Bargain lookout! USB drives at Futureshop
About a month or so ago, I bought a 4GB Kingston flash drive at Future Shop - for $10! There must have been some crazy sale going on and I (regrettably) only purchased 1. They are now selling for $40! FORTY!! Insane!
If you’re looking for a cheap flash drive, head on over to Future Shop - they still have one of them on sale - the 2GB version for only $6.99! They’re perfect for school and work. Stock up!!
Sometimes, warranties are fabulous.
Last year, I purchased this pair of Bose headphones:
I loved them dearly - until they completely went kaput today in the middle of my workout. How infuriating! I bought them for $130 at the time, and that’s way more than I am willing to pay this time around.
Luckily, when I purchased them, I also bought the extra Warranty that Future Shop was providing. This covers a lot of things that are under $200 - they will replace it within the warranty time. So, I trekked on downtown and complained about how I had to finish the stairmaster without any (good) music (okay, I didn’t, but I did whine a little, I’m sure). They quickly replaced it with a brand new package of the same pair of headphones. Relief!
Pros: They replaced it with no questions asked.
Cons: Apparently, after you fulfil a ‘replacement’ credit during your warranty time, if your item poops out on you again before your warranty is up, they will give you store credit instead. Wtf?! Didn’t I pay for 2 years? Isn’t it called a ‘Product Replacement Plan’? D’UHRRR.
Oh well, at least I have a new pair of headphones! I lost a couple of the in-ear covers during a snowfall (and mysteriously found it on the sidewalk after the snow had melted) anyways.
So with that - maybe it’s worth spending an extra $15 on a Warranty on beloved items. Oh how I love thee!
Kate Spade shoes - I am impressed!
I am not generally a Kate Spade fan - I don’t really like her handbags all that much - and because of that, she is one designer that I am quick to pass through. That is, until I saw a few of her shoes! Now I’m really dying for a pair! Or five :)
