What's The Best Deal You've Gotten?

[wilsonlam97]

Thanks to the RFD community, I've scored some great deals over the years. So I've gotten a 20" monitor for $19.97 ($30 after recycle fee and tax) at staples thanks to a price error.

My other great deal was the HP Touchpad.

So what's your best deal?

[Jimboski]

Logitech Webcam retailed at $120 but went on sale for $20 from Dell..
Kind of crappy but yeah..
Don't think I've gotten In on a successful price error yet :(. One of the main reasons why was because I don't have a CC! Now I do though!

[Poulet]

Touchpad -- Staples 70$
Gas pressure washer - Zellers 99$
Garmim GPS C320 - The Source 300$ (when they came out)
NAS3 Pioneer speaker dock - Best Buy
HP 1112 Laser Printer - Staples 30$
Speaker stands - Zellers
Tassimo Machine - 40$ Zellers

Price error on Samsung sound bar.

$120 for a $399 sound bar. Not bad.

[Stock R]

Can't remember specifically but it must have been the $0.01 price match deals with Staples back in the day :)

[ji2o0k]

Best deal so far is the price error on a 40" 1080p LCD Toshiba TV from Sears....

It was listed at $219.99 but should have been $519.99.

Jumped through a lot of hoops to get it as Sears originally cancelled all orders but ended up honouring 1 per household that ordered....

The bad boy is still in the box, I need to set it up!

I once bought a pair of soccer cleats for $4.99 when they were stickered at $150. I used the SCOP and got them for free. They pulled the SKU from the shelf for a few days after that!

[BluePhirePB]

Probably that Resistance 3 Doomsday Move set. I think it was MRSP $150 or something but they error had it for $30.

[jigsatics]

Two 24" LCD HD monitors from Staples for $99 each. An Acer and a Benq. They were being sold for around $230 at that time.

[Piro21]

A really nice Heys backpack for $10 from Sears, on clearance. It was normally around $80.

[LaserEnvy]

Whhaaattt? How you guys get these good deals?

[tsat]

herpes. Got them for free

[Aznsilvrboy]

Two Dell U2311H IPS monitors for $139 each.

[Myv]

Dell coupon of $250(? forgot) that worked on anything on Dell.ca, free games and $20-30 for a GPS that was $299.

I've scored a lot of great deals over the years on RFD but in actual $$$$ value then it would have to be about $ 9000.00 savings by buying a car in the USA simply by reading and learning the procedures from the RFD thread.

It's a tie between the free cereal, free pizza and the free ice tea.

AAhh! Those were the days!

I swear, getting a good deal is a like a drug - I feel so great afterwards and I feel proud to tell everyone how much money I saved (eventhough they probably don't care). I like to buy the best quality I can get for the best price - ever heard it said, "Can I have a bottle of your finest, cheapest wine?". :)

Anyway, we were looking for a sofa set and I wanted high quality leather (not the laminated crap you get at The Brick). We stopped in at The Chesterfield Shop and found a set in the clearance section that was 60% off. Pure, buttery smooth aniline leather in a cowboy boot brown. We were told that the set couldn't sell because the colour wasn't hot enough that year - everyone wanted chocolate brown. Can you believe it? The set was originally $5500 a year or two before and went through a series of markdowns until it ended at around $2000. The cherry on top is that they had a 'pay zero HST' deal. So we got a top-of-the-line, locally made (not Chinese!) sofa set for $2000 that will likely last us for another 30+ years. Ah, I love telling that story! And a little plug: The Chesterfield Shop has incredible customer service for those passionate about leather. I've never met a salesperson more knowledgeable on what they're selling.

I always love a good deal story;)

I got a Dell Vostro laptop with i7-2620QM, plus a free laptop case for $331.26, taxes inc. Was a random screw up on their website that was fixed within a few minutes and only came with 2GB of RAM, but RAM's so cheap I quickly upgraded that to 8GB.

Nothing. All speedometers have km and miles on it. Some electronic ones can be changed by pressing a button.

I just bought the Grace Allegro Internet Radio for $33 USD at Bestbuy in buffalo. Retail is $169.99, but the unit is on clearance, so we picked up 3 units. :)

The $1 X-Box games at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. I didn't get any of the top titles, but I'm not a gamer so I'm satisfied with what I purchased. The next would probably be the $10 off coupon at the Bay from a month or so ago. These are all due to the kindness of RFDers sharing info.
