Some good finds!!

This week we are enjoying spending time with my Mom and Aunty Elaine. I really wanted to post some great pictures I took while we were touring the Mission Hill Winery, but all of the pictures on my camera "corrupted"! I was so upset and now i have to take my camera in to be fixed--thank goodness we got the extra extended warranty, but the camera isn't even a year old yet!!! Erghhh!!

So instead of pictures you will have to settle with some good finds that I have come across!

1. Joe has now come out with adjustable waist pants for kids!!!! I have been having a really hard time finding pants lately for Zech! He has long legs and a skinny waist. All the pants are either too short, or too big around the waist. Plus Joe is so reasonably priced!! There are other places that carry the adjustable waist pants, but I think they are a little pricey! They sell for $12 at JOE!!! I LOVE JOE and if you have never been, it is in all of the Super Stores. Their clothes are trendy and super cheap, plus JOE was just featured on the Loreal Fashion Show (this Spring) and it is pretty remarkable that a company that is only two years old has been featured on the Loreal Fashion Show in Toronto!

2. We love to travel, so naturally we collect travel points. Our main travel points that we have been collecting have been the 'Aeroplan' points. We have had such problems with them. It takes hours to book anything and if you don't book it online there is a $25 charge for you to call and talk to someone. We found this out while we were trying to book a flight for John and the internet wasn't working so we had to call. We told the lady that the internet site was down and her response was "yeah we have a lot of problems with it, but we still have to charge you the $25 for calling in"!! Yeah thanks for the great service!! This has just been the start of our problems with AEROPLAN.

However, we have found the perfect travel points Visa. TD offers a new TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card. You can check it out on the TD website (which i can't link to for some reason). It is awesome and it took me only 10 min. to book a flight online the other night!! Some of the features include:

• Unlike other travel cards, you don't have to book your travel at a particular travel agency in order to use your TD Points. You can book your trip through any travel agency or travel provider you choose and take advantage of any seat sales, travel deals, last minute deals, etc.
  
• When you book your trip at a travel provider other than the TD Visa Travel Rewards Centre, simply charge it to your Card, and then call the TD Visa Travel Rewards Centre once the charge for your travel is posted to your Account. The required number of TD Points will be redeemed from your TD Points balance and your TD Visa Account will be credited by the amount of TD Points redeemed. So the points basically give you a dollar amount that you can use towards travel. (10,000 points gives you $50 and you get 3 points per every $1 you spend, plus 9 points per every $1 you spend at the TD Travel Rewards Centre)
  
• Book your travel through the exclusive travel agency — the TD Visa Travel Rewards Centre — or the exclusive website at www.tdtravelrewards.com, where your TD Points will be redeemed automatically upon booking. Earn triple rewards for travel purchases charged to your Card
• Book your travel in any class (including business class and first class)

Get great value when you redeem your TD Points

• Redeem your TD Points for whatever type of travel you prefer, including air, package, hotel, cruise, car rental, train
• Unlike other travel reward cards, you are not limited to "reward" seats and you don't have to book in advance in order to use your TD Points. There are no seat restrictions, blackout periods or advance booking requirements. With TD Points, you can travel any time of year, including peak periods, and even during seat sales¹⁰ — and still use TD Points
• Use your TD Points for taxes that apply to your travel purchases, such as GST or provincial taxes, as well as any other charges or fees you may incur at the time of booking, such as port charges or airport improvement fees
• Your TD Points do not expire¹¹

SORRY, this got kind of long winded, but we are so excited about this new Visa. We are already planning our next trip and saving points!! Plus the travel insurance that this card offers is AWESOME too!! They have just re-vamped this VISA and it is 10 times better!!

3. I have been searching for a place to get my 12x12 digital layouts printed out, that was not super expensive. I just found out that Costco does it now for only $2.49 (next day) or $3.49 (one hour). I don't know what their quality is like, but it is worth the try for that price!
