Wal-Mart Amazon price war

Apparently there is an Wal-Mart Amazon price war, I’m a big fan of online shopping and if Amazon in Canada is as competitive as the US and UK Amazon  then I will be doing a lot more shopping there. Unfortunately they are a bit slow off the mark but there are some bargains to be had and I like the free delivery after spending $39. Only problem is that you have to shop early to get your goods in time.

Wal-mart prices are so cheap and if you willing to line up and shop in a crazy atmosphere, parking miles away then its definitely an option for Christmas Shopping. Personally I can’t bring myself to do it, I would rather pay more to not have that traumatic experience BUT i will consider shopping in Walmart closer to the midnight hours to get round all that.

Dent and Scratch Places

There are a few of these around, google it for your area, some advertise on craigslist.com they can be really good deals for just a scratch on the side where you cant even see it when installed. I worry about the warranty and service and also hard to getting matching appliances this way but its worth looking into.
