If you're shopping for an office chair, or lots of office chairs, Staples is a good bet right now. They are holding their "Big Chair Event" (online and in-store), which means there are savings of up to 50% on chairs. Here are some of the better offers at Staples.ca:
The sale runs until November 17, but we wouldn't be surprised if a lot of chairs went out of stock online before that. Staples.ca has free shipping on orders over $50, so keep that in mind.
The offer is valid at all Garage, Dynamite and Chado locations in Canada. It is not applicable to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards. One coupon per transaction.
Looking for some guidance or extra resources to consult about your career? We've come across some interesting freebies at OfficeTeam.com. OfficeTeam is a large temporary staffing service for administrative professionals.
You can request for a variety of guides to be mailed to you directly (yes, Canadians are eligible). Some of the items of interest include a 2010 Salary Guide, a Word/Excel Quick Reference, an A to Z Business Etiquette Guide, and more. For something to read right away, they have a short PDF eBook called Earning the Recognition You Deserve that you can download.
Finding a career, maintaining a career, and advancing a career are challenges that a lot of people have on their minds right now. It never hurts to check dig around for some extra resources -- especially free ones.

Forum user Soulsaber has spotted an excellent deal over at BestBuy.ca. Right now, Rock Band 2 (game only, no instruments) can be had for just $19.99 for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii! That's a terrific price for this super-popular game. Prior to this, you weren't likely to find a new copy for less than $39.99. All 3 titles currently list as out of stock, but will ship when available.
Again, the main thing to note is that this is the game only. You will need to purchase instruments separately or have some from other games (check instrument compatibility at Rockband.com).
BestBuy.ca offers free shipping on orders over $39, so if you buy 2 copies, you should qualify.
