Commuting to the office can soon become part of the list of remember when?

Instead of running to the bus stop or sitting in the car for the daily commute, the office of choice may be inside your own residence.

According to a recent survey of business owners, in 10 years they believe many offices will become virtual teams of online workers.

With the changes in technology thanks to the prevalence of high-speed WiFi and tools such as Skype, an office worker doesn't have to be in the cubicle outside the manager's door any longer.

For those looking for work from home options, here's a slideshow of those that pay the best:

SLIDESHOW: BEST WORK FROM HOME JOBS

The recent news about Target moving into Canada was greeted with cheers from those who love the high-style, low-cost retailer. It's another U.S. store coming into the country, offering more choice for Canadian consumers.

While U.S. brick and mortar stores are slowly entering Canada (J.Crew is said to be investigating the market), Canadians are still shopping online - both at Canadian and foreign retailers. They're shopping at stores that don't have a brick and mortar presence and of course, to get the best deals.

CBS MoneyWatch.Com special contributor Ray Martin offers three great tips to help manage money. He says by going online you won't only save time, but you'll save on postage as well.

When friends ask me to recommend a place to get new business cards, I refer them to Moo without hesitation.

The site allows you to upload your own photos and designs to create business cards, mini-cards, greeting cards, postcards and stickers. Stuck for ideas? Browse their inspiration gallery.

If you've never used Moo before and you feel like creating some products before March 30, enter the code HSG9RB at checkout and you'll get 20% off your order.

Not everybody has the luxury of a MEC in their backyard. If you don't live in a major city, odds are you're relegated to shopping on their website, which means added shipping charges.

Until April 20, however, shipping is free on web and telephone orders above $40 (and it's pretty easy to hit $40).

To qualify, the order must comply with Canada Post's size and weight requirements (no dimension over 1 metre and weight less than 30 kgs) - that means skis and other oversize items don't count. The same goes for hazardous goods shipments.

Shipping on orders under $40 costs $6.50.

As a woman, I feel for men who are forced to wear dress shirts and black pants to work every day. Apart from getting a purple mohawk (not recommended in a workplace that enforces dress shirts and black pants), there don't seem to be many options for self-expression through fashion.

The website Shirtsmyway.com, however, gives guys the option of designing their own dress shirt from scratch. Everything is customizable - from the collar style to cuff fabric. You can also enter your specific measurements to achieve that perfect fit.

Shirtsmyway.com is offering an exclusive 10% discount to WalletPop Canada readers. Here's how to get it:

1. Place your order normally.

2. Within 24 hours of placing your order, send an email to support@shirtsmyway.com with "WalletPop 10%" AND your order number in the subject line.

3. You will be refunded 10%.

This deal is good until through Friday and can't be combined with any other offers.

If you're like me, you go through socks at an accelerated rate at this time of year, purely because you need to layer 'em to protect your tootsies from frostbite.

Why not add a few extra pairs to your stash, if only to stave off the laundry demons for another couple of days?

Gap online is currently having an excellent sock sale. Buy three or more pairs, and you'll get $6 off each pair. Basically, this means you can get three pairs for $7.50. Not bad at all. Mind you, you will still have to shell out for shipping, but the more pairs you buy the less of a problem that becomes.

Have you complained about the weather yet today?

I'm willing to bet that 80 per cent of Canadians will answer "yes."

Well, I can't promise anything, but perhaps your spirits could be lifted simply by tossing your hat in the ring to win a free trip to Las Vegas or Mexico.

Just-Eat.ca, a really great website for ordering home delivery (over 480 Canadian restaurants are on board, I've used it several times), is having a draw for a trip to two. The winner will be announced on March 31.

Just go to their Facebook page and "like" Just Eat to enter the draw.

You can also increase your odds by sharing the contest with your friends on this page.

As the holidays draw to a close, you may have noticed your own stuffing has become a little more plentiful. Weight Watchers, being quite aware of this, has waived its online sign up fee (normally $39.95) if you buy a three-month plan before January 30, 2011.

To sign up, click here.

Note that the plan itself costs $21.95 per month, and will be automatically renewed at the end of the three months unless you unsubscribe.
