Sorry for the unprofessional title! I just got blown away by this amazing deal!
This is more of a YMMV “Your mileage may vary” kind of deal but has the potential for some really good bargains and it also applies to Walmarts not even remotely close to a Sam’s Club. But most likely Walmarts in Ontario only.
Today is Sam’s Club’s last day of operation in Ontario before the store is handed over to liquidators. I think Walmart had stocks in its warehouses that were supposed to get shipped to Sam’s Club, but when the decision to close Sam’s Club was made they got sent to Walmart Canada stores instead. These items including electronics are being sold at exceptionally low prices.
For example Walmart Kingston which is not close to a Sam’s Club has 3 brand new Sony KDL‑52WL140 TVs (YES the W series!) on sale for $1500! These exact same TVs are sold at Costco Canada for $2,529.99. That’s more than $1000 in savings on a spectacular TV.
How good is that TV? Well let me explain how Sony does its model labeleing:
KDL‑52WL140 is exactly the same TV as the KDL-52W4100 but it (KDL‑52WL140) also comes with a Sony Bravia Internet Video Link ($200-$300 value). Although I personally think the extra Sony Bravia Internet Video Link is pretty useless it’s better than nothing I guess.
So why 2 different model numbers? Well the KDL‑52WL140 is meant to be sold at Wholesale stores only. i.e. Costco and Sam’s Club. When Walmart ended operation of its wholesale Sam’s Club stores in Ontario they had to send a lot of these wholesale only items somewhere and they obviously weren’t going to send it to their rival Costco. Instead they sent a few to each Walmart store. This is why I’m saying it’s a YMMV deal.
How good is the KDL-52W4100 (KDL‑52WL140)?
KDL models come in S, V, W and Z series
- S-series is total crap quality TV that has a Sony name but doesn’t even use a Sony engine. Stay away!
- V-series uses Sony’s Bravia Engine 2 and is an awesome TV.
- W-series (the one on sale at Walmart) uses Sony’s Bravia Engine 2 and also adds 120 Hz which in a nutshell means that DVD/Blu-ray movies won’t get that blurring effect when something’s moving fast. Not a life-critical feature but nice one to have. Read about 60Hz vs. 120Hz here.
- Z-series adds 10-bit panel (instead of 8-bit for the above series) but are ridiculously overpriced and not worth it.

This was just one deal but there may be other hidden goodies at Walmart that were meant for Sam’s Club. The employees at the electronics section in Kingston knew that it originates from their wholesale stores so ask! I suggest you give your local Walmart Canada a call to check on stock availability first.

Want your first taste of the Barenaked Ladies sans Steven Page? Their first performance as a four piece has been made available exclusively as a free download until March 27th. Click here to give it a listen and see what you think.
A lot of people are saying there’s a noticable weakness to the band without Page. I haven’t had a chance to listen yet. What do you think?
UPDATE: I’m about halfway through the album right now. Some of it’s good, but anytime they go to an older song that prominently featured Steven it just sounds awful. Note to BNL: new line-up means new band. Cut fresh tracks and stick to those. kthxbai.
Sure some US TV shows make fun of Canada sometimes, but it’s usually in a fun lighthearted manner. This segment by FOX News however was not even close to being funny, and lacks any respect for the Canadian Military and Canadians in general.
It was part of the FOX News Red Eye Report and they can be reached at [email protected].

Hi, Boo/Sally
Thought people might be interested in this awesome sale of NYX cosmetics.
The only thing is the shipping to Canada. It shows up as approx $54 USD for shipping through USPS. What I did was have it shipped to my friend in Seattle, so the final cost including shipping and exchange rate worked out to $2CAD/item. (I got the 1st set there with the eyeshadow trios and lipglosses). Those items usually cost about $5-10 at Walmart, Zellers, etc.
I did contact them directly about shipping to Canada. They said that the best that they can do is refund the difference in the shipping cost once they have an accurate value from USPS. They assured me that it won’t be $54 USD. This was a glitch in the program.
So if there are any Smart Canucks out there who have a US shipping address, or are willing to pay first, and then get a partial refund on shipping, then this is an awesome deal.
Keep up your great work, guys.

The “Pay What You Want Restaurant” trend has finally hit Canada! Oscar’s restaurant in Barrie Ontario allows you to pay whatever you think the meal is worth.

There’s also a simillar restaurant in Montreal, Quebec according to the Toronto
Crescent St. tavern hard hit by drop in business tries something new
Already stung by a slide in American tourists and a deepening financial mess that’s keeping business customers away, the Taverne Crescent, situated on one of Montreal’s historic party streets, decided to implement a new policy: Pay what you can.
So yesterday, lunch-hour customers were given the choice of an appetizer, plus either tagliatelle bolognese, salmon or braised beef, and coffee or tea, for whatever they wanted to pay. For a dollar even. Or nothing.
“Some people might pay nothing,” said owner George Pappas, “but maybe when they have more money in three or six months, they’ll come back and pay more.”
Looks like this whole Pay What You Want Restaurant concept will be taking Canada by storm very soon. I would personally never go to these restaurants because I know I would feel extreme guilt and overpay for my food. Actually, that’s sort of the idea. But I still think it’s a very neat concept. It’ll allow hard working restaurants with good service and high quality food to succeed while restaurants with poor service to run out of business.
