The Mystery Sale

This is the Daves No Frills flyer that whizzed through the mail slot yesterday. What could this sale be? And whatever it is saves you $50.00. So armed with a huge sense of curiosity I walked up the store. Joined the other twelve people waiting to get in (last sale there were fifty people waiting but I guess advertised turkeys were more than a come-on than a big question mark) and entered when open.

So you ask yourself what was the sale item, the piece worth lining up for and if bought will save $50? Looking in all the usual bargains bins I flailed around until the obvious hit me - a skid of B&D Toasters was standing where the knocked down toilet paper usually stood. These black, trimmed with chrome double bagel toasters were it! Remembering the words of the love of my life, "Have you got $20.00 if you find out what it is, it has to be worth $20 and useful!" So wondering if this item fell into that category I wandered off home knowing that Dave wouldn't be moving two skids of these things before we got back. Will we buy one? Maybe. The $9.00 Wallymart one we use is due for replacement but I don't know if we can go upscale just yet!

It's time to fill out your CPP retirement papers Ben. You are showing one of the worst symptoms of entering a doddering old age - lining up at 8 am for a bargain without even knowing what it is!
