Mi Ne Sushi in NDG Montreal : An undiscovered sushi goldmine bargain ?

Monday, October 6th, 2008

So, after yesterdays nice meal at Restaurant Azie in Varennes, the SO, or perhaps DSO mentioned a fantastic (and apparently delicious) sushi lunch she enjoyed somewhat on the run.

I did one of those high speed investigative bits on Yahoo!, Ask, Live and Google and found out it’s Mi Ne Sushi at 7315 St Jacques Street and she had a large Maki combo of 12 pieces (2” in diameter!), a Miso soup and small salad for $10.11 taxes included. Sounds like a real steal considering the quality.

Now I’m itching to try it out myself.

This Google map showing the address of Mine Sushi is interactive (i.e. drag it, zoom it, etc..)

Obligatory tech comment: the Mi Ne Sushi website is decidedly Web 0.5 with (!) frames…. but alas, it has the requisite information including a scan of their menu!…

Last few days to get discount 50% tickets for Anthony Robbins in Vancouver and Orlando

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008


Anthony Robbins discount buy 1 get 2nd at half off in Vancouver and Orlando

Well, the current promotion to see Anthony Robbins for 50% the second ticket ends on October 10th. This deal lets you buy the second ticket at 50% when you buy the 1st one at regular price. Considering that the event is already almost sold out (no more VIP tickets available) this is a pretty good deal.

Some people have asked me if there will be an even better promotion… I doubt it. Considering that Tony will be in Vancouver on October 17, the people who wait until the last minute will have to pay the full price (if it doesn’t completely sell out by then.)

As for the Orlando show, there may be more discounts…. but … for now, the 50% is a sure thing.

Now, back to nursing my fever in bed (with laptop hehe) … I’m trying to decide in which city I’d rather see Tony Robbins; Vancouver or Orlando… hmm.

Anthony Robbins discount 2 for 1 tickets in Vancouver and Orlando – Labor Day 2008 Only

Well, I would have love to have seen the Anthony Robbins show here in Montreal earlier this summer, but unfortunately the finances were more put towards Tristan and Zachary’s summer camps :) that’s OK…

For friends out in Vancouver, I thought this Labor Day special offer for 2 for 1 tickets for Anthony Robbins in Vancouver, British Columbia is a pretty nice opportunity to save some serious dough. The regular price for those tickets is $1095 a piece, so getting 2 for 1 is a nice discount !!

Another eHarmony free communications weekend – both eHarmony USA and eHarmony Canada from August 29th to September 1st…

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Well, eHarmony is having another FCW “free communications weekend” starting on Friday, August 29th and running through the weekend until September 1st. Basically what this means is that you can send personalized messages to other eHarmony members. I strongly suggest you register at eHarmony and complete the eHarmony profile questionnaire on either eHarmony USA or eHarmony Canada *in advance of the free weekend* because it does take some time to do, and there are parts of the profile that may require approval by eHarmony moderators or staff.

If you’ve read my previous reviews of eHarmony, you’ll know that they have one of the most complete (300+ questions!) profiling systems in the dating world… also, the FCW doesn’t allow you to see photos of other members… so get in touch with the prospective member and ask them to send you a pic or two by email.

Costco Coupons for Eastern Canada for August 18 - 31 - Ziploc sandwich bags , Chewing gum, Cadbury chocolate bars

Costco Coupons for Eastern Canada from August 18 - 31, 2008

Since I will probably go to Costco (not now over this short short lunch) after work, I though I would share the current coupons from Costco.

Here are the coupons for Costco Canada outlets for the weeks of August 18 - 31. There are some interesting deals, my favorites are :

the Ziploc sandwich bags (although I prefer using the freezer bags since I use cheaper non-zip-loc closing bags for sandwiches),

the 24 pack of Excel or Wrigley chewing gum (less than $0.45 per pack!)

and the Cadbury chocolate bars. Obviously those are junkish chocolate bars, but it beats paying $1.00 - $1.25 at an office vending machine. Yes, I know, I could just keep organic carrots in the fridge at work…
