Lush makes a fantastic gift. A friend of mine and I tend to just exchange Lush presents! I love their Bath Bombs, especially Twilight ($5.95) .

At my local Shoppers Drug Mart there is a clearance section right at the back. We got an amazing deal on some Alergen packs that were originally $16, on sale for $2.97 because the company was changing the package and the number of tablets in the package. So this was older stock. They don’t expire until 2013.

Thanks to Mooser Lara for sending us this deal!

Get a $10 grocery gift card when you buy 5 cases of Nestle Pure Life water between now and the 30th of September, 2011. The five cases of water do not have to be purchased at the same time on the same receipt.

• Click here to get the mail in rebate form

The Nestle Pure Life water that is eligible includes:

• Nestle Pure Life Natural Spring Water: 6 x 1.5L, 12 x 330mL, 12 x 500mL or 12 x 710mL
• Nestle Pure Life Splash Flavoured Water: 9 x 330mL or 6 x 500mL

You must send in the 5 UPCs, the completed rebate form, a self-addressed postage paid envelope and the original receipts with products identified before 31st October, 2011.

There is a limit of one rebate per household and you should expect your rebate within 4-6 weeks.

Grocery gift cards will be issued for one of the following retailers: Loblaws, Provigo, Zehrs, No Frills, Maxi, Real Canadian Superstore, Real Atlantic Superstore, Fortinos, Valumart, Extra Foods, Metro, Food Basics, Super C, Marche Richelieu, Sobeys, IGA, Foodland, Thrifty Foods, FreshCo, Price Chopper, Walmart, Highland Farms, Zellers, Safeway or Longo’s. The  gift card will be issued for the participating retailer that appears on the majority of the receipts submitted.

It doesn’t say that you have to purchase the water from one of the above retailers, however, it might be a good idea if you want to get your rebate. Wait for a great sale on water and you could be getting it for free (just like out of the tap ). I try not to buy too much bottled water, but there are times when it is just so convenient.

(Expires 30th September, 2011)

If you have a few pets, these deals can be quite useful. Especially for ongoing purchases like food and litter. We are looking into a new litter these days, called SwheatScoop. It is biodegradable and made of wheat. For those who are eco-concious this is a renewable resource and doesn’t have to end up in the landfill: you can flush it down the toilet. My hubby and I are considering switching to it after we are finished our current litter.

This is a sweet little deal for anyone into buying apps or buying music. Right now Best Buy is offering a $50 iTunes gift card for only $40!

I found this on the last page of my local flyer, and I have read other blogs where it has been found in flyers in the GTA and elsewhere. Rumour has it that in Quebec it is 20% off a $25 card. Would like confirmation on that!

This is an in store only deal.

I buy music and an app or two now and then (and the odd bucket of smurfberries) and 20% off is fantastic – I am so picking one up!

Deal ends the 26th, May 2011.

When you spend $50 at Petcetera between April 25th and April 30th you will receive a $25 Gift Card. This gift card can be redeemed between May 1st and May 31st on a purchase of $50 or more.

So I have a sad story for my little Moosers. About 6 months ago I had adopted a cat off of Kijiji. She was suppose to be about a 2 – 3 year old named Sadie, and I used her picture on here for one of my Petcetera posts. Three weeks ago we took her to the vet because she was having problems eating. We then found out 3 major problems: 1) She was 10 – 15 years old, 2) she had heart problems, 3) her teeth were in really bad shape. To fix her teeth she would have had to have surgery, and the surgery was very high risk due to her heart problems. So we had to put her down.

Since, we have adopted another cat, this time from the SPCA. So Moosers, welcome Ghost to the crew! He is a 12 lb male cat and will be 4 yrs old in June. He LOVES to play, chase things and climb.

I just had to remind our Moosers of another easy way to save more on your purchases, buy a gift card. Most promotions cannot be combined with other offers, however you can pay for them with a gift card. If you already got a deal on the gift card you are saving even more money! Cardswap has recently replenished their 4-sale gift cards, and some are for popular Mooser stores.

This seems to be in most the Save on Foods that I could find, so I figured it was a good post. You can get a $25 gift card for iTunes, HBC, The Home Depot, La Senza or Starbucks for $15 plus the redemption of 7500 in points. It isn’t very often they offer point deals on their gift cards, so I think this is a great promotion. If you have been saving up those points.. now might be the time to redeem!

I think I have 7500 in points, I really hope I do. I just can’t quite remember! I am going to check it out today and if I do then I will have to decide between the HBC card and the iTunes card. I am leaning towards the iTunes card though. Found a lovely artist that I just adore (Melody Gardot) and I also want a couple more apps for my iPad.

At Future Shop, you can trade in your old ipod or cell phone and get a gift card equal to its current value. Even if you have a really old or broken cell phone with no value, they will recycle it for free and also plant a tree in your name!

Although this promo is valid in store only, your gift card can be used in store or online.

Even if you think your old phone is worthless, you might be surpirsed. Even a gift card for a few dollars would be nice!
