This tent, in green and rust colours, has great reviews online. Seen as a quality four-person tent for under $200, its only drawback is that it could be a little heavy.

With a free-standing two-pole design, a polyester fly that resists UV damage so it stays taut, and maximum weather protection with a factory-sealed fly and floor seams, this is a durable tent.

There are two doors with mesh zippered windows and two vestibules. It offers easy entry, superb ventilation and total protection from the elements.

It’s also easy to put up, with pole clips that quickly snap over the tent poles.

This item has free shipping.

Mosquito season is upon us and we need to be extra careful protecting ourselves these days with the West Nile Virus around. But, for me, DEET is not really an option, even though I do have fond memories of choking for ten minutes after being sprayed all over with bug spray as a kid. For only $10, you’ll get four packs of deet-free mosquito repellent patches for kids and adults, a $36 value.

• Click here to get this deal @ Parents Canada

You’ll simply have to place the patch on your family’s clothing and it will protect from mosquito bites for up to 72 hours. It really is that easy. There are six patches in each package, so you’ll get 24 patches for only $10. This is one deal I am going to take advantage of immediately. What’s great is that kids will think it is a sticker and they won’t fight you on putting it on.

You can purchase unlimited vouchers and they expire within six months of purchase.

Get ready for camping and backyard entertaining with this portable gas cooler, now only $299.99, regularly $369.99 at Costco Canada.

• Click here to shop @ Costco.ca right now

One thing I despise about camping is constant trips to get ice for the cooler, sometimes even twice a day. To make matters worse, I wonder about the food quality, if it stayed cool enough to be safe. Also, when the ice melts and all your items are floating in the water, it just doesn’t seem right to me. This cooler is a great solution to all those problems.

It is a three-way portable cooler, where you choose how you want to power it. You can use either a 12V DC vehicle’s auxiliary socket, a 120 V AC power supply or LP gas. So depending what you are using the cooler for, this cooler is versatile and can literally go anywhere.

With a 37 quart capacity, you can fit quite a bit in it for all your camping, day trip, and BBQ needs. It stores 48 12oz cans if you are using it just for drinks.

It has all the bells and whistles for safe and effective operation including all cords and adaptors. The magnetic seal and tie down rings make sure it closes and stays closed, so your food stays cool.

Shipping is included.

I have a love/hate relationship with camping. I love camping, but I do not like bugs. The two go hand-in-hand, so I have learned to accept the flying, buzzing and creeping nature that surrounds me when I camp. As much as I have accepted it, I still let out the loudest little girl scream when I found a GIANT thing with horns and claws inside of the running shoe I had been wearing for about an hour, which I had assumed was a rock.

In order to get the most out of camping, you need the proper gear. If you aren’t lucky enough to have a trailer, a tent will have to do. The great thing about a tent is its portability. You can camp wherever you feel like it, including in the deep backwoods.

Check out this two-person aluminum pole BackPacker tent. It is 4’8″ x 7′ in sage and rust, easy to assemble and has great weather protection. With two doors and extra guy-outs for bad weather, this is a comfortable yet durable tent. Now only $146.45, regularly $249.99.

If you plan to eat while camping (and I’m sure you do), you need a great multipurpose table for setting up food prep and doing dishes. This Coleman 32′x48′ folding table supports 300lbs and is height-adjustable. It folds in half for easy storage and transportation. Now only $53.07, regularly $89.99.

Keep your items dry on those long wet backpacking trips with this Aqua-Quest 100% waterproof backpack dry bag day pack in green. Now $35.99, regularly $55.

There are a lot of items that will go on sale in the month of October.  For some of these deals, you will want to wait until we are a couple of weeks into the month before you start to shop.

Clothing: Just like last month, summer items will be on sale at some awesome prices.  You will even find some great deals on fall clothing, but you are best to wait until November or December for that.

Thanksgiving Sales: These sales usually will not happen until after Thanksgiving.  You will find a ton of decorations and food at a fraction of the price specifically on turkeys, stuffing, and food items for big turkey dinners.  If you are looking for items like pumpkins and outdoor decorations, you are best to wait until the beginning of November after Halloween.

Gardening Supplies: Gardening season is coming to an end in most places in Canada, which means lots of sales.  Seeds, bulbs, and gardening supplies of all kinds will be on sale for some great prices. 

Camping Equipment: October is usually the month in Canada when camping is officially done for most people.  You will be able to find sleeping bags, tents and all kinds of camping supplies for a lot less because the season is over with.  The other thing you can buy at an affordable price is campers.  People & dealerships that want to sell their campers do not want to pay the storage fees for keeping the campers over the winter, so they sell them if they are wanting a new one in the springtime anyways.  If you have a place to store your camper for free and you would like to buy one for the next camping season, this is the time to do it. 

Toys: With Christmas just around the corner, a lot of stores are trying to get rid of overstocked toys to make room for all of the new toys to come out this holiday season.  Toy companies usually release new popular toys in November or December so that the kids will go crazy for them and the parents will buy them for Christmas.  This means that toy stores will have great sales on last year’s popular toys. Sears Outlet Canada has toys up to 70% off right now for just this reason.

Household Items in Fall Colors: I love October because that is the time that I can freshen up my house at a fraction of the price.  After Thanksgiving, you will find a ton of deals on household items such as place mats, candles, dishes, blankets and other items like this in fall colors.  I personally love the fall color palettes of reds, greens, browns and yellows so I take advantage of this and restock on some items. If you like these colors or are not picky with the color, you can get some awesome deals. 

Before you head out to shop for anything in store or online, make sure to check out the Bargainmoose coupon forum.  We post coupons, both printable and codes, daily for you to take advantage of.

These are some of the great sales to look out for in the month of October.  What other deals do you like getting in October?

If you are planning on camping this summer and need some equipment, Canadian Tire has a great sale on the most important piece of camping equipment, the tent! Get 50% off the huge 13 person Broadstone Tent.

• Click here to find a Canadian Tire

The Broadstone tent is on sale for $129.98 (reg. $269.99) until 15th July, 2011. The 21 x 17 foot tent has room for 13 with 4 separate rooms. Tons of room for a family and all their gear! I would never think that 13 people would actually stay together, but having done some tenting, this would be a great size for a family of 4-6.

One reveiwer rates it 5 stars, saying

This is an excellent tent and well worth the money as far as I am concerned. Setting this tent up is an ease, coloured coded poles go with fabric colour. Took two people less than 20 minutes first set up, no broken poles, no ripped corners, fly went on with ease. We are very happy with tent and are looking forward to more future uses of it.

This is an in store only deal at Canadian Tire.
