(Bumping this Halloween Contacts post for 2011! I am bumping it quite early so as to give you plenty of time to make your online order, and give you time for it to arrive)

If you want to go that extra mile for your Halloween outfit this year, you should consider buying spooky Halloween contacts to add that final touch. I’ve compiled a list of a few useful online  Halloweencontact lens sellers, and some details about discounts, and shipping within Canada.

I’ve not included any novelty sites on here, just proper contact lens stores.

Clearly Contacts Canada

A good Canadian online company that I know of is Clearly Contacts Canada.

• Click here to shop Halloween contact lenses @ ClearlyContacts.ca

Remember, there are often coupon codes which you can use to get extra discount too – here are all the ClearlyContacts deals I have posted on Bargainmoose. You should be able to score yourself at least 10% discount on the Halloween lenses. Some coupon codes might include free shipping too.

Visionpros.ca

While I cannot see a dedicated Halloween section on their site, Visionpros sell Freshlook contacts if you just want a colour change.

• Click here to shop contact lenses @ Visionpros.ca

If you’re a new customer there, you can get $10 off and free shipping on a $149 spend with the coupon code WBNEW, or you can get an extra 5% discount on your order with the coupon code BARGAINMOOSE.

Non-Canadian Stores

Now, for a bit more choice you might be more inclined to try purchasing from US merchants. There are literally LOADS of US based optical stores, which will ship to Canada. Here’s a bit of a rundown on what you need to know, about a few of the major US merchants. Just order early!

AC Lens US

AC Lens only sell a Halloween range of contact lenses. There’s even an Edward Cullen!

• Click here to shop for contacts @ AC Lens

At checkout, you can change the currency to Canadian dollars. Canadian shipping starts at $14.95.

Contacts America

Here, they have a range of Halloween, special effect, FX, theatrical and novelty contact lenses.

• Click here to shop online @ Contacts America

Shipping seems to start at $7.95.

Coastal Contacts US

Coastal Contacts is the US arm of Clearly Contacts. It might be worth using an exchange rate converter and see if you can get a better deal from Coastal Contacts than from Clearly Contacts Canada.

• Click here to shop online @ Coastal Contacts

For shipping from Coastal Contacts, prices start at $10.95 for priority ground shipping.

Discount Contact Lenses US

Here, there’s a Halloween page, with various styles and colours of contact lenses.

• Click here to buy online @ discountcontactlenses.com

Canadian shipping starts at $9.95.

Lensmart US

There are a lot of Halloween contact lenses to choose from on Lensmart.com. They are a pretty major player in the US contact lens market.

• Click here to buy Halloween contacts @ Lensmart.com

Canadian shipping is $9.99. Orders over $99 can get 25% off and free shipping with the coupon code 25NEWLM (thought I don’t know if the free shipping applies to Canada too).

VisionDirect US

Another US based company, Vision Direct also ship Halloween themed contact lenses to Canada. It seems to be the same company as Lensmart above!

• Click here to shop online @ Vision Direct

Canadian shipping is $9.99, and it should arrive within 5-10 days. It must be an arm of Lensmart too, as the above coupon code also applies.

Justlenses US

Justlenses is another US company which sells a wide range of fashion lenses too.

• Click here to buy Halloween contacts @ Justlenses

Shipping is a bit steep though, $24.95 with Fedex to Canada.

Lens.com

• Click here to get your Halloween lenses now

This seems to be the same checkout mechanism as a few of the other sites. Shipping is $24.95 by Fedex too. Steep!

Note On Taxes

Because contact lenses are a prescription product, there is no sales tax, whether you are buying from Canada or the US.

(If you know of any more good contact lens stores that I should add to this list, please let me know)

They have some rocking costumes. My favourite (but I could never wear) is the Neytiri Adult Avatar costume for $79.99 – that is just AWESOME. I really like the Mon Ami costume, it is absolutely gorgeous with all the frills and lace… but would probably find myself more in this Rag Doll Girl – Adult outfit – it is uber cute!

Halloween styles are now available. I know it seems early, but I already bought my kids Halloween costumes! Really, it seems if you don’t shop early, you won’t find anything in another month. This girls Ladybug costume for $29.71 (reg. $34.95) is cute- check out the little antennae. For little boys, this Frankenstein like Monster costume is pretty cool for $33.96 (reg. $39.95). I especially like the hat which leaves the face open, much safer for trick or treating.

Time to announce the winner of last week’s Halloween contest! After days of deliberation and incredible indecisiveness, I’ve decided that this is the winning entry:

Cannibal Pumpkin!

How cute is that!?

Many thanks to Bargainmoosers Louise and Andrzej from Ottawa for sending in this picture. They’ve won an Amazon Kindle for their trouble!

You can view all the contest entries on the Bargainmoose flickr pages, on this Halloween set. I’d like to give out some honourable mentions to a few moosers:

• Tracy’s daughter who put a lot of work into this juice box!
• Krystal was moose-tastic!
• Cute Ewok is cute!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter this contest.

And if you’re in the mood to try and win more goodies, we’re giving away some holiday gift packs from lovablelabels.ca here.

I’ve seen a lot of people subjecting their innocent little babies to some hilarious costumes for Halloween. I’ve gathered a few here, for a special Halloween post!

I don’t know much about Steam except you use it to games on your computer and you can buy games through it. What I do know is that Steam is offering amazing discounts on many popular games right now as part of a Halloween Sale. 33 – 75% off a whole variety of games.

• Click here to shop Steam’s Halloween Sale

This sale ends November 1st so not much time left to take advantage of it. The majority of the games do seem to be 50% off+ so a goody amount.

Anyone care to explain to me how Steam works?

Hi everyone. Just wanted to remind you that the Bargainmoose Halloween contest to win an Amazon Kindle is still open for entries. We’ve only had a few entries to date which you can see on this Flickr set, so there isn’t much competition so far! But I expect the majority of you will be dressing up tonight or tomorrow. Why not follow the instructions in the contest thread, and try to win that Amazon Kindle ebook reader for yourself?

Good luck!

For this Halloween weekend only, Popcap Games are offering the popular Plants vs Zombies game app for only $0.99, instead of its regular price of $2.99.

• Click here for more info @ iTunes

The game is really good fun! I don’t have it on my iPhone, but I have it on my computer. It’s really addictive, a nice little time waster.

I recently heard that they had to remove the Michael Jackson zombie from the game and replace it with “dancing stu” instead. That’s not as much fun!

Most Popcap games are really great – I am currently addicted to Chuzzle on my iPhone. I play it everywhere, while feeding baby, while eating lunch, while on the porcelain throne.

Speaking of zombies, what are you dressing up as this Halloween? I am going to be a zombie nurse. Why not get dressed up and enter my Bargainmoose contest to win an Amazon Kindle?

Just in time for Halloween Kodakgallery.ca has released some new print coupon codes so you can get more, for less. The coupons only apply if you are planning on ordering 150+ prints (4″ x 6″).

• Click here to check out the Kodak print gallery

You can get 100 prints for $15 and no coupon is needed. If you want more:

• 150 Prints for $22
• Coupon Code: SPOOKY150

• 250 Prints for $35
• Coupon Code: SPOOKY250

• Expiry: 2nd, November 2010

So if you want more than 150 but less than 250 you basically will receive a 2.7% discount on your pictures, that is what it works out to. If you want over 250 prints you will get a 6.7% discount on your pictures. Not a lot it seems, but in the long run and with a whole lot of pictures it adds up.
