    So for the past few years my mother has wanted a Dyson vacuum. But we have a vacuum that works fine (though it's very loud and incredibly heavy), and they are quite costly.
    This week a ton of stores have the Dyson DC29 $100 off.
    What caught my eye is that instead of Target selling it at $399.99 like everyone else, they were selling it at $398.99.

    What a difference $1 can make.

    Price Match the Target price at Canadian Tire, and we got $40 back in Canadian Tire money (10% of the lower price). Even the customer service rep helping us was impressed at how that $1 completely changed our transaction!

    And of course, my mom is very happy now. There is a noticeable difference in the weight, noise level, and ease of use compared to our old vacuum. The only issue we have now is getting used to going in a straight line, and not doing the back and forth motion that we're used to with our old vacuum!

    That's crazy! I always thought it was 10% of the difference, so on $1 it would be 10 cents lol. Great job
    Apply every possible promo code to your cart, at every store that you visit (and get points for cash back on top of that?). It's sweet and easy with HONEY.

    I used to think that too. But we PM'd our T-Fal Actifry there too at Christmas time, and I triple checked their policy online and was pleasantly surprised!

    Fabulous. Will file that info away for later. You will love a Dyson. We bought one a few weeks ago and have noticed a huge difference. The first time you vacuum you will just think "ewww" at all the stuff the old vacuum couldn't pick up

    Really does make a difference. Quite the smart shopping ! Reminds me of my mom who bought my Nintendo 3DS at pharmaprix for the points rather than best buy or future shop.

    Thanks to SC I learned these tips now
