November
- Kitchen appliances
- Hot and cold fans
November is all about appliances, both small and large. Head out to your nearest home supply store and take a look at their kitchen appliances during this month. Also, as we’re in-between the hot and cold months, appliances such as fans are also on sale! If you are interested in both a hot and cool fan, check out the Dyson model Shoana talked about in the video below.
December
- Wine & spirits
‘Tis the season for holiday fun. Depending on which province you live in, booze itself does not usually go on sale. Across the board, provinces will have specials on or extras with spirits, wine and beer — for example, as Shoana shows us in the featured video below, a bottle of Champagne might come with two flutes. Hosting a party? Buy a couple bottles of bubbly and voila! A new glass set!
