This Summer Only #OnlyAtShoppers $50 GC Giveaway!

Summer time is here – time for relaxing by the pool, barbecues, trips to the cottages and so much more! After what felt like an incredibly long winter with ice storms and severe winter weather warnings, we are more then ready to kick back by the pool.

Shoppers Drug Mart is one of my favourite places to shop – they have an excellent variety of items in store (one time shopping!), the lowest prices on many items (including milk!), the latest and greatest items in stock and not to mention their fabulous Optimum program – don’t you just love being rewarded for shopping?

This summer, Shoppers Drug Mart is introducing the Only At Shoppers program. You can find everything you could possibly need under one page. You find lifestyle content focusing on summer health and beauty as well as polls, quizzes, videos and COUPONS (woot woot!).

One of my favourite articles (and also near and dear to my heart) is the First Aid 411. Cuts and scrapes not to mention stings during the summer months seem to be inevitable (at least in our home – please tell me I am not alone with this?!). Basic first aid training is important but so is a working first aid kit. Kidsumers shares important items to keep stocked in your first aid kit – perfect for putting together your first first aid kit or even expanding on your current one.

Shoppers Drug Mart is giving one of my Canadian readers a chance to win a $50 gift card to Shoppers Drug Mart – talk about some great stocking up savings just in time for the summer months!

Canadian residents can enter via the Rafflecopter form below – GOOD LUCK!!

Get Started Preserving #DKCanada #review

If you haven’t noticed already I am really big on learning and even more so on how to make clean foods at home for our family to enjoy. A big part of this is freezing and preserving food during their in seasons (talk about a money saver too!).

DKCanada’s Get Started Preserving was the perfect selection for me in their May Boutique. It had everything I could possibly need to start preserving and to expand my knowledge as my expertise grows. The book starts off with simple freezing and preserving techniques and then develops on this basic knowledge.

Get Started Preserving also contained numerous recipes to help get you started on preserving your own delicious jams, sauces and more! Ever since we moved into our new home I have had dreams of creating a fruit cellar full of preserved items and I am now on my way there. The book also included helpful tips, tricks as well as very specific rules to prevent contamination.

As berries become more in season and on sale more often in store, I began by freezing my first batch of raspberries! I have to say I think they turned out perfectly and will be the perfect addition in my morning smoothies.

Have you checked out the boutique yet at DKCanada? Don’t miss out on all of their fabulous sales! Check it out now.

Disclosure: I received the above featured book free of charge in order to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are my own.
