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.

Generally duvet covers in Canada are really dull, they seem to like this clean hotel style and I find it almost impossible to get a good deal on anything that looks remotely interesting. For some reason they seem to favour the sheet set and focus on making them look pretty…er .. but you can’t see the sheet under the duvet cover…it really doesn’t make sense to me.

After searching through many malls, I finally came across a beautiful duvet cover I liked in Winners Homesense in Metrotown for $70 it was a bargain as the usual price was $130 and it was good quality but a rare find. Looking through other shops like Quilts etc, Home Outfitters I was shocked to find prices from $120 (approx. £53) upwards, why is it so expensive compares the UK!? If only there were the same size I would bring some back on my next trip.

Check out the difference in prices for fun and pretty looking duvet covets that you can order from Amazon.co.uk

At the moment I am settling for Ikea & Homesense to get my bedding but if anyone has any ideas I would love to know!
