I love camping, but I am not a camper. I’d rather have someone put everything up for me and I’d like it to be cleaner. I guess you could call that a cottager. Unfortunately, I don’t have a cottage or the funds for one, so officially, I am a camper. If you are also a camper and just starting off, you are definitely going to need some supplies.

The most important (ok, maybe not most important) item is the beverage cooler. This Igloo MaxCold beverage cooler is great for holding your clean water and has an easy pour spigot, so even your kids get their own drinks, this time anyway. It will keep your beverages cold for five days and is now only $49.97, regularly $76.99.

In case the water wasn’t enough, store your drinks in this Igloo Legend cooler with a 24-can capacity. You could also store food in here, but that’s your choice. Now only $29.51, regularly $43.99.

Your priorities might be a tad different than mine, so check out the sale for yourself and see what else you might need.

Bargainmoosers, what camping equipment do you think is most important?

The folks over at popular internet shoe store Shoeme.ca have sent us a great coupon code for a discount on all the footwear in their outlet section – an extra 15% off. Here are all the juicy details:

Click here to use the Shoeme coupon code online now

• Coupon Code: BargainMoose15
• Discount: 15% off outlet items
• Expires: 31st July 2013

In the Shoeme outlet store, there are clearance items at up to 75% off the retail prices. So, an extra 15% discount on top of that is very handy. There is a good selection of shoes to choose from, from sandals to slippers. Here are some that I wouldn’t mind having in the bottom of my wardrobe:

• Acorn Women’s Faux Chinchilla Bootie – were $60, now $30, then $25.50 with coupon – these look super cosy! I know it’s getting in to the summer now so you might not be as inclined to use slippers in the coming months, but I would definitely like a pair of these for next winter.

• Cat Footwear Joa – were $199.99 now $99.99, then $84.99 with coupon – I LOVE these boots! I’m a huge fan of Cat footwear as a brand anyway, but I really love the style of the Joa boot. These would look super with my skinny jeans. Or even a pair of shorts!

• Keds Women’s Bolt LTT Lace-Up Fashion Sneaker – were $50 now $25, then $21.25 with coupon – this is exactly the kind of shoe I like to wear throughout the day, a casual trainer. These look very comfy for everyday wear, and they’re a super price too.

Regarding sizing, it’s a bit limited as these are final sale items in the clearance section, but there’s nothing wrong with having a browse and seeing if there’s something fancy in your size. And as always with Shoeme.ca, shipping is completely free – it’s refreshing to see a store that offers totally free shipping with no minimum spend at all. And it makes me want to buy more shoes too!

Anything in the outlet store on Shoeme.ca catch your eyes?

It is Old Navy Supercash time, which means you can earn reward dollars for future purchases with the purchases you make now, online and in-store.

• Click here to shop @ Oldnavy.gapcanada.ca now

Earning Supercash is totally easy. You just have to buy stuff! You’ll get cash notes from the cashiers at your in-store purchase or coupons in your email after your online purchase. When you spend:

• $25, you’ll get $10
• $50, you’ll get $20
• $75, you’ll get $30

The most you can earn in one transaction is $30. You can redeem online and in-stores starting June 20th to 26th, using $10 for every $25 you spend. If you have a $20 or $30 Supercash note, but only want to spend $25, you can do that, but you’ll only get $10 off. But, you can use as many Supercash notes as you want per transaction (based on that $10 per $25 equation). This means that if you spend $125, you can technically use five $10 notes or any other combination of $50 worth of notes.

Supercash can be earned from discounted merchandise, but you cannot use Supercash with other coupons unless you hold a Gap credit card. In that case, you may use your Supercash and three other rewards.

Don’t forget to check the Bargainmoose forum for those other coupons before you shop at Old Navy Canada.

I was browsing the “goods” on Groupon.com, and these Seiko watches caught my eye. They’re on special offer, down from $250 to only $59.99 (plus $7.99 flat rate shipping), a total of about $68.

