I am not generally a beer drinker. Sure on a hot summer day, a really cold beer is okay, but generally I will find something else. For me it's the bitter taste. Some beer is better than others, but last month I discovered a beer worth sharing. I live in Canada and in our Government Liquor stores there is this beer called Pacific Schwarzbock that you can by singles for $1.99 or buy as a 6 pack. It's brewed in Prince George, BC and uses a bavarian recipe. It is a really dark beer that looks similar to Guinness, but without the bitter taste. It actually has a bit of a sweet molasses taste. I really like it, and encourage other non-beer drinkers to try it too! Word of caution...this beer is 8%! Despite that, it doesn't taste strong, so drink slow:)
All in all, a great product, and the can size of 473 mL at 8% for $1.99 is a lot of bang for your buck!
I encourage you to try it:)

Bombay Sapphire Gin
Great taste! I am a gin drinker and this is my favorite. A little pricey but worth it if you like to drink it with tonic or on ice. Some other gins out there are just plain nasty.

I love these! I always bring them hiking and camping. The packaging makes them easy to take along....They are around the same calorie wise as chips but that doesn't matter if I'm looking for junk food. The crispiness and extreme flavor it what has me hooked. A little pricey, but wait for the 2 for sales...Great product! -

This place is awesome. When in Las Vegas I visit the Earl of Sandwhich when I am looking for a healthier option and something affordable. There is one in the Planet Hollywood forum shops near the entrance. The food has always been good and there is always a huge line, which in itself lets you know it can't be bad!
The only down side is it can be really busy and hard to find somewhere to sit. The food is great, a good place to stop for lunch!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
These are favorite product for a chocolate fix! I also love peanut butter, so how can you possibly go wrong? FYI you can get them for a good price at the dollar stores...that's how I accumulate my stash:)

A lot of people are disappointed with Target Canada because it doesn't live up to the american stores. I can't compare since I haven't been to one in the US, but since it came to Victoria BC I have saved soo much money!
Sure, they don't follow the SCOP that's because they would go broke.... but use it to your advantage. If the item rings up at a different price from the shelf price, they still will give it for the price posted.
Another annoying fact is that most of their sales are not advertised in their flyers. You have to physically wander the store to get great deals, but it's worth it!. They often decide they want to clear out a product or section and mark things down up to 75% off!
Last week they had a temporary price cut on cheese (all varieties) and I bought $174.00 worth of cheese for $50.00!!! I have cheese for the next year! (It freezes well) They also have a lot of clearance items such as cereal, canned goods, frozen goods that they spontaneously mark way down. IE: cereal regularly priced at $3.99 down to $1.19.
On top of all the great sales, their Market Pantry brand often matches Wallmart prices sometimes cheaper, I buy many of my staples from there.
Target also has coupons on every receipt with purchase, which is great for stacking with manufacturer coupons and in-store sales.
One last comment...take advantage of rainchecks since they don't stock their shelves well, it 's worth it in the end:)
On the whole, there are a lot of negative things people don't like about Target Canada, but the good far outweighs the bad, you just have to work it to your advantage!
Happy shopping everyone!!:)
