    Went to the warehouse tonight, at the checkout with a transformer ($9.99), and had a last minute change of mind, went back to grab the Han and chewie 25th anniversary pack ($39.99) as well. got them both for 39.95. :D how? I asked myself that very question. turns out the Transformer didnt scan, and he didnt notice (or was just being nice to me, but that doesnt happen often.) so I only paid for the SW figures.

    Anyways, that was my score of the month. anyone else got any shopping stories (good or bad) while were on the subject?

    yeah I've had many a bargain filled experience at the warehouse! I love how they have 50% off things and often end up talking 75% off cos they do the 1st 50% and then take another 50% the remainder, I got my model podracer that way, it was $60 and I thought "$30 sweeet" took it to the checkout and yep you guessed it $15!! Woohoo!

    Big ups to Warehouse Staff

    not quite. the people the employ for their staff, are not usually the brightest. (except for my and my mum :D)

    I'm 80% certain that I got one of the first Episode I figures for free from the Warehouse - I bought the whole lot in one go, and one didn't scan, but I didn't notice until paying the Visa bill weeks later. :)

    They also tend to be a bit slow at reverting sale prices. Sometimes you can go up to the counter with something that was on sale last week, and still get the cheaper scan.

    I guess their slogan is perfect ...
    The Warehouse, The Warehouse ... where everyone gets a bargin! :D

    Was that last bit meant as the proof of the first bit? :p

    Now there's a career path well mapped out.

    (the irony is my Mum now works at the Warehouse :( - after 30 years of being a remedial teacher, she just couldn't take the school politics any longer).

    Oh, ACE, if you wanna lose your papers, just don't look for 'em too hard...



    Heehee - unlimited edit times! :D

    I would do, but I seem to have lost the big metal baseball bat that the Mafia gave me. :)

    Just work at the comic shop, then you can read them all day long ... except when those annoying customers insist on being helped. :)

    I thought there was only one of anything in Invercargill ... and that's if you're lucky. :p


    Then again, one Tim Shadbolt is more than enough for any area. :)
