If you're looking for an opportunity to save even more south of the border, consider making a trip to the U.S. this coming weekend when many malls, department stores and retailers will be having their Presidents' Day Sales, one of the big national holiday sale events in the U.S.

With the recent weakness in the Loonie, big sales like this are a great way to continue to save by shopping in the U.S., as many stores will be offering discounts of 30%, 40%, 50% or more an a wide selection of items.

Most sales will start on Friday, February 14th and run through Monday, February 17th, but be sure to check with individual malls and retailers ahead of time to confirm their sale hours.
