Okay, so here's an interesting point for discussion. Was in Indigo yesterday looking at some books for my gfs stepdad for X-mas, he's obsessed with World War I & II and has collected all different kinds of weird stuff, bought him model planes for his bday. But figured I would grab some world war books, since I have $150 in gift cards. Now an interesting thing is that the books have Canadian prices and US prices... which do you think they would honour?? Since there is a huge difference in price..??

Bring US cash with you and offer to pay the US price in US cash. It's like a double-discount! :D

Of course, they won't take it...

Could save more if you signed up for their subscriptions rather than buying each issue individually lol
