Two Deals:
#1. Sexy lingerie set. $15!
#2. Stay-put thigh-high fishnet stockings. $20!

MEAL OF A DEAL

8/1/10

TWO HEADS FOR THE PRICE OF NONE

Bag of porcelain figures. Some broken.
One missing a body.

I complained about the broken pieces

What a Deal.

HATS OFF TO THIS DEAL

Du-Rag. 50% off! 63¢!
Purchased from a dollar store going out of business.
The packaging reads: "Will tit all head sizes".
That's right, tit. What a Deal.

HEY, THERE'S A MONTHLY PODCAST WITH A SEGMENT DEDICATED TO DEALS!

On Tuesday July 27th What a Deal! made a special appearance on Activity Tuesday (which takes place the last Tuesday of every month & is hosted by Maria Bui & Ryan McLaren). This month we talked about pizza, undervests and Herdez food products. Listen now. (P.S. If you show up to listen in person at The Ossington there's free snacks! What a Deal!)

THIS DEAL WAS EXECUTED HALF-HEARTEDLY BUT IT'S OK

Slurpee. Free! 7-Eleven.
Sunday July 11th was 7-Eleven's birthday. 07/11!
In Canada they turned 41. To celebrate: FREE SLURPEES.
7.11 oz. Get it? Cause they love the numbers 7 and 11!
7.11 oz. is actually pretty small.
But who can complain when it's free?
I was expecting banners and balloons, but no,
they were keeping this party quiet.
(P.S. Winnipeg has been crowned slurpee capital of the
world for the past 11 years. I used to live there.)

What a Deal.

BAD DEAL = GOOD DEAL

Five Dollars Gift Certificate.
I bought some spinach dip and it tasted bad.
I complained. They rewarded me!
I'm quite certain I bought the spinach dip on sale,
it definitely cost less than $5.
What a Deal.

THIS DEAL WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY

Chocolate  Helicopter.
It makes no sense but who cares!
$1.00! Shoppers Drug Mart.  What a Deal.

4/23/10

ANOTHER CHEESY DEAL!

Tray of Brie. $2.60!
This deal was sent to me by reader Rebecca Baran:

"I used to work at A&P (Dominion, now Metro) in my youth, so I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with this discounted cheese. The brie comes in a giant circular piece. So we would have to cut it into individual triangles, then wrap them in plastic and price them individually... Sometimes I would remove the giant brie from the fridge to cut, and then get distracted with other tasks, so the large piece of brie would slowly come to room temp and become melty. This discounted deformed brie is just mistakes from cutting up the giant brie."

What a Deal.

4/1/10

NOTEWORTHY DEAL!

Wood-Paneled Notebook With Silver Detail. $1.00!
From the dollar store upstairs at the Gerrard Square Mall.
What a Deal.
