Back to School 2013: Let’s Go Shopping! #Giveaway

August 17, 2013 By Lena

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

As a year-round savvy shopper, the concept of “Back to School” shopping isn’t really a big deal chez Lena. After all, chances are I’ll find better prices on fall/winter clothes during the after-season clearance, and often, Friends & Family Events and other shopping promos offer just a good a deal.

However, I do believe that there’s something magical about starting off the school year with some new threads, so I always make it a point to supplement my boys’ wardrobe with some on-trend pieces at a great price. Of course, there’s no shortage of Back to School sales at the moment; everything from supplies to clothing to (gasp) spray tan. Yes, apparently one needs to have a golden glow while converting fractions to percentages.

Not surprisingly, a Visa Canada survey shows that Canadians are being more frugal in their back-to-school shopping, and are looking online for better prices and deals. In fact, 90% of Canadian shoppers will be setting a back-to-school budget, and 87% of shoppers surveyed admitted to “showrooming” – looking at items in store before buying them for less online. As a long-time advocate of online shopping, I’m thrilled to see that more and more folks are catching on to the money (and time) saving benefits of shopping from the comfort of your home.

This morning was no exception. Armed with a cup of my favourite French roast coffee in the wee hours of morning, I was delighted to take advantage of Old Navy’s Jeans Sale. Until August 29th, you can grab jeans starting at just $10 for the entire family! It’s a great way to stock up for back to school – for less.


Of course, being a money-saving ninja means that I do have a few additional tips for you:

1) Before you start shopping, sign up online for Old Navy’s mailing list (found at the bottom of the home page). You’ll instantly receive a coupon for 20% off your entire purchase! While the coupon did not work for the $10 jeans, it did work for those priced $11 and up. So, I was able to grab a few pairs of jeans regularly priced at $19.50 for just $8.80! That’s a savings of 55%!

2) Check out the SALE section for amazing discounts on swimwear, tees and shorts. Ladies bikini bottoms can be grabbed for as low as $1.99, and I even found some sweet swim trunks for both my little guys for next year. And remember, you’ll receive an extra 20% with your mailing list promo code…. start the car!

3) When you shop at Old Navy until September 4th, you’ll earn SUPER CASH towards a purchase made between September 12th and 18th. (Find full details here.) So, because I spent $50 online today, I received a coupon for $20 off a future purchase of $50 or more. If you whip out your calculator, you’ll see that translates to a whopping 40% off if I spend exactly $50 during the week of September 12th and 18th. WOWZERS.

4) If all that wasn’t enough… you’ll score FREE shipping on purchases $50+! It’s the epitome of awesomeness.

This morning, I found the following toddler jeans at amazing prices… I picked up the following styles marked BOOM!

The jeans, plus a few pairs of underwear for Ryder (they have the cutest boxer briefs!) had me comfortably at the $53.80 mark. So, free shipping + an additional 20% off + $20 off my next purchase in SUPER CASH. Is it any wonder I LOVE online shopping?

(A word about security: Visa cardholders shopping online can count on several layers of security to protect them including Visa’s Zero Liability Policy, Verified by Visa, E-Promise, Address Verification Service and CVV2, the three-digit code found on the back of your card. Or, for those who prefer to shop online using existing funds or for those who lack access to a traditional credit card, Visa Debit offers a safe and convenient alternative.)

I’l be returning to Old Navy during the SUPER CASH redemption period, but this time I’ll shop in-store, as I often like to browse the clearance rack selection that isn’t always available online. It’s knowing when (and where) to shop that can really stretch your dollar, and I am nothing if not a frugal fashionista.

WIN IT!!!

One lucky Listen to Lena reader will win a $100 Visa Gift Card, to help offset some of your Back to School shopping! To enter, simply fill the form with your qualifying entries. Good luck!

    Being able to shop online is awesome, I love not having to wait in line, saving money by not having to use the gas in my car, I just love online shopping!

      Convenience of shopping when and where I want in a stress-free environment and being exposed to so many new and different products which would take forever to find if I had to traditionally shop

    I find I have better luck getting the sizes and selection I need online. The Old Navy where I live is always a disaster and picked over. And we don’t have some of the stores I like to shop at here (like MEC), so online is very convenient.

  10. Lisa

    August 17, 2013 at 1:00 pm

    I have 4 little ones, including a set of twins. Shopping online is a necessity for my sanity! And it is a great money saver for all the reasons Lena mentioned. Our clothing bills are huge, and I’ve been burnt a few times trying to buy second-hand clothes online (full of stains/rips/etc). This way I can still buy new clothes and not have to take out a second mortgage to do so :)

    August 17, 2013 at 4:24 pm

    I LOVE online shopping ! For me, walking through the stores has become problematic, so I am not able to spend as much time looking at things as I used to. And let’s not forget being able to buy things in the midst of a snowstorm :o) Certain items though I MUST go into a store to buy – shoes or boots definitely, and watches (some watches will stop dead on my arm, but as soon as they come off my arm they start ticking merrily away again – weird).
    The only thing I miss, as you have mentioned, is being able to scour the clearance racks. So every now and then I make sure to get into a store to check them out.

    My favourite part of on-line shopping is the convenience of it all. I have a toddler who loves to trash and destroy , so at least o-line shopping is quick, easy and I can get what I want with zero stress while he plays. It is also amazing that it never closes and no matter what time of day , esp if you can get a free moment to yourself you can go on and shop. Sometimes those min aren’t until 3 or 4 in the morning :) Thanks for the Giveaway

  103. SUMMER PLEWES

    August 20, 2013 at 11:53 am

    I like online buying because there is no lines. For example, my son loves walmart jeans, I go to buy a few pairs, they are cheap enough but the lines are incredibly long. They only had one pair left, I go online when I get home, order 4 pairs for 8 dollars less (EACH!!) than I paid for the other pair in store and they have lots in stock online and it comes with free shipping and comes right to my doorstep in a few days.

    Online purchasing rocks!

  114. Debbie Bashford

  124. Amy Brown

    August 23, 2013 at 1:25 pm

    I like to browse around the clearance and sale items before the full priced items, when I’m online shopping it’s easier to find the sales. I also don’t have to stand in line!

  125. Florence

    Being high-risk with my 3rd pregnancy is posing some major shopping withdrawals especially since our youngest is 8 all of our baby items have long been donated to others so we need everything from scratch. I love that black friday is coming up and I plan to take full advantage of it and snap up as much baby needs as possible :D

  145. Rosie

    August 28, 2013 at 2:43 pm

    I love shopping at home because I can take my time, look at what I want to and not have to have other people in my way. I especially love Old Navy shopping – they have some great deals, and the free shipping and returns is a giant perk.
