Smart Saver Vancouver

Today we are going to talk about money, or rather, how to save it. I always like to go shopping here since there are so many stores I don’t have at home. Since it is already mid-June the sales start in fashionland and therefore it is the best time to renew your summer wardrobe.

One of my favourites here is Victoria Secret, especially because this store is so huge and has a lot of options. The best time to go there is now, as soon as you can, since their semi-annual sale already started. Sometimes I am really disappointed by sales because they only take off 20%. It doesn’t really make me jump. Victoria Secret really goes the next level with sales of 50% and up. Besides that they also throw in daily specials on top of that, like bralettes for 5 dollars each. If you want to be up to date with their sales and deals, the best thing to do is sign up for their e-mails. Throughout the year they also have great deals, like a free tote with your purchase over 50 CAD. The semi-annual sale can be hectic though, since they put everything in boxes and women almost fight over pieces. If you don’t want to be part of this jungle, you can also easily shop online, where the semi-annual sale is featured too.

A second store with a semi-annual sale men can also provide from; Bath & Body Works. This store has, in my opinion, some of the best body care, hand soaps and fragrances there is. An unfortunate fact is that you can’t really buy this brand in Europe, except for Italy, Poland, Russia and Turkey.  These places are not around the corner for me, so I will buy in big and the best time to do that is now. Bath & Body Works also has his semi-annual sale now with deals up to 75% off. Besides that they always have good combo-deals throughout the year, like buy 3 products and get 2 products for free.

Last but not least: Urban Outfitters. This store has many brands featured besides their own clothing line so there is something for everybody. At the moment they also have a sale going on up to 50% for now, but this changes continuously so keep your eyes open. Besides that the store on Granville Street always has a sale corner where you can find some cheap treasures.

These are just a small grip off all the store sales that are going on at the moment, so if you want your wardrobe updated, get on Granville or Robson Street or go to Metrotown to shop the latest sale items and save some money!

I hope to see you all tonight at the Lamplighter, playing bourbon bingo like fanatics and celebrate Janels last days in Vancouver.

INTERNeX Canada: Smart Saver Vancouver – Boxing Day Shopping

Much like Black Friday in the United States, boxing Day is the day of sales and shopping for Canada and other Commonwealth nations. It occurs annually following Christmas Day on December 26th and is a public holiday in Canada.

Boxing Day began as a tradition of masters giving gifts to their servants and tradesmen receiving gifts. The days leading up to Christmas is to gift shop for your family and friends, but on boxing day, you are supposed to shop for yourselves!

Generally, the best deals will be only available on Boxing Day, but since shops are trying to get rid of their stock from their current season, boxing day has now become boxing week and sometimes even into January.

Again, there are a lot of people who go crazy and line up the night outside the mall or the store before just so they can have the chance to grab the “door crashers” which are special items on sale that are in limited supply, before they are all gone.

If you go to any mall or stores next Wednesday, there are bound to be tons of people and great prices for everything, but here are some websites with deals to check out if you want something specific:

Happy bargain hunting!

Cheers,

Queenie

INTERNeX Canada: Smart Saver Vancouver – Black Friday Sales!!

Happy Thanksgiving to our fellow neighbours down South! Like the Canadian Thanksgiving, the Americans also celebrate the season of Harvest by eating turkey and pumpkin pies with family and friends. The only difference is that it is in November instead of October!

This weekend also comes with two of the biggest shopping days in North America: Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Black Friday (November 23rd), as the title suggests, happens tomorrow where all the stores in the United States have these crazy, ridiculous sales and discounts off their merchandise.

Most sales starts right at midnight tonight so many keen shoppers are already lining up in front of stores right now! I suggest going down to Bellingham or Seattle this weekend to check out the deals or be spontaneous and join this West Trek Black Friday Midnight Shopping Tour that leaves tonight at 8pm!

While these two days of discounts have originated from the United States, many retailers in Vancouver and Canada are now participating to try and compete for customers. This is good news for us living in Vancouver as we don’t have to go all the way down to the States to save money (or I guess spend more money).

These Canadian websites, Red Flags Deals and Flyerland Vancouver, have a comprehensive list of the offers specific to us Canadians!

Cyber Monday (November 26th) is another day great day for us bargain shoppers, but the shopping is only done through online retailers! You don’t even have to leave your home to get great deals and discounts. This Cyber Monday website has all the best deals listed.

From my experience, the best sales are the stores that sell electronics such as Best Buy, Future Shop and even Apple have their rare, once a year sale! If you need a new laptop or iPad, this weekend will be your best bet.

I hope you get some great bargains this weekend! Happy Shopping!

Cheers,

Queenie

INTERNeX Canada: Smart Saver Vancouver

One of the things that I find more expensive in Vancouver is all the beauty products such a lotion, gel, shampoo, conditioner… So the other day I got mad when I saw in Shoppers Drug Mart such a good deal! Just for 10 dollars you got awhole beauty pack worth in more than 45 dollars! It includes body milk, deodorant, lip cream, toothbrush, tooth paste, conditioner…

There are different pack special designed for woman, adolescent or men! But for 10 dollars is even good to buy the three of them even if you are not a woman, or a men or an adolescent anymore!

You can get them in Shoppers Drug Market! There are a lot in Vancouver! Just check the closest for you!

But go quickly I am sure they will run out of in short time!

Cheers,

Irene

Guys and (especially) Gals, it’s that time of year again! The summer sales have begun. Walking down Granville street or Robson street puts a big smile on my face now because I can actually start to give in to my temptations and treat myself to some retail therapy 😉

H&M SALES!

H&M has always been one of my favorite stores. It’s cheap, trendy and it’s filled with must-haves. Even though it’s already quite affordable, sometimes I have to hold myself back from buying that one more expensive blazer. Sales go up to 70% off here; it’s enough to make anyone smile from ear to ear. Why don’t you check out the H&M on Granville & W Georgia St, there are still a lot of items on the shelves and the prices keep getting lower and lower.

PAYLESS SHOESOURCE!

Need some new sandals for the summer? Right now at all the payless shoesource stores they are offering a great deal. Buy one, get one 50% off. It is incredibly difficult to walk into that store and not want to buy a pair of new shoes; they a great selection of sandals of gorgeous heels.

AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS!

This Robson St store offers sales for both male and female clothing so watch out boys! At the moment there is a wide selection of casual shirts, vests, pullovers, shorts and jeans going for 50% off. Need a new summer wardrobe? Now’s the time to upgrade.

There are plenty of other stores that have started their sales so keep an eye out when you’re on your way home from work/school. Pop inside for a quick peek, you’ll be surprised what you’ll find.

Happy shopping everyone!

Cheers,

Lies
