Into The Gap

So The Gap,Old Navy and Banana Republic ( Who are all owned by the same chain in case you didn't know ) Is having a 30% off with coupon sale but for 4 days only July 30- August 2 and you can use the coupon as much as you like !

Niagara Falls cheap for Canada Day

Well since there will be nothing to do in Toronto for Canada Day because on the strike you might want to take advantage of this great deal. Go Transit is now running Go Train service to Niagara Falls on weekends and holidays. For Canada Day only when you purchase a one way ticket you get the return free. So for $15.90 for an Adult ticket you get a round trip. There is also a shuttle bus that runs from the Go Train/Via station in Niagara Falls to all the major attractions. The Shuttle is only 6.00 for adults for an all day pass and kids under 12 are free. Not too bad eh.

Spadina Winners

Winners is celebrateing it's 25th birthday ( wow we're the same age ) They are offering 15% off all regularly priced purchases at the Spadina store between June 26th and 28th. And, throughout the entire weekend they will be having hourly draws for $25 gift cards. I don't know why it's only the Spadina store,maybe because it has no childrens section and is the crappiest one in my opinion., But never the less a sale is a sale.
