Pop-up Shop Updates

Cheap Thrills has scored some more fantastic bedding deals. Jonathan wants you to know: “We have a BOATLOAD of new bedding items coming in this week. All are new from 2 department store chains although the packaging may be missing or damaged. So if you love packaging this may not be for you…

Most items are 50-75% off actual retail prices or better. Like $230 Memory Foam Mattress Tops for $25…that’s almost 100% off” Woo! Who needs packaging anyway?

Cheap Thrills have made an adjustment to their hours and will be closed on Sundays starting this week.

In This Closet have also tweaked their hours this week. They are now open Mondays (11-7) and closed Sundays.

And finally, there’s still time to complete your Pop-up Passport for a chance to win a big bag of awesome FREE stuff.  No purchase necessary, just get your passport signed by the participating stores by July 31. The prize packs include:

Know any teenagers with time on their hands this month?

A couple of ideas for teenagers who might be looking for something to do in the next few weeks:

  • Madame Gateaux is running a baking camp from August 13-17 for youth aged 12-17 years, and there are still spots available. The cost is $275. (Think about all the value-add for your family to have your kid turn into a master baker by Labour Day!!)
  • BOMB Wellness is a Community Host for an initiative intended to combat youth inactivity.  As part of their commitment, they are offering 20 5-class passes for youth aged 14-19 for the month of August, for free! Our friend the East End Pioneer wrote about it in detail in a recent post.

Do you have any other ideas?  Please leave a comment!
