Senior's day at the Bay yesterday. I needed a new electric blanket as my old one of 15 years died. I was very surprised at the now price of 259.99 and walked away. On second thought I went back and asked the salesperson if they were on sale, as it seemed everything else in linen was. She scanned and it came up 155.99. This was more reasonable, and i then mentioned I was a senior and would get another 15% off today. She said I will need your Driver's licence as proof! My first reaction was too be ticked that she didn't think I was a senior and was lying. I reconsidered, Thanked her for making my day upon handing her my licence! I also have now learned to ask for a scan on an article to verify the price, as it could just be on sale! |

Off the blanket issue, my granddaughter who is working in the US is buying Canadian dollars right now as an investment. As she says, the dollar will go up in a few years and she will sell. |

I bought an electic blanket that was on sale at Walmart. It was the same brand as the one that i bought in 2002. It came with a control that shuts off after a certain amount of time. I found that my old control works and stays on all the time. I think that the timer is now manditory in order to protect children. |

They have taken all the GOOD out of electric blankets to add SAFE. If they really wanted a SAFE world, instead of ruining blankets they should ban cars and tobacco. |
