Julianna"! It didn't register that that was my picture when a few moments later. How surprising! I did a short trip to Loblaws awhile ago, and I grabbed a few things. I would have submitted an image where I did a bigger shopping trip, but I didn't save any receipts for previous trips. Read more about my submission to Save Big, Live Better here: http://www.savebiglivebetter.com/2013/06/brag-loblaws-coupon-savings-julianna.html

Atkins Free Quick-Start Kit!



I saw this free kit from Atkins about two weeks ago, and it came in the mail the other day. I was not sure what to think about this program. I was more interested to learn how to STAY healthy, rather than focusing on how to lose weight.

The kit provides you with 3 FREE bars (chocolate coconut bar, chocolate hazelnut bar, and a chocolate peanut butter bar). The chocolate peanut butter bar has 16g of protein! The best part of this kit is the "Atkins Carb Count and Acceptable Foods List". It's interesting to read their information because when you think of healthy foods, and what to eat, they basically reiterate it for you. No big secret to losing weight here in my opinion! Just eat smaller portions of "healthy" foods and exercise. 

Overall I will try the bars, but in moderation. I will likely give them to my significant other who is looking to try some bars that are high in protein! 

(BTW. It says there are $7.00 worth of coupons inside this kit; there are TWO $3.00 off coupons for 'The New Atkins For A New You' book, while the other coupon is ONE $1.00 off coupon for an Atkins Advantage Bar or a Shake 4-pack).

If you are interested in having a kit mailed to you, there is a limit of one per household. Click here to register for one: http://ca.atkins.com/registration/

Toronto Food Fest 2013



The Toronto Food Fest is being held at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto (Markham & Shepphard). There will be plenty of food vendors there for you to grab a meal or buy a bunch of items to snack on. If you live in the neighbourhood, it doesn't hurt to go check out the Toronto Food Fest. Grab some free samples of San Pellegrino while you are there!

Coupon Match-ups!


Some new flyers are out today, so I will just quickly run through these flyers and post the matching coupons below (going off from memory here with these coupons!).

    • $2.88 - $1.00 off coupon from Arctic Garden's Facebook page = $1.88

I did not link some coupons to where I found them because they are no longer available, so hopefully everyone requested those coupons before they ran out! I personally enjoy looking at the new flyers each week; there are still a bunch more for other stores, so let's wait for those to come out soon.

Want a FREE Medium Slurpee? Go download the 7-Eleven App available in the Apple Online Store or Google Play! You will have to sign up, go into any 7-Eleven stores, show them the coupon by going into your savings tab (the dollar sign button), and the cashier will redeem the coupon for you.

The benefits of joining this program:
  • Monthly product offers (One of the offers for this month: Sundvik Grey Brown Crib for $129.00, $159.00 for non-members)
  • Additional discounts in their restaurant

Walmart FREE Photo Mug with 60 - 4x6 Prints PLUS FREE 15 - 4x6 Prints!


Everyone seems to be mentioning the free 15 - 4x6 prints at Walmart, but the BEST deal is paying for 60 prints (currently $0.15 each) and getting a FREE 11oz photo mug (also grab the additional 15 - 4x6 free prints while you're at it, use the promo code 15FREEPRINTS). Just add the photo mug of your choice to your cart (only applicable on the full photo wrap, multi-image mug, or the scrapbook style mug), use the promo code BONUSMUG at checkout, and the photo mug should appear free!

That means 75 - 4x6 photos, and an 11oz photo mug ALL for $9.15 (not including taxes). PS. The picture you use for the photo mug counts as 1 - 4x6 image = $0.15.

This was an amazing deal because I haven't printed photos out for over a year, so finding 60 pictures to get printed didn't seem so difficult. At $0.15 a print, it's a great price for having a company print it out for you.

Previous Downtown Toronto Freebies!



Since I live in the downtown Toronto area I always see companies giving out free samples or products. They are usually located on the corner of Yonge & Dundas, Mutual & Dundas, or around Queen Street West.

I realize that when I grab these free samples or products, I can't update my blog right away to inform others about these freebies (I don't have a data plan). But from now on, once I get home or to a WiFi hotspot, I want to ensure others know about these promotions going on!

For now I will just post information about free promotional items that I have been able to receive lately.
This past Sunday outside the Chapters Indigo at John & Richmond Street, due to Indigo Teen ARCs day, they were giving out reusable bags with a teen advanced reading copy (ARC) book, and a $5 gift card. I went with my significant other, and we both received one (they stamped everyone's hand to ensure only one per person).

Just last week around Queen Street West and Yonge & Dundas, Pepsi was conducting a small test of whether people preferred Pepsi or "The Red Guy" as they called Coca Cola. After doing the taste test, you received a bag of Spitz's Dill Pickle Flavoured Sunflower Seeds (did you guys know that Brett Laurie from the Blue Jays is pictured in their advertisements?). My significant other and I also received a can of Mountain Dew's new Citrus Charge on Mutual & Dundas Street.
It seems that energy drink companies such as Red Bull, Red Rain, NOS, AMP, etc. all love to provide free cans of their drinks to people around the Yonge & Dundas area! Is it because of all the university and college students around? I am not a fan of energy drinks when I need to be energized (to study), but I always grab one because I know friends who always pay for these drinks and they don't seem that cheap!

Hopefully the next time I see these freebies around the downtown core, I will be able to share it with everyone else. These promotions are usually never advertised, and one of the ways you can spot a nearby freebie is if EVERYONE seems to be holding onto one type of product! Then you'll know that a freebie is nearby.

Free Coffee When You Join Timothy's World Coffee Club!




I personally LOVE Timothy's! They are an amazing company that makes great coffee. Click here to sign up for Timothy's World Coffee Club, and they will send you an email with information on how to print your coupon for a free 12 oz. cup of coffee (a small). 

