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.

Opt for a Police Auction Online

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!

• Coupon Code: GIFTS4DAD25
• 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.

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.

• 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!

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?

I love art. Let’s just get that out of the way. I love to paint, and looking through the endless selection at Art.com really inspires me. So many ideas come to mind, and as soon as I’m done this post, I’m going to go pick up some blank canvases and see what happens!

One of the neat features on this website is that you can Shop by Room. If you just finished doing some renovations, and think that it’s time for something new to be hanging on the living room wall, Art.com will give you some ideas.

I think Vincent van Gogh is amazing. The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night, c.1888 is my absolute favourite. There is something about the colours that catches your attention and makes you stop and daydream. This print ranges anywhere from $12.99 to $249.99, depending on what size you are looking for, and whether you want it as an art print or on stretched canvas.  I think the 69 x 99 cm print would be an ideal size for an average sized wall.

Shipping depends on what you buy, and how quickly you would like it delivered.

The performance of already used balls is completely the same and Knetgolf uses the same independent testing on these balls as on new balls.

They carry all the brands you already trust like Titleist, Nike and Taylor Made.

The deal EB has on is a Crystal White PS3 Slim with four games, a controller and a year of Playstation Plus. The four games are: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Little Big Planet 2 and Infamous 2. Those are all great games (especially Infamous 2) but wait-a-minute! That’s only three games, Shawn! What about the fourth! The fourth game is Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale!

Gonna run a boat? You need a license. Get it at Ace Boaters Canada and save!

Click here to get your PCOC @ AceBoater.com

• Coupon Code: ACEBOATER1
• Discount: $10 off PCOC
• Expiry: Unknown

These are the basics of the law we’re talking about here:

The boating license is now mandatory for all operators of motorized pleasure craft. Even if you are not the owner, when you operate a motorized boat, you must have proof of competency. There’s no minimum age to obtain the boat card. Regardless of the driver’s age, everyone is required to have the same same card.

The boat license is valid for life and allows you to operate all motorized pleasure craft (including electric motors) throughout Canada. If you do not have your operator card with you, you are subject to a $250 fine.

You can get the entire rundown of the PCOC and the coupon code on the Ace Boaters site.

If you’re on this site, it’s because you want to save money and I suspect that, for most of you, a $250 fine is not part of your overall money saving scheme. The course is $49.95, and you save $10 with this coupon. That means it’s only gonna cost you $39.95. There are extras you can add on, too. If you want three cards, it’ll be an extra $9.95 and a printed study book will be $19.95. The course is online and shipping is FREE for your card and the physical book, if you choose to get it.

Check out this Claremont wooden play set, regularly $599, now only $499. With a 48″ high play deck with clubhouse window, flower box and chalk-wall tarp, even that seems like enough. But it also has monkey bars, climbing ladder, wave slide and lower sandbox, plus swings!

On the other end of the spectrum is the Centennial II play centre, regularly $1799.99, now only $1299.97. With a 5′ play deck with wooden roof, multi-level fort, chalet windows and trim, plus so many other extras, this set is the cream of the crop.

With the promotion, shipping would be only $50 for these items, regularly $150.

• Discount: 25% off
• Expiry: 3rd June 2013

As soon as I saw this promo code, I thought it would be a great idea to make a photo book for a new graduate, detailing all their years in school. It almost brought me to tears imagining chronicling my child in preschool, all the way to grade eight graduation, high school grad or college grad.

I love Blurb because you have so many choices for photo books, including different covers, different paper options, different print options and so much more. Your book can look as professional or as classic as you’d like.

Books start as low as $12.99 for regular price 7″x7″ books ($9.74 with promo code) or go up to or $50.99 for a hardcover 12″x12″ ($38.24 with promo code). You can also add more pages if the 20 included pages aren’t enough.

Shipping is depends where you live.

Starbucks is giving you a reason to become a My Starbucks Rewards member, if the rewards weren’t already a reason. The Star Dash lets you earn stars for purchases, which you will be able to redeem for eGift cards.

• Click here to check out this deal @ Starbucks.com

If you collect 10 stars, you’ll get a $5 eGift card and if you collect 20 stars, you’ll get a $10 eGift card. Each purchase you make (no matter what you spend) qualifies as one star. If you are purchasing multiple items, it might be more useful to do separate transactions to make the most out of your star earning potential.

