When you see a deal, you have to jump on it!

We've been wearing Merrell hiking boots for quite a few years now. And I wear mine every day, so we've learned that I can get a solid two years out of them before it's time for another pair.

And the last pair I bought was in August of 2014, so I figured I had better keep my eyes peeled for a sale online at some point over the next 3 months.

I didn't expect the deal to come up so quickly, but when you see a deal you have to jump on it!

I had never even been to the Canadian sporting goods website www.sportinglife.ca, until I came across it yesterday. And, a fantastic deal on a pair of Merrel hiking boots!

Regular price of these boots is $250 CAD, and they were on sale for $124.95.

And they're still on sale this morning for any of you guys in Canada that need a pair!

I checked around, and sure enough these boots are $250 at any other store in Canada. I did see them for around $165 USD in the states. So either way, $125 CAD is a great price!

I put them in the cart and was about to check out when I noticed that they have a "buy one, get one at half price sale" and that sale items were included!

I've always wanted a good pair of sandals, but could never bring myself to spend more that $15 on a cheap pair. So I saw some popular Reef men's sandals for $65, and put them in the cart where they instantly became $32.50.

Another great deal!

And then it was free shipping, and only 5% GST...no provincial sales tax.

So, for a grand total of $165.36 CAD ($130 USD), I got a top quality pair of hiking boots, and a decent pair of sandals.
