There’s nothing like finding out you saved a chunk of cash!

While I was searching online for some type of adaptor that can allow me to hook up a coaxial cable to my new laptop, I noticed that the laptop I bought a couple weeks ago was on sale for $999.  I initially thought I had left my reciept for my laptop at home back in Toronto, but this morning I took a look in my wallet and saw it in one of the side pockets!  Happy that I’ll end up saving $150, I headed to the local Kingston Future Shop.

Now I was a bit worried about trying to take advantage of Future Shop’s price guarantee since technically I was on the 15th day of my laptop purchase, but it wasn’t a problem when the associate rang in the transaction. :)

Here comes the good part:  turns out my HP Pavilion laptop was actually cheaper in-store than it was on the website! It was coming up as $899.  That means I saved $250 off my original purchase price.  Not too bad, for a pretty cool laptop. :)  After seeing the good news on my receipt, I went to some of the surrounding shops and spent more money I didn’t have (I got the laptop on credit :P ).  I did purchase a really cute LeSportsac bag at Winners and some more supplies for school from Staples. :)

Oh, and if anyone knows where I can purchase an adaptor for DVI/HDMI to coaxial cable (or if such a thing exists) so that I can record my soap operas on my computer at home while I’m in class, please let me know. :D

What do you think?
