Superstore and Extra Foods have pretty low prices to begin with on toys, household goods and clothing and on September 4th & 5th the deals get better with their TAX FREE days (from open until closing). This would be a great time to grab any household electronics you've been eying up!

Winning a year's salary would be great (it's a minimum of $50,000 so no worries for all us stay-at-home moms, they actually have placed a bit of value on our efforts!), but with the 15% - 50% off it's really a win/win either way.
