CANADIAN OOT BAG info...where to shop!

Is there anyone out there that lives in Ontario - central/southern - that would want to share an order of tote bags from discountmugs.com??

 

I've been looking for a very long time for tote bags...canvas, jute, beach totes....and we are not finding anything and are ready to just order some online....but the more you buy, the better the price.

 

Here is what we are looking at:

 

http://www.discountmugs.com/nc/view-product/TOT37/the-regatta-tote-bag/

 

I would order them blank (so no set-up fee)...and then just use the iron-on transfer paper to put something small on it myself.

 

What I'm thinking is this...we order 50 bags and then just split the order. I would need 20, but if someone wants to share (or two people), I would be willing to buy a few extra to cover what is left. The total cost is $191.03, which would mean each bag would cost $3.82 - a pretty good price for a nice zippered tote bag. Also, we love the orange colour.

 

Anyone interested, PM me ASAP to discuss. As of right now the estimated ship date is March 20th - and we leave April 8th, so we need to order them ASAP!

I already have my bags so I can't share with you unfortunately, but I would suggest just buying them anyhow! I'm sure you could sell the extras to someone when you get home if you don't sell them  beforehand.

That's too funny because I also braved Costco today and I bought the 24 pack of Exel gum as well as that diarrhea relief! WAY Cheaper than imodium! I also picked up some packaged nuts from there. I LOVE Costco!!!

 

If you are looking for Pepto chewables, I think it might be on sale at Rexall Pharmacy. It's around $8 at Superstore and there are 48 in the box- 6 in each foil/plastic (wrapped). Glad to hear that your shopping is working out for you

I ordered mine from here! They have neck/wrist lanyards and they are very cheap!! I ordered mine over a week ago so I haven't seen them yet. Check it out!

If we end up doing snacks, which I think we will, it will definately be coming from costco! I love the idea of the jerky, and I definately want goldfish in there as well as the motts fruit snacks

Just wanted to share a couple of my latest finds! Lots of the stores/items mentioned on here are only available in ON Anyways, I am located in Edmonton and wanted to share my finds with other AB brides! I also need help finding a few final items...

 

 

2) Starfish for my place cards. These are SOOO expensive!! Anyone find a good deal anywhere?

 

3) Still looking for aloe!!

 

4) Anyone in Canada able to find advil or tylenol in the small packages?? I really don't want to blow my budget on the $2 containers!!

 

Thanks ladies!!!

Have you checked Michaels for the starfish? I read in someone's post that they found some there. I might check it out this week and I'll let you know! 

I know there is some on Oriental Trading but holy smoke the shipping/fees on that site is INFURIATING!!! 

 

As for Aloe, I know that Dollarama always has it in the summer so I plan on waiting until some shows up in the stores! Avon sometimes has it on sale if you have an Avon lady around you can check with her lol.

Julienelson0713.... I was lucky to find starfish at a local homesence last year. I think I paid $10 for about 30. I dont know if that helps. Just keep an eye out. Especially now with summer things coming out.

Right now Canadian Tire has the bubba mugs on 50% off....so we got those for our bridal party.

 

Went to Dollarama and got clear tumblers for the guests....we also picked up hand sanitizer 2/$1, tylenol, advil, mouth wash, and tums.

 

We're still looking for lip balm with some SPF....dollarama has nothing, and everything else I can find is $3 or more EACH! Any ideas for this ladies?

 

Also still on the hunt for totes....every website I've found is US only

 

So all of you who are looking for Chapstick/Lip Balm, here is a good site that ships to Canada. (link posted below). It is Bulk Apothecary, and the great thing is that the tubes are white with no labels. In trying to do a sample of my personalized ones I bought a couple of the dual cheap lip balms at Dollerama, but getting the label off to put the personalized label on was a HUGE job. I could NOT imagine doing a large lot of them.

The ones at Bulk apothecary are not SPF, but for the price, they can’t be beat. They come in 6 flavors and are 28 cents each. The cost to ship 60 of them to Ontario Canada is approximately $20, so for the cost of the lip balms plus shipping, they work out to approx 61 cents each, and again.....plain white tube, so personalization is easy!!

Here is the link

I DID check micheals and they were $6 each for large ones!!!!!!! INSANE! I think I will just have to be patient and keep my eye out for a good deal. Yeah dollarama definitely doesn't have it yet. I never though of Avon..I should look into that
