Do you know what’s worse than an overdone steak? Me neither. There are ways you can figure out done-ness by comparing the softness of the steak to your hands, but that seems like a lot of thinking. Instead, use a mini meat thermometer, regularly $14.99, now only $11.24 with promo code.

Want the flavour of smoke, but don’t want to shell out all the money for a smoker? Use a wood chip smoker box, regularly $14.99, now only $11.24 with promo code.

Pizza made on the grill is utterly delicious. Use a non-stick pizza tray like this one, regularly $19.99, now only $14.99.

There are two great deals happening at Home Depot Canada right now. When you buy any propane gas BBQ in store, you will get a free propane tank.  If you are buying  a charcoal or natural gas BBQ online, you will get free shipping with your order.

• Click here to shop @ Homedepot.ca

For both deals, you will need to buy a BBQ that is $299.99 in price or more which is very reasonable.  From my experience, I have found that a BBQ is an item that you should spend a little more money on to get the better quality.  Spending $299.99 or more is really not a lot for a good quality BBQ.

In addition to the free propane tank for when you are buying your BBQ in stores, you will also get free assembly with any BBQ that is priced at $299.99 or more.  This is great because it will save you a ton of time setting it up yourself.

The online deal is also a great one.  Normally the cost of shipping would depend on what you were buying and how heavy it was.  Since a BBQ is a pretty heavy object, you will most likely be saving a bundle on the shipping costs.

Either way, if you are shopping online or in stores, it is worth checking out The Home Depot BBQ’s because of these awesome deals.

Easily the best BBQ I’ve owned and I’ve owned a few, heats up really fast for searing, and maintains heat at lower settings. I got a good price on sale. Owned it now for couple months .. I use it a lot, you can buy bigger if you want , but this one’s great. removable tray for easily cleaning it, and a drip pan. electric starter even works. solid frame , not wobbly like some.

Walmart Canada has some great deals on barbeques and fire pits right now and they ship free!

• Click here to shop @ Walmart.ca

You know summer is approaching when the smell of bbq’d meat and firewood lingers around the neighbourhood. Some days I just want to walk into people’s backyards and see what they are cooking. They could be cooking an armadillo and I bet it would still smell good. As you can tell, I love BBQ.

This Black & Decker 5500 series LP gas grill with side SEAR burner is $102 off, now only $396, regularly $498. I find this BBQ pretty cool because you can sear your meat on the side burner and finish it off on the BBQ.

I’d totally love a smoker. Just thinking about the juicy meat, crispy skin, smoky flavour, I feel very hungry. This Akorn Kamado Kooker grill/smoker is on rollback, now only $326, regularly $328.

Now that I’ve got the food covered, I’d also love a fire pit to sit around my backyard with a glass of wine and a few friends. This 30″ Chelsea slate top fire pit in rubbed bronze is also on rollback, now only $86, regularly $98.

Like I said, shipping is free for those items.

This BBQ qualifies for free shipping! That is a big bonus on something with this weight/size. There are two revies, and both are quite positive. Here is the one that was in English:

It took me 4 hours to put together but the instructions are clear and the holes line up for screws. A big improvement from the last time (it’s been awhile). I am impressed with the quality of the metal and fittings. I bought it on sale for $250 but think it’s regular price ($300) would have been a bargain too. Fired up the first time and reached 500 degrees in only a few mins. Powder from the searing burner spilled out when I tipped the box – that’s the only con and it was my fault.

The reviewer bought it on sale for $250 and thought it was a good deal – $198 is even better!

I am really impressed with my new BBQ. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy once assembled. The cooking surface is large and and it has more than enough BTU’s. I love the side burner and use it frequently. I looked at several BBQ’s before making a purchase and I am very happy I chose this one.

A BBQ is a great Father’s Day gift for dad (but keep in mind it will not be delivered in time).  A BBQ is something that I consider a good investment because you can use it year round and when you cook outside, it will save you the cost of running a stove or microwave.  Often times you will find us cooking our entire dinner on the BBQ outside.

I can’t believe it is already June, where does the year go?  With another month come some great monthly deals.  Most of the deals for the month of June are pretty predictable with many different events happening.  Of course, we post the awesome deals on our blog but there are always some great coupon codes in our coupon forum added daily as well as some awesome deals on the hot deals forum for you to take advantage of.

There are many different sales cycle events that are the catalysts behind some of the great deals in the month of June.  Most of the great sales will revolve around at least one of these events.

Father’s Day: Father’s Day is the main reason why you will find so many great deals on electronics and tools in the month of June.  The go-to gifts for dad seem to be fun gadgets so you will find deals like The Source Canada Customer Appreciation sale with items up to 60% off.  As for tools, you can find deals like this bosch deal from Amazon Canada. Stores know that most people will buy from one of these 2 categories for dad so they focus their deals on them.

End of School: At the end of June (sometimes earlier) is usually the end of the school year.  This means parents are scrambling for a thank you gift for their child’s teacher.  A lot of deals in June are geared towards this idea of a gift of appreciation.  Places like Lavish & lime have deals gear towards teacher gifts.

Graduation/Prom: This is a huge event in most families’ lives and usually a graduation comes with some sort of gift for the grad. Jewellery is a common gift so you will find a lot of deals on necklaces, rings and earrings.  Peoples Jewellers has a coupon code out that will save you $10 on your purchase right now.  Along with grad is prom.  Items like flowers and dresses will go on special.  Anything associated with grad and prom, you will be able to find some deals.  Even though I am well past the “prom stage” in my life, I always look around this time of year for dresses to buy for any upcoming weddings. You can find some really great deals on anything formal.

Clothing: You will start to see some good summer deals here and there but the biggest discounted clothing will likely be spring fashions.  The stores are reducing spring clothing like this huge Ecko sale that was posted about earlier or this Rickis sale with some great deals.

Canada Day: I know what you are thinking… Canada Day isn’t until July 1st?  Even so, since Canada day is at the beginning of July, you will start seeing a lot of red tees and tanks going on sale at the beginning of June for those whose want to be patriotic.  By the end of the month the price of red clothing will be significantly higher for those last minute shoppers so it is best to get those items early.

Outdoor Entertaining & Activities: I told you last month when I was posting about the May sales cycles to wait until June to buy a new BBQ.  Well this is a great month to do it.  Not only are the on sale because let’s face it, who doesn’t like to BBQ in the summer, but it is a great Father’s Day gift as well.  Any type of outdoor activity that has to do with BBQ and patio usually comes on sale in June.  Items like kid pools, bikes, outdoor toys and sports items are great deals in June.  The next time you will see the best deals on these items are in September when they are trying to get rid of them to make room for the fall items.

There really are so many great deals to take advantage of in the month of June, these are just a few.  What deals can you think of that are the best in the month of June?
