A huge list of free US State road maps, guides and tourism info! You won’t really appreciate the usefulness of this list until you decide to visit one of the US States. This list was apparently prepared by LKB.
The list reminds me of the Animaniacs “50 US States†song

I came across this interesting post on JimmyCanuck’s blog. It shows how you can save loads of money at stores like Future Shop just by trying.
… That being said, the sale was for 12% off the regular price of $2599, rather than the $2499 I paid. I worked out the difference between the two after the discount and expected to get around $200 in return. Of course, that’s if I could convince the customer service desk that I was in fact entitled to the money. With it being an online only sale, the store might have argued that it doesn’t really apply to them (and for the most part, they’d be right.) Despite this, I decided to go on down and try to slug it out with them anyways. After all, $200 is nothing to sneeze at.
When I arrived the cashier… read the rest on Jimmy’s blog here

This deal was in last weeks Linen & Things flyer but is good until the end of this week. This set apparently sold out the 2nd day in most of Toronto’s stores. Not sure about the rest of the province or country. To save yourself the trouble you can still order this item online.
Don’t forget the coupon code 9846 to save $10 off any order over $50. If you order 2 of these that almost covers shipping.
I should warn you most of the smaller items on the site say their sold out, but you can get lucky & find a cheap $1.99 hand towel.
Just in time for thanksgiving or makes a great gift for the holidays. Includes the following:
non-stick roasting pan | oven rack | salt & pepper shakers | 2 Gravy bowls | large serving dish | 12 pc knife set with wooden block & scissors.
Enjoy!

Some hot deals this Sunday only at Shoppers Drug Mart. Kit Kat, Mars, Skittles (and probably other chocolate bars) are on sale for 39 cents! I wish there was no limit… I would’ve bought a whole box of Kit Kat.
Did anyone notice the photo of the Kit Kat in Shopper’s flyer is the old Kit Kat wrapping? The wrapping with a foil and then paper on top. I sort of liked that old wrapping more.

JulieOnMyMind had an awful experience with GroceryGateway.com. Not only have they delivered broken bottles and substituted items that she hadn’t asked for, but their customer service was poor (and usually unreachable) and their managers were rude.
As I’ve mentioned previously, together was can make a change and force such careless companies to provide a better and respectful customer service. If we stop shopping at these companies they’ll learn to respect us.
Here’s JulieOnMyMind’s experience.
I have been using Grocery Gateway for a long time, for several years. Unfortunately, they have had more than their fair share of mishaps.. stemming from broken bottles of pasta sauce to substituting items that I didn’t ask for.
In my latest order, they simply ‘forgot’ to send a 12 pack of pepsi that I had ordered and paid for. So, I attempted to call the customer service department… which shouldn’t be too hard to do, right? I tried calling over and over again for more than an hour and there was no answer. There wasn’t even a recording to tell me that I had gotten through to the right place. I called the delivery person who brought the groceries, but he said that I needed to call customer service. A second call to the delivery guy brought some action where-by he said he would contact the dispatcher about my problem.
I sent 2 e-mails to grocery gateway
Here is a copy of the first one I sent at 5:39pm yesterday to customerresponse@grocerygateway.com ….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hello,
I received my grocery order at approximately 5pm. According to my invoice, I’m supposed to have a 12 pack of pepsi but it did not come with my order!!!
This is a problem that is easily fixed… so at 5:05pm I tried contacting the office by telephone to let you know that an item is missing there was NO ANSWER at the 905-564-8778 number. I tried the 1-877-447-8778 number and I got a recording that I can’t reach that number from this calling area. (I am in Toronto- so there’s no need for a toll free number) I tried the 905 number again and again and again… still no answer.I went so far as to call the driver- he however informed me that I need to speak with someone at Customer Service. That should be fairly easy to do but still at 5:29 there is no answer!!!!!
I tried the Corporate number but of course they are closed at 5:30pm.
How is this supposed to inspire confidence in your company if I can’t even get through on the Customer Service number.
When am I going to actually get ALL the items that I have ordered and paid for?
And thank you very much for all the hassle that you’ve provided me by making me sit on the phone waiting for someone to answer the phone for 25 minutes. There was no recording to even indicate that I had gotten through to Grocery Gateway.I do understand that you have gone through many cutbacks and many many changes- but there should at the very least be someone to answer the phone when a customer calls.
Below is a copy of the order.
Will I even get a response to this e-mail? Or have you cut back on people checking e-mails too?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am sure you can sense my frustration in that e-mail.
The second e-mail I sent was more of the same….(sent to customerresponse@grocerygateway.com at 6:04pm)
It’s 6pm now and I have continued trying to call the customer service number with NO ANSWER!!!
Are they all on holiday? Today is a weekday. According to the times on the website, you’re supposed to be open until 10:00pm on weekdays.I expect my issues with my missing item and your poor service to be resolved someway, somehow.

Greater Toronto Area)____________________________
So I sent them another e-mail at 8:01pm
Satisfied?
You expect me to be satisfied after having tried for an hour to contact someone by phone and not getting through to anyone?
There’s no explanation as to why it is that there was NO ANSWER for an hour on your phone, no apology, no act of good will for the inconvenience caused regarding your problems with your phones?
No, I’m NOT satisfied.
_______________________________I got no response to my third e-mail, so I called them today.
I spoke with a supervisor named Michelle, and she offered to have the pepsi delivered to me tomorrow. She completely didn’t put on her ‘listening ears’ as I tried to explain that it’s not JUST the pepsi that was my concern. She claims that they have ‘no record’ of the e-mails that I sent and I still have not gotten any apology from her. And to make matters worse, believe it or not, SHE REMOVED THE CREDIT that was on my account for the pepsi!!!
