Online Flyers For Big Box Stores, Department Stores, Furniture Outlets, Liquidation and more...

Here's some more online store flyers to easily check the hottest deals and specials. I make note of my favourite stores flyer start days and check their sites the day or two before to see if there's any deals and bargains i'm interested in.

Best Buy
Canadian Tire
Fields
Future Shop
Giant Tiger
Grand & Toy
Home Depot
Home Outfitters
IKEA
JYSK
Leon's Furniture
Lowe's
Lumbermart
Moga Direct
Rona
Sears
Sodhi Furniture
Staples
The Bay
The Brick
The Source
Toys R Us
United Furniture Warehouse
Walmart
XS Cargo
Zellers

Online flyers are not only a good way to save money but a great way to save the environment too! I wonder if i'll see a day when there won't be any more paper flyers delivered to our home. I really like the idea of saving trees by not printing as many publications such as catatlogues, newspapers, flyers and other daily, weekly or monthly prints but I enjoy sitting down with the paper flyers more than viewing them online. Which way do you prefer to check the best deals and savings? Do you have a better way for retailers to get savings, deals, discounts, promotions and offers to deliver their messages to you? We love to hear your thoughts, please leave your comments.

Grocery Store Savings for Canadians


Often the grocery stores will post their flyers online prior to print flyers being delivered to homes. It's great when you can get the jump on hot buys before others and ensure that you don't miss out!

I learned my lesson this week about not checking online flyers on a regular basis. My PS2 stopped reading dark coloured discs this week and Walmart had a steal of a deal for $40 off the slim console; well my paper carrier delivered the printaper flyers on Saturday, Dec 27 and by the time I got to Walmart the 'apparent 2 skids' they had were sold out! Better luck for me next time!

More online flyers will be posted soon!

Ontarians can speak to a Registered Dietician for FREE...There's no limit to how many times you ask for information

I was looking online to find a specific diet for an aging relative, when I stumbled upon this site which offers free diet and nutrition advice. I decided to call and see if I could get a customized menu plan to help determine the best foods to consume for their situation. This has to be one of the most under-rated free services but sooo valuable. They help with vegetarian diets, finicky eaters, weight loss, diabetic diets, feeding infants, how to avoid risk of heart disease, supplements, daily nutritional requirements and so much more...

I thought with the holidays almost coming to an end and many of us are trying to get back into the habit of exercise and healthy eating habits that this would be a great site to share.

Eat Right Ontario is a free service which connects you with a registered dietician by telephone, email or you can find recipes online. What better way than 'free' can get you started back on the right track and get you healthy again.

EatRight Ontario is here to provide advice on daily food choices that will
help you live well and stay healthy. This service provides easy-to-use
nutrition information from Registered Dietitians to make healthier food
choices easier for you. Dietitians of Canada and the Ministry of Health
Promotion are working together to give the people of Ontario more ways
to connect with a Registered Dietitian and get trusted advice on healthy
eating at no cost. Everyone has questions on healthy eating, food and
nutrition.

Here are the three easy ways to reach a Registered Dietitian:


Visit the website for articles, tips
and recipes at www.Ontario.ca/EatRight
Email the Ask a Dietitian service

The National Do Not Call List has finally come to Canada!

The National Do Not call list was launched in Canada at the end of September. For those of you who aren't aware of this new service, it's headed by the Government and the CRTC to help reduce the number of unwanted telemarketing calls. However, this will not stop companies from calling you if you've done business with them in the past 18 months.

So many Canadians wanted to jump on board right away that the servers were overloaded within hours of the site launching! The site seems to be stable now (crossing fingers). If you would like more information about the National Do Not Call List check out the DNCL brochure. You can go here to signup!

Is this permanent? No, you will have to re-submit your telephone number(s) every three years, or if your telephone number changes.

So what exactly happens if someone violates this policy?

New legislation gives the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) the power to assign penalties of up to $1,500 per infraction for individuals and $15,000 for corporations that do not follow the National DNCL rules.

I wonder if this will make a difference to the telemarketing world or will they find a way around it by making the calls from another country? Tell us what you think.

Try Glade Essential Oils Scented Oil Candles For Free

If you live in the Southern Ontario area, check your local paper and subscription newspaper this weekend for the Smart Source coupon magazine.

You'll find a free product coupon (fpc) to try any SC Johnson Glade Scented Oil Candle Holder or Oust Candle Holder FREE!

The coupon is valid until April 2009 and has no maximum redemption value. Prices vary on these depending on where you purchase, but you'll save around $6 to $9 by using this FPC.

I've purchased the Glade Scented Oils Candle Holder in the past and they leave a wonderful fragrant scent in the house. The downside is that the candles melt quite quickly and the refills were over priced in my opinion. Refill packages offer 3 candles, however, they are not included in this offer .

Here's some newspapers that it was found in:

Toronto Star
