Why the heck aren't you my neighbor but then why would you leave all those wonderful computer stores close to you!! I love tigerdirect.com Judith _______________ Remember, most stores have price matching. If you have the ad, take it to the store closest to you and check it out. Sometimes the store will call the other store to make sure they have the product available. Most times, they just see the ad and honor the price. I have done this MANY times over the years....with NO hassle. If the ad is online and you do not have the newspaper, print out the ad. You could try to call the store first to check their policy and make sure you have your ducks in a row. I think Office Depot even has a policy that it will give you back the difference plus 10% if you see the item advertised cheaper elsewhere. Read the fine print and act quickly. For instance.... CompUSA had a sale... in the Sunday..but only for six hours particular hours on Sunday...so check it out! Circuit City's add was only for 4 or 5 hours on line! (They have the buy it on line and it is ready in the store for pickup in 24 minutes or get a free $24 gift card!) I sign up for the store ads. It is usually one email a week and I do not get spam because of it. They do not share your address. This helps keep me on top what is on sale.You can buy most sale items on line. You may also be able to get free Shipping. CompUSA has a deal. You pay $20 to join their loyalty club. That is what they call it in the store. It is the CompUSA Network For Business - For Work, For Life, For Play. You do not have to have a business to join. For the $20 for the year, you get: Free standard Shipping on online orders. We got 100 DVD's (for about $10 ) and the shipping was free. DVD's are heavy! Free Annual Computer Cleaning & Tune-up. You just bring your PC into the store with the certificate you get in your membership package. You can track all your purchases. You get points for all your purchases and can get free stuff with the points. Just getting the PC tune-up cleaning is worth the $20. I doubt I will spend enough to get anything with points, but the free shipping and cleaning make it worthwhile in my mind. In any case...you have great help here. These folks are great! Enjoy!
