If you own a Visa card, before you head out on your next shopping trip, or book your next vacation, check the visaperks.ca website. There are some great savings to be had with coupon vouchers for in-store use and coupon codes for online shopping. Some good deal examples we found include; $50 off each nights stay at participating Fairmont hotels, Canadian Family 1 year subscription for only $10 (70% savings), $10 off $50 at Gap stores, and buy one, get one FREE waffle cones at Baskin Robins. Definitely worth a quick search of their site for these savings!

Superstore and Extra Foods have pretty low prices to begin with on toys, household goods and clothing and on September 4th & 5th the deals get better with their TAX FREE days (from open until closing). This would be a great time to grab any household electronics you've been eying up!

This long weekend, September 3rd - 6th, Banana Republic Canada is having an in-store "win your salary" contest and each non-winning game card will give you either 15%, 25% or 50% off your entire purchase (valid September 3rd-6th). Winning a year's salary would be great (it's a minimum of $50,000 so no worries for all us stay-at-home moms, they actually have placed a bit of value on our efforts!), but with the 15% - 50% off it's really a win/win either way. Check here for store locator.
