The most cost effective shopping trip EVAR

(mis-spellign intentional for added dramatic effect)

Ok, so I walked into Best Buy about an hour ago with my old Gamecube I had bought there, eh, maybe 3 months ago. Nothing's wrong with it, but they don't need to know that.

I return the gamecube under my 2 year replacement plan I bought (for $20), and get a credit for what I paid for it ($150).

I then walk around the store, and find a nice pyramid of gamecubes they're selling, with a couple nice bundles. Particularly, Gamecube + Link disk (has on it Zelda, Zelda II, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask, plus a demo for Windwaker) + a cd player. So I pick that up.

I also wander over to the PS2 area and pick up both Ratchet and Clank, and Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando (MROW!!! Kitty like!!!).

I then proceed to checkout, where I buy my stuff, including a new 2 year replacement plan on my gamecube.

Final price, after in-store credit, for buying 6 games, a demo, a cd player, renewing my service plan, and getting a brand spankin new gamecube?

$20.57

You. Are. The god of shopping.

That is the most deliciously devious thing I've yet heard of. You GO, lion.

No way, the God of Shopping is my friend, Jason. I don't know how, but his walking into a store with the intent to buy X will automatically make X be on sale, or mis-priced, or soemthing like that.

One time he walked into Best Buy, and walked out with 3 movies and a gift certificate. They literally paid him to stop buy...

We still don't know how de does it.

Really wish I could do that...would make Christmas shopping SOOOOO much easier. Fortunately, I was smart enough to avoid Black Friday. I'm sure I would have been trampled, stabbed, beaten and shot. And that's at the high scale stores, I don't talk about what would happen at Wal-Mart. =^-~=