• Click here to get your watch on @ Groupon.com now

This Groupon deal for the Seiko watches has 6 timepieces to choose from, in a range of colours and styles. Choose from :

• Dress Watch in Silver Stainless Steel with Pink Dial
• Dress Watch in Silver Stainless Steel with White Mother-of-Pearl Dial and Open Band Design
• Bracelet Watch in Gold and Silver Stainless Steel with Small Rounded Face
• Le Grand Sport Watch in Gold and Silver Stainless Steel
• Coutura Watch in Gold and Silver Stainless Steel
• Coutura Watch in Silver Stainless Steel

My preference would be the one with the small rounded face… though I am sure there are some of you who would like the pink option.

These items ship directly from Groupon, no third parties to check out. I’ve always found that the customer service on Groupon is really excellent – if I’ve ever had any problems with an order, they’ve always sorted it out to my satisfaction!

I usually only wear a small digital watch, which isn’t very dressy. When I am going out for a special evening, I would switch it over to a dressier, shinier watch to compliment any outfit that I am sporting. Sometimes I forget to make the switch though, and I end up wearing my crappy back digital watch along with a lovely evening gown!

Flash sale!! Alarm! Alarm! This is a quickie from The Bay Canada. You can get a pretty decent 60% discount on the range of HEYS Triton 3-piece Luggage Sets – down from $790 to only $316.

• Click here to get your luggage set @ The Bay Canada now

As you can see in the link above, the Heys luggage set comes in a choice of 3 colours – plain old grey, electric blue or ravishing red. The red would definitely be my choice for ease of spotting on the luggage carousels.

I’ve always believed in the value of having a really decent set of luggage – they can really take a beating and ideally should last you years and years. After all the man-handling that they will go through in any airport, a really good set of luggage is a must for anyone who travels often. I have a set of red Samsonite cases and they’ve survived through more than 10 years of abuse.

From The Bay, shipping is free on a purchase of $99 or more, so that would apply to this order.

What about you? Do you just have a cheap and cheerful luggage set, or a more expensive one like this?

There are three sets of headphones available in this sale.

• Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones - Was $24.99 – Save $12 – Now $12.99
• Koss KTXPRO1 Titanium Headphones – Was $24.99 - Save $12 – Now $12.99
• Koss MV1 Professional Studio Stereophone - Was $199.99 – Save $110 – Now $89.99

Wow. This sale is weird. usually you get a good range of cheap to expensive but Amazon has done both ends of the spectrum on this one. Oh well, either way the deals are good. Shipping will be free on the more expensive pair. Shipping on the cheaper ones is going to run around $5 depending on where you live.

Koss has been around for a long time and has always made good sounding headphones for their price. Some people have complained that the build quality isn’t the best so if you’re rough on your gear, these might not be the best choice.

I have owned a set of Koss headphones but it was quite a while ago so I don’t remember much about them other than having them for a long time. The fact that I remember having them for a while is probably a good sign since I’m notoriously rough on my stuff. Anywho, it seems to me that I used them with my Diskman back in the day and I carried that thing around with me forever.

Have you ever owned Koss headphones? Is there a brand of electronics that you used to love but haven’t had in a while? Let us know in the comments below. Why? Because we all love you very, very much.

If you are planning on making a booking for a hotel in the US or Canada for the next little while, consider using this Hotels.com coupon code to save yourself an extra 5% discount – every little helps! Here are the full details:

Click here to use the Hotels.com coupon code online now

• Coupon Code: HOTELSFORLESS
• Discount: 5% off hotels
• Expires: 24th May 2013
• Travel by: 30th September 2013

Let me give you a quick example of the kind of discount you can achieve with this promo code. Say you fancied a weekend in June in the One King West Hotel & Residence in Toronto. The regular cost is coming up at $167 per night for a double room. Using the Hotels.com discount code brings the cost down to $158 per night, a $9 saving. Not a huge amount, but that’s $9 you can use to purchase a cocktail for yourself on that night!