I went to redeem my coupon today with my significant other, and I decided to pick the light roast coffee called the Breakfast Roast (the barista was very knowledgable and gave us such great detail on which coffee to pick!). I wanted the strongest coffee caffeine-wise, so he suggested the Breakfast Roast. Such great customer service and atmosphere at Timothy's! 

Herbal Essences for $1.24 each at Loblaws! (Excluding tax)



As I posted in my previous blog post, Loblaws is currently having a sale on ALL Herbal Essences 300mL bottles for only $2.49 BUT if you have your P&G brandsaver coupons (click here), you get a bottle free. Use the "Buy one Herbal Essences product (300mL) and get one FREE" coupon.

When you use your BOGO coupon from P&G, you will get TWO bottles for $2.49 (plus tax) = $1.24 (plus tax) for each Herbal Essences 300mL bottle!

I went a little crazy when I bought mine, and I picked one of each type of "2-in-1" that they had available. I couldn't decide! They all smell amazing, PLUS they all help with different things (dry and damaged hair, increase hair volume, make hair smooth, and hydrates hair).

If you haven't ordered your BOGO coupons from P&G, go do it down and get the Head & Shoulders BOGO coupon as well while you're at it.

Coupon Match-ups!



Lately I've been accumulating coupons but I haven't had the chance to use them! Now with the help of online flyers to some of my favourite grocery and drug stores, I can now quickly scan for sales and match-up my coupons to them. Here are some of my favourite sales for this week (some of these sales will either end on Wednesday June 19 or Thursday June 20).

  • Covergirl products 20% off (Also use the $2.00 off P&G coupon to get even more savings)

Walmart's LiveBetter Magazine (Coupons Inside!)


Go grab a copy of Walmart's magazine LiveBetter! I found a bunch of copies by the entrance of the store. The magazine is filled with great quality pictures, recipes, and information about everything (food, home decor, etc!). It also includes a bunch of coupons, $0.75 off any Smucker's products and three coupons for Crest products ($1.00 off one, $2.50 off two, and $4.50 off three). The Crest coupons are the same ones as the ones P&G are giving away on their website (and inside the P&G BrandSaver mail-outs). 

Share Your Baby's Picture For $1 off Cheerios and a Coupon for Free Liberté Baby Yogurt!



Interested in a coupon for $1 off Cheerios Original Cereal? Then go to General Mills Canada's Facebook page and update a picture of your baby eating Cheerios! I believe you have to wait until the picture gets approved, and then they will email you the coupon.

ONCE UPON A FIRST TIME…
Introducing Liberté’s all-new line of yogurts for infants aged 9 months and older

Another promotion going on where you have to upload your baby's picture is with Liberté, click here for their Facebook page, upload a picture of your baby, and you will receive a coupon for a free pack of Liberte baby yogurt.

Free Sample of Venaforce Gel (4g)



I just checked my email, and I received an email from A.Vogel for a free sample of their Venaforce Gel. This product is for the relieving the symptoms associated with varicose veins, and therefore it is in your judgment whether you would like to request this sample. There are 3000 samples available. Click here to request one.

Another great tool on their website is this quick test to determine if you have a possibility of developing varicose veins. Feel free to click here for the test.

Free Movie Screening: The Bling Ring by Sofia Coppola



Do you live in Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Halifax, or Edmonton? Then CLICK HERE to be directed to eOne Films' Facebook page and get 2 free movie tickets to see the advanced screening of The Bling Ring!

Bulk Barn Coupon for $3 off $10 Purchase



Here's your chance to print TWO COUPONS for $3 off $10 purchase from the Bulk Barn website. For the first one, just click here to go to Bulk Barn's website, this is valid from Friday June 14 to Thursday June 27. The next way to get ANOTHER $3 off $10 purchase is by filling out a survey on their website (click here), and it's valid from Friday June 14 to Thursday July 4. 

Bulk Barn is my favourite store for purchasing snacks because it's easier to buy a small amount to sample! Plus, it's great for buying small amounts of flour for baking desserts or pancakes. Make sure your purchase is $10 BEFORE tax for this offer to work.

BUT if you're a student or a senior and you don't feel like purchasing $10 worth of goodies from Bulk Barn, visit on a Wednesday for 10% off your total purchase. Enjoy!!

D'Italiano Buns $1.22 at Wal-mart with Coupon!


You might be starting to see a trend with the items I am purchasing. I went to Wal-mart today and noticed all these deals! D'Italiano buns of all variety (Crustini Buns 8-pack, Crustini Sausage Buns 6-pack, Brizzolio Hamburger Buns 8-pack, or Brizzolio Sausage Buns 6-pack), are all $1.97 each, but if you requested the Save.ca coupon, you can get any of these buns for $1.22. You can still order the coupon (click here).

I personally picked the Brizzolio Hamburger Buns 8-pack to go with the turkey burgers that I've been obsessing with lately. Hamburger and sausage buns can be much more pricer than average sliced bread, so this is a great deal for those who enjoy their burgers and sausages!

Enjoy!

Buy ONE Get ONE FREE! Head & Shoulders, and Herbal Essences



Go to P&G BrandSAVER now to request your BOGO FREE Head & Shoulders and/or BOGO FREE Herbal Essences! Wal-mart in particular is having a sale on their Head & Shoulders shampoos and conditioners for $3.96 each (originally $5.68) until Thursday June 20, 2013. No sale on Herbal Essences at Wal-mart, but hold onto that coupon because they usually go on sale for around $3 as well (at Shopper's Drug Mart, Wal-mart, etc.).

Buy 1 bottle of Head & Shoulders at Wal-mart for $3.96, and get the second bottle free. That's $1.98 each bottle.
