Well ever since Maxim promised Canadians a years’s subscription and never ponied up.. I’ve been a bitter man. Everything looked legit when I signed up, and I got lots of other people signed up too, but here it is – months and months later.. and no Maxim. GRRR!!!
Personally I don’t have many subscriptions to magazines – I had a subscription to my favorite PC magazine called “Maximum PC” for a VERY long time but recently (as I think I posted) I didn’t renew as I wasn’t able to find one …

On my blog here, I do pretty much what blog writers are told not to do. Instead of focusing on one specific topic or trend or idea, I write on every different topic that comes across my mind or that I find interesting. It’s my blog, and I’m allowed to do that It may not be the path to becoming the biggest money-making blog in the world, but I don’t care. It’s mine, and I’ll write what I want to write about. With that being said, I would …

If you’re one of the lucky people whom end up getting a tax refund year after year, I’ve a question for you.. what do you do with it?
I filed my taxes last week via Netfile, and generally the turnaround for the cheque to come in the mail is around 2 weeks (if I remember well). Originally, and up until today.. I was thinking that the best way thing to do would be to put it on my line of credit, now.. I’m not so sure.
It’s a sizable amount which would …

As the March 1st RRSP contribution deadline approaches, I’ve been relatively busy trying to get things in order.
I must say that Questrade has become a large reason why this is happening. I am re-discovering and really appreciating Questrades’ services lately. Firstly, I realized not that long ago that I can trade mutual funds really easily using Questrade. Second, and probably a bit more important – is that they have what they call ‘the Mutual Fund Maximizer’.
The Mutual Fund Maximizer sounds pretty stupid, but in actuality it can save you a …

Just noticed this coupon on one of my favorite ‘money-saving’ tip sites, and thought I’d sure with all you pet lovers. Hmm.. even if you’re not a pet lover, why don’t you register and go get them, then give them to Hunter! It certainly would be appreciated by him, almost like you’re helping him with his depression treatment I’m sure he’s fighting since he’s had two surgeries in less than a month!
The coupon is for Pedigree Denta Stix, and I just registered.. all you have to do is go to …

Over two weeks ago, I posted that I was ‘broke’ for two weeks as my paycheck was already spent. Well, I’ve reached payday after those two weeks.. and well, I’m no further ahead. I was hoping that my laptops screen was lying to me, but alas.. it was not this morning when I checked it over my coffee.
Mind you, I’m not in the depressed state of mind I was that fateful Tuesday since I have a little bit more spending cash then I did during the last pay period – …

I came across this article the other day and I wanted to go through it fully before I wrote about it. I love this list, and it’s one of the top articles from Lifehacker for January. Basically the article goes through the best times to purchase items at what time of the year:
You’re always hearing about off-season, post-peak times to save money on purchases and food, but it always arrives too late. We’ve compiled a timeline and lots of best-time-to-buy suggestions into one post to help you plan a …

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me, especially since it’s pretty easy to wear something red or something with Canada on it.
Old Navy will give you 30% off your entire purchase if you wear something red, or that says ‘Canada’ or has a maple leaf. Only available this weekend, from January 29-31.
That’s a pretty good deal considering the best Old Navy Weekly coupons are normally 20-25% off and $50 off $100 (which are difficult to get).