While you may wonder what’s the point in blogging about a 5% discount – that’s not very much – I disagree. Hotels.com rarely offer coupon codes of this nature, so if you were planning on making a booking, now is the ideal time to do so. Save yourself a few bucks!

If you’re a big fan of the show Storage Wars, you might be able to live vicariously through the idea of participating in an auction by going to a police auction.  Unbeknownst to much of the public, shopping at police auctions can be a great way to save money, especially for big ticket items that you have had your eye on for awhile.

Some big ticket items that are usually sold at police auctions include road bikes, jewellery, other sports equipment, and even cars.  If you have ever wondered where the goods that are seized by the police enforcement go, look no further as they usually end up at the police auction.  These goods are also things that have been lost and haven’t been claimed,or have been stolen.

Police auctions are usually available in major municipalities, and are usually held once a year.  They are very popular, especially in Vancouver where your bicycle will more likely than not be stolen.  They are great if you’re interested in used merchandise at the fraction of the cost (source: Yahoo).

How You Save Money at Police Auctions

Infobarrel suggests that you contact your local police station and ask when the police auctions are held (this can easily be Googled too, if you live in a major city).  Some people drive dozens to hundreds of kilometres to get to the police auction.  Bring identification with you and bring your researched want-list with you.  Be prepared to be there for awhile and wear some good walking shoes.  Be prepared to know how long you will stay as otherwise, you may just be tempted to buy everything and then get carried away.

Best Bang for your Buck Items

•  Bikes (for example, the maximum price that was spent on a bike at the most recent auction in Vancouver was just under $1000)
• Electronics
• Jewellery (An $8000 appraised diamond and gold ring sold for $1700 at the aforementioned Vancouver auction)
• Cars
• Collector coins (even a gold bar!)

Tips to Make your Auction a Success

According to wikispaces, some tips to make your auction a success are to begin early at the auction, do your research (know the market value of what you want to buy and know how much you’re willing to spend on it).  Also, make sure to cross check the information you get of the item you’re interested in buying, and most importantly, know the rules for buying a big ticket item like a car at the auction.

If you live too far away from a police auction or you want an item that isn’t found at your local police auction, a few municipality police stations in the East have joined forces and created a police auction website.  It is called Police Auctions Canada and is composed of auctionable goods from law enforcement agencies in Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, and Barrie, to name a few.  Some things that they have on auction are new in the box Apple Macbook Pros, Apple iPhone 5′s, jewellery, and road bikes.  It’s basically like eBay except that you’re buying from the police.  Also, it’s different from a conventional police auction because it’s held online and goods are for sale 365 days of the year instead of just one day of the year.  The proceeds from the Police Auctions Canada website go to support community projects in the area.

Police auctions are a great way to save money on some big ticket items, especially if you don’t mind used goods and are in the market for getting more bang for your buck.  All you need to do is to bring some identification and to do thorough research on the items that you are interested in before you go.  Most importantly, make sure you know your end-point or maximum bid.  The last thing you want to do is buy something for the sake of outbidding someone, even though it isn’t that great of a deal.  The great thing about going to a police auction is you that you never know what you’re going to get when you go there.

Bargainmoosers, have you been to a police auction before?  If so, what did you buy there?

Statistics show that if you own a smartphone or tablet, it’s more likely to be a Samsung or iPhone than anything else. Get a case for your super popular phone at Black’s Canada!

• Discount: 25% Off Samsung, iPhone and iPad Cases
• Expiry: 16th June 2013

Samsung and Apple are the kings of mobile devices. They make the best, they sell the most. There is a problem with both of these phones though: they’re fragile. They’re fragile in different ways though. Samsung phones are fragile like knee pads are fragile. If you fall, the knee pads are going to get scratched up. They still work and if you don’t like that they are scratched, you buy a new one. If your Samsung phone gets scratched, it’s probably going to be on the removable plastic back. You can buy a new one and toss the old one. The iPhone is like a diamond. It’s pretty but if you damage it you need to buy a new diamond. You can’t just replace a part for a few bucks. Same thing for iPads but to a lesser extent.

