Decorate for Halloween with Two Easy DIY Crafts and Earn Double RBC Reward Points at Home Depot

October 14, 2016 by Kathryn 16 Comments

Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays. I love the costumes, the decorations and the fun spooky spirit of the season. So I also love creating DIY décor for the yard to get everyone into the Halloween spirit! This year, we don’t have a whole lot of space to decorate since the front yard of our townhouse is fairly small. So with my RBC Rewards Credit Card in hand, I headed to The Home Depot Canada to stock up on supplies for a few easy decorations for small spaces…giant garbage bag spiders and glowing chicken wire ghosts!

With two times reward points for RBC Rewards Credit Card holders in Saskatchewan and Alberta on all purchases from The Home Depot Canada until the end of October, the timing was perfect for grabbing my supplies. I bought PVC pipe, elbow connecters, black spray paint, glow-in-the-dark spray paint and both one and two-inch chicken fencing. Then I added a cute plastic jack-o-lantern that plugged into the wall as a fun finishing touch! With my supplies in hand, it was time to get creative. [Read more…]

So far, 2016 has been a year of change, adventure and fun at every turn. And those are all themes that are going to be continuing for the rest of the year too. With my upcoming wedding on October 1, a honeymoon in Ireland, a move to a new city later in October and the purchase of a new house, we’ll be busy every minute for quite a few months…and loving every minute of it!

Knowing we’ll need to purchase a house soon, I’m already starting to look into the many details involved in the process. From finding a good lawyer to draw up the paperwork to investigating the current prices in the markets we’re looking at, being prepared gives me the confidence that we’re making the best choice for our family’s future. And a big part of that process is making sure that we have the best mortgage available.

Luckily, finding a great mortgage is something I can do in seconds thanks to RateSupermarket.ca! This online insurance comparison website lets us quickly and easily check current available mortgage rates anywhere in Canada so that we can find the best one for us in just seconds. [Read more…]

Get Rewarded this Christmas for Shopping in Comfort with the Aeroplan eStore

November 21, 2013 by Kathryn 38 Comments

Christmas is almost here and that means for most parents, it’s time to shop! I used to love in-store shopping when I was in my twenties and sometimes it can still be pretty enjoyable. But for the most part, shopping after having kids became frustrating and usually completely exhausting. And shopping with fussy kids in crowded stores during the busy holiday season…well, let’s just say I’d rather avoid it.

That’s why I have taken my love of shopping online! I am a passionate online shopper already and this year, the Aeroplan eStore is making my shopping experience even more rewarding! I’ve been an Aeroplan collector for some time now so I was delighted when I learned that I could earn Aeroplan Miles on all the online purchases I make anyways!

Enjoy a Free Shopping Spree by Collecting and Redeeming Sears Club Points #SearsClubPoints

October 23, 2012 by Kathryn

There are a few popular credit card rewards programs in Canada but Sears Club Points has to be one of the most popular. Shoppers earn points on every purchase with their Sears Card or Sears Financial Mastercard that can eventually be redeemed for gift cards good for anything in Sears stores or online. Recently I received the chance to try out the experience of using Sears Club Points for myself and I couldn’t wait to head out on a shopping spree.

searsmastercard-s I received a card with 20,000 points to spend, the equivalent of $200. Immediately, I decided to try to buy Zackary’s winter coat and ski pants with the card. Since I’m always interested in saving money, I decided my first stop would be Sears Clearance Centre. [Read more…]
