Cheap Blu-rays: 3 for $20.99
Todaybestbuy website had a special deal on the Action Hero Bluray discs. Here is the link:

The blu-ray discs are:
Disc 1: THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
Disc 2: I ROBOT
Disc 3: THE TERMINATOR
Since they charge shipping and handling, I decided to try to match at the store. Went to the downtown location at Dundas & Yonge and no problems getting a price match at the checkout. With taxes it came to $23.72 for 3 blu-ray discs.
I like the best buy price match policies which are usually hassle free. I have priced match’ed blu-rays: The Scorpion King and Justice League with Sig Electronics and they come out to $11.20, which is pretty cheap. The price works like this $12.99 at sig, $29.99 at bestbuy which translates to ($12.99-((29.99-12.99)/10) , 10% of the difference.
I have tried to price match at the Futureshop in trinity mall (Hwy 410 and Bovaird) and they have always refused to do it, give every excuse in the book. If you are a frugal (“cheap”) guy or gall avoid this store. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
I have had a little better luck (ok, I got lucky once!) at the Airport & Queen location and was able to get a One touch maxtor external HD for $117, which was less then half-price of the shelf. How did I do it you may ask ? Simple:
Futureshop Price: $249
Infonec Price: $129
Difference: $120
10% $12
Lowest Price – Difference/10: $117
I think Futureshop lost money on that sale!
One of the best price match policies I have seen is the Walmart on Queen Street, not only do they pricematch the competition, they have the competition flyers right there on the front of the store so that you can check the prices. A couple of weeks ago, I price match’ed the Delissio pizza from “Food Basics” flyer for $2.99. The original price is $5.47. Pretty good discount, hey ?
So keep your eyes on for the flyers and use the price match policy of the stores to get the best deals.