But regardless of which phone you have, you should protect it. Black’s has tons of great cases and they are all 25% off with the coupon code above! For more deals from Black’s check out our Black’s Coupon Codes!

Shipping varies, depending on your location.

• Expiry: 16th June 2013

Robeez shoes are perfect for spring and summer. With soft soles, they make it easy for little ones to navigate their way around, while able to feel the ground beneath them. It also helps foster foot development, as feet aren’t stuck in rigid, tight shoes. And for non-walkers the great advantage to Robeez soft-soled shoes is that they keep the little one from pulling their socks off! All of my kids have worn Robeez and in fact, I’m saving all of their first Robeez as a keepsake to give them when they grow up.

There are so many cute designs, it is almost impossible to pick.

I’m totally in love with these modern bugs in a camo pattern. Now on sale for $21.49, regularly $27

How cute are these flower girl soft soles with an actual 3-D flower? $27.

Get some socks to take you over that $50 limit, like this 3 pack of modern bugs, now only $9.59, regularly $12.

You’ll pay only $49.08 for everything, regularly $66. You’ll also get free shipping because you spent $50.

A gift card from Bed and Breakfast would make an amazing wedding or wedding shower gift. Even if the bride and groom have a pre-determined honeymoon, most new couples are broke for the first year of their marriage after paying for said wedding and honeymoon. They could save this gift card for a little getaway when the first year of marriage stresses get to be a little much. It would also be a great before wedding getaway, for a bride and her mom or her friends. Either way, this is a gift card I wouldn’t sneeze at.

Simply click on the The Gift of a Getaway and choose your pre-designed card or upload your own photo. Enter the email address for it to be delivered to free of charge or the address if it will be shipped (a charge will apply) and your personal greeting.

This would be great to receive the morning of the couple’s wedding as you can set the date to whenever you’d like them to receive it. There are over 4000 inns and bed and breakfasts in Canada and the U.S. to choose from.

Hockey season is almost over but training never is. Train better with a slide board from HockeyShot Canada.

Click here to get your slide board @ HockeyShot.ca

• Coupon Code: HSSLIDE15
• Discount: 15% off slide boards
• Expiry: 24th May 2013

I started writing a bit of info on the slide board but then I saw this video and I thought it really did a better job than I  was doing so here it is.

Just on a side note, this guy is really good. Maybe it’s because I’m not an athlete but he seemed like he knew what he was doing. If you don’t wanna watch the video basically a slide board is a board (yep) that you can slide on (uh-huh) from side to side to simulate skating. It helps exercise your legs and get used to the lateral motions you need to make while skating. The video showed this guy using the slide board in conjunction with a stick handling practice pad and a net to add another level to his stick handling and shooting practice.

Shipping varies on what you get and where you live but expect to pay around $30 for standard shipping.

Check out our Hockey Shot Canada Coupon Code page for more deals!

Do yo have one of these? Want one of these? What do you use to practice skating off season? Let us know in the comments below!

Amazon Canada has the Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2 MP digital SLR camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5 – 5.6 DC III zoom lens on for only $393.87, regularly $529.99. I price compared and could not find this camera for less than $400 at comparable Canadian retailers.

• Click here to shop @ Amazon.ca

If I had $400 right now, I would hands down by this camera. I’ve had my Nikon DSLR for over eight years now and I definitely see a difference in photo quality with the newer cameras. This camera has high image quality and speed with its DIGIC 4 Image Processor. You have the option of shooting from as low as 100 ISO all the way up to 6400 ISO. There is a built-in flash and an enhanced metering system.

This reliable DSLR with 9-point AF system has high precision and can be worked in many different modes. HD movies are a breeze and look good when shot with this camera.

The reviews are extremely favourable for this system, with over 40 reviewers giving it the highest rating. Like I said, I’d buy this today if I had the money, but I’m going to save up and watch for a sale like this again. Hey, maybe Dad would like something like this?