You can collect from now until May 28th, so that gives you lots of time to get your Tazo and coffee fixes, plus earn enough stars to get even more Tazo and Starbucks coffee.

It’s Victoria Day and that’s an excuse for Dell Canada to give you a great deal on an awesome Inspiron 15R laptop.

•  Click here to shop for your Victoria Day computer deal @ Dell.com

I just love how some of these retailers will take any excuse to put things on sale. What would Queen Victoria think if she knew that, a hundred years later, her birthday was being used to sell laptops? Well, she’s probably be terrified of laptops because… Well… She died in 1901. They didn’t have laptops back then.

But I know what I think of Victoria Day sales: Awesome. Any time that we save money is a good time. This particular laptop happens to be the same one I’m writing this on right now. It’s a great laptop. It comes stock with 8GB RAM, a Core i5 Processor, a 1TB HDD and your choice of Windows 7 or Windows 8. Personally I took Windows 8 and I’m liking it. People are really complaining too hard over Windows 8. Now, if you are one of the people who lose their everloving minds over Windows 8, you can certainly pick it up with the Windows 7 version. If you need more than the provided specs, you can always do a bit of upgrading. If you want something else altogether, you can pick from the other laptops available at the link above!

Shipping is FREE.

• Coupon Code: SAVEX40

The Body Shop is a tough place to shop at, what with all the choices on scents and flavours and textures and I could go on and on.

Pomegranate seems like the most luscious and tasty fragrance and they have a full line of anti-aging pomegranate products, which moisturize skin and soften the appearance of wrinkles.

Check out the firming and refreshing eye roll-on, regularly $26, now only $15.60. Lightweight, with a temporary lifting effect, this is the perfect under-eye wrinkle fighter.

The softening facial wash is already a great price at only $7, but get it for only $4.20.

Might as well make your place smell like pomegranate as well, with this scented candle, now only $9.60, regularly $16.

Shipping is free when you spend $75 or more, or pay a $5 fee on orders over $50.

Click here to feel appreciated @ Buffalojeans.ca

• Coupon Code: BUFFFREESHIPMAY
  
• Discount: Free Shipping
• Expiry: 22nd May 2013

Talk about a double whammy! Buffalo Jeans definitely did a fantastic job in showing that they appreciate their customers, and this is a sale that you should not miss! There is no coupon code needed to activate the 20% off regular priced items and 50% off sale items. Once you add the item to your cart, the discount will automatically be taken off. However, to get the free shipping, you will have to add the above promo code at checkout.

Now onto the clothes….I think these Men’s Ash Basic Jeans are very cool. Only the right body type can pull of skinny jeans, and if you’re one of those guys, then pick up these jeans in red, green or black. Already on sale for $69.99 (from $99), the price drops to only $35 when you add them to your cart!

I just have to confess — I am in love with this Women’s Wanilla Tank Sweater. This black and white two-toned macrame knit with fringes at the bottom is stunning. Wear it with black leggings, skinny jeans or a cute pair of shorts, and heads are sure to turn. Regularly priced at $69, this tank is already on sale for $34.99. Add it to your cart, and voila! The price drops to only $17.50.

Normally you would have to spend at least $99 to get free shipping, so this promo code is a real treat. Make sure to check back regularly to our Buffalo Jeans Coupon Page for all of the latest coupons.

Will you be taking advantage of these fantastic sales? If so, let me know which items you bought in the comments section below!

It should be noted that since GameFly doesn’t ship to Canada, we can only get the PC versions of these games. The PC versions are digital downloads so there is no shipping.

There is definitely something for everyone here. You’ve got racing in Grid 2, strategy in Total War: Rome II, survival horror in Resident Evil: Revelations and a bunch of other genres. If there are a bunch of these that you want, you don’t have to worry about which one you’re gonna get because they are fairly spread out. I don’t buy a ton of video games but I often wander into a store and have a hard time choosing between two or three games. I always get them all home and then play one way more than the others and feel bad about it. I thought I was weird but I’ve spoken to friends who have had the same experience.

With this sale you can pick up a bunch of games and have them spread out over weeks or months. That way you don’t have to worry about feeling bad that you spent all this money on a game and you are are letting it sit there collecting dust while you play anther one. For more guilt-free gaming, check out our GameFly Coupon Codes!
