Save 50% off the Beach


Until midnight, book with WestJet and save up to 50% off to locations including Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Nassau, Florida, Jamaica and more. And enter the promo code: BEACH to save an additional 15% off tickets to Montego Bay or Nassau, Bahamas. Some great fares include Calgary to Maui for only $259 one-way, Vancouver to Las Vegas for $124 one-way, Toronto to Orlando for $129 one-way. 

My friend in Montreal is itching to get away for Christmas, however she doesn’t know whether she can get a week off. If she has the Dec 15th week off, she can take advantage of the four day deal for $225 that includes airfare, accomodations and taxes. That’s cheaper than a roundtrip flight to Vegas alone. 

My cousin in Vancouver has to work through Christmas because she is in retail so she is taking the $99 return flight to Las Vegas for only $99. She flies on January 1st and has to return on January 8th, 2009.

Last but definitely least, here’s a flight for you, Afsaneh who lives in Toronto. For only $22, you can fly via Air Transat to Orlando, Florida to visit Mickey and his friends on December 7th. This incredible deal is for one-way only but you can be in balmy Orlando and escape the snow.

Time is running out


If you have to book a flight today on Air Canada then do so with this exclusive coupon code: 924RUWK1. It expires later today so don’t wait any longer. Travel has to be completed by August 31st, 2008. It doesn’t come often (enough) and honestly speaking, I think this is the first time I’ve seen a code from Air Canada.

WestJet has a deal if you want to fly between Calgary and Montreal or Toronto or Ottawa. It’s a $99 one way but let me warn you about the surcharges and taxes. You will probably pay just as much if not more for extra fees than the flight itself. 

If you went to the Stampede and picked yourself up a Scratch & Win card from a WestJet representative, you may have a coupon worth $50 or $100 off your next flight. I have an extra card worth $50 if anyone of you out there want it. Simply drop me your email and I can get in touch with you.

I better go so that you can get on with your booking. Btw, did I tell you what the exclusive coupon code entitles you? Save an extra 15% off all Tango flights.

Saving Money Wirelessly


I just came back from the Source (formerly called Radio Shack) with a new Lexmark Z1420 Wi-Fi printer. I picked it up for an incredible $59.99 and with the recycle fee of $8.00 and taxes, it came out to $71 – not bad considering that when I hook it up, I can print anywhere in the house, wirelessly.

I’m a true believer of technology. In this day and age, we should be utilizing what’s out there rather than to stay in our comfort zone and use what we’ve been using for the last twenty years or so. Wi-Fi has been around for a number of years and a lot of my friends and colleagues have been utilizing it alot longer than I have. The reason is because I’m cheap and didn’t care to change my set up, until now. This is excellent for anyone with a small office, home office setup because you can have this printer downstairs near your business and still print from it upstairs.

Last year at this time, multi-function inkjet printers that had Wi-Fi capabilities were selling for $250 and up. Some were Wi-Fi ready and could be upgraded for $50 more. But Lexmark wanted to change the face of printing, so they were among the first companies to offer more affordable Wi-Fi printers, starting with the model that I bought today. As of last year May, the Lexmark Z1420 was the most inexpensive printer you can buy that has Wi-Fi. And looking at HP, Brother and other manufacturers, I think Lexmark still holds the record.

For those of you who have sat back and watched me pick up the TrendNet Wireless Router last week and now the Lexmark Z1420 Wi-Fi printer this week, and think you’re ready to get off the couch then I have a deal for you. Please come to our site and pick up the package for $39.99 for both but do so before March 31st because this offer expires.
