Skip (formerly branded as Skip The Dishes) started a new promotion campagin today. From July 28, 2025 to August 10, 2025, various restaurants will be offering $5 “Wow Deals”. I’m uncertain of all cities where these are available in available, so I’ll focus on some of the Toronto area restaurants with offerings. Some locations might allow pick up while some don’t. Delivery is available for an extra charge.

Restaurants could sell out of the $5 menu items on any given day, and there’s a limit of 1 per customer per order. It’s also possible that the some offers could change or be discontinued during the promotional period. Customers need be sure to select the “wow deal” to get the special price as some restaurant also have a separate menu item at regular price.

Here’s are some of the Toronto area offers that I’ve seen:

The Junction Bull BBQ Pit, 2790 Dundas Street West, Toronto

The Bull BBQ Pit, 1216 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto

Air Canada has a lot of direct flights from Toronto to Tokyo for between $1,100 to $1,300, depending on the departure and return date. The sale is associated with your return date, meaning that you can depart in August and return in September or October. You can also use Google Flights to see which travel days work for you. Also there’s a chance your flight will be so packed that extra checked luggage will be available free of charge. That’s what happened on my flight because it was so full and carry on bins were full. Plane food is not the best but that’s to be expected from Air Canada.

If you need help planning you trip, I highly recommend you join the Japan Travel Discord server as there is a wealth of information on there. You can meet people from around the world while you’re there, get help with trip planning, find recommendations on where to stay or where to eat, everything. They helped me a lot last year and I met quite a few people that I didn’t expect to meet if it wasn’t for the server.

There is a possibility that Air Canada flight attendants will go on strike. I’ve also attached my itinerary from last November. Osaka and Kyoto was planned very well. Tokyo, not so much. Good luck to all and happy travels. Cost of hotels has gone up about 30% to 50% due to record amount of tourists.

First real post so be nice

Rogers RPP Dealers are running a back to school promo where you can get a 256 GB Galaxy Z Flip 7 for $4/ month + taxes. Once the two year financing agreement is up you must either return the phone or pay $529 to keep it.

From samsung, the phone retails for $1463
before tax.

Through this promo, the cost you pay for the phone is as follows.
$4 x 24 months = $96
+ $529 save/return amount
= $625 before tax.

That’s a savings of $802 off the retail cost of the device.

You have to get one of their plans along with it. The cheapest available is $50/month for 100GB including US and CAN.

So in total you can get 100gb of US + CAN service with a brand new 256gb Flip 7 for $54 + tax.

AMAZON Brunswick Golden Smoked Sardines $27.00

Back on sale. I paid $23.81 in 2024.

Anyway, these are still a good deal, IMO.

Didn’t see any of the others on sale. Nor did I see it posted.

Check your app. It doesn’t say what size, so I’m assuming that all sizes are available for $1.
