    Does location of store mean prices are higher or lower?

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    I also notice it depends on competition. Here in the small town I live in the Wal-Mart have very little competition (no other major chain store) are higher than in a larger town where there is more competition. I think that is the major factor on their pricing. Things like dvds, cds, books, and electronics are always higher here than in the larger stores. New released dvds here always sales price is around $19 but in the larger city they have to match Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, etc. they are usually $2 to $5 cheaper.

    I need a good scanner/printer

    I got a lexmark all in one printer. It copies, prints, scans, and faxes (have to have phone connection can't use with cable modems). What I like about the one I have that it takes only one ink cartridge. That's the worst part about printers, some of the ink cartridges are expensive. Compare ink cartridges before you buy to see what they cost. Sometimes it is cheaper to but a new printer than the ink cartridges. Here is one at Walmart.

    Question about PayPal

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    I've used PayPal for a long time with no problem. Just don't ever link from an email to the PayPal website even if it looks like something from PayPal wanting you to update your account. It may be someone phishing for your information and you may end up with a big charge on your credit card.

    Small Voice recorder type thingy...cheap

    I think you are talking about a digital voice recorder. You can find them on eBay, buy.com, and amazon. A lot of MP3 players have built in voice recorders on them also. The more memory on the recorder the longer you can record. I bought a MP3 player from Tigerdirect.com around Christmas and it had a digital recorder with. They had a deal on them at that time. It was a 1 GB mp3 player with a digital recorder built in it. After rebates the cost wa around $9.95 after rebates plus shipping. It was originally $49.95. If you do a little shopping around you can come up with some deals.

    Rebate Rant

    I hate rebates too. They seem to take so long to get back. I try to avoid them unless it is a real good deal. I bought a laptop from circuit city last year and I had to mail out 3 different rebate forms to different places and then wait for several weeks to get the rebate checks back.

    I have a Lexmark all-in-one printer. I like it. It may not be the best quality printer but no more than I print it works for me. It just uses one ink cartridge. I was using a HP photosmart printer but the ink cartridges were expensive. The cartridges for the HP were around $30 for black and around $40 for color. The Lexmark's ink cartridge is around $20. I don't do a lot of printing. I send my digital pictures I want to printed to Wal-Mart via the internet. It's cheaper to have Wal-Mart print them then print them on a printer. I got the Lexmark free when I purchased my laptop. You can find them at Wal-Mart cheap. I think the Lexmark all-in-one printer is less than $100. It faxes, copies, and prints.

    I bought the $10 digital wireless weather station. It' pretty neat not having to go outside to see the outside temperature. It displays the outside temperature (it has a wireless outside sensor that relays the temperature to the inside display), inside temperature, and digital clock with alarm. It's nice for the price.

    netflix or blockbuster for online rental?

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    Blockbuster has started me out with a free dvd rental a week. This is a pretty good deal. 52 free movies yearly, if you pay an average of $3.00 each to rent them that would be a savings of $156 a year. I happy with how I am receivng the movies from Blockbuster. Shipping through mail is going to cause delays in receiving movies, etc. I don't expect a one day turn around but if they make each Blockbuster store a shipping place then the turn around could be quicker. I read that this may happen.

    Has anybody used Intelliflix or any other on line dvd rental services. I was reading about Intelliflix and you can pay a one time annual fee which average out to $14.95 monthly for 3 movies out at a time. I've using Blockbuster now but the turn around is slow. I thought about signing up on Netflix but I found out the closest distribution center was Duluth GA. I live in east Tennessee close to the Kentucky/Tennessee border at least Blockbuster's distribution center is closer to me at Louisville, Kentucky. I read, somewhere on-line, that Blockbuster's local stores may be used as distribution centers and this may speed up the turn around for movies. I do like the 2 free coupons per month for movies, it helps to a little degree to get more movies per month.
