Love the Earth and Love the deals! :)

This coming weekend is the highly anticipated Easter weekend.  It is the weekend where some people will head to the church for ceremonies, whereas others will head down to the States for shopping deals :)  For those who are not planning to head to the States, we have deals in Canada too!  This weekend is also a less well known celebration called Earth Day.  If you are like me, most people don't know when is Earth Day.  Nonetheless, there are events out there to help us remember and celebrate Earth Day :)  Remember: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!

P&G Brand Sampler is Back!

YEAH this time around you will get quite a bit of free samples.  I am expecting to receive herbal essence shampoo, Covergirl foundation, dishwasher soap (Cascade), Pringles Stix, Olay facial cloths, Crest whitening strips, and Crest mouthwash this time :)

In order to get the free samples, you'll need to become a member.  Registeration is free, and they won't send annoying newsletters if you chose not to receive them.  Depending on what you fill out in the survey during registeration, you will get different samples.  From time to time they'll have new sets of free samples to send out!  Samples will take around 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Welcome to my blog of shopping!

I believe there's a bit of shopaholic is each and every one.  And, of course, it would be great to get good deals on the things that we want to buy!  In this blog I'll share the deals and steals I find in the malls in Greater Vancouver and Lower Mainland, BC and online.  I get a lot of shopping deals from subscribing newsletters of different companies, checking out deals websites and discussion forums, and by word of mouth :)  I guess working in a mall gave me an advantage to keep track of the latest deals. 

My favorite website to check out deals is http://www.redflagdeals.com/.  Another great way to find deals is to sign up at Mallvibes (http://www.mallvibes.com/forum.php) and read the discussion forum. For coupon codes, check out http://www.retailmenot.com/.  I believe some of the deals that I'll post here will be from redflagdeals.  There are some of my favorite online shopping sites:
