Looks like Best Buy will have the awesome Wii U bundle with Super Smash Bros and Splatoon on sale for $280. I'm guessing that'll go really fast.

The Wii U,

I remember getting it for $176 during some ridiculous red flag deals that were matched by Superstore during the double the GST off promotion.

This was during the same time 2 years ago.

There is a Chamberlain 3/4 hp belt drive with MyQ for sale at CanadianTire starting Thursday. Seems like a pretty decent deal:

I have this opener which replaced a 20+ year old Stanley that finally died. Quiet, and smooth. Would recommend.

The battery backup feature is nice, should you want to open your door during a power outage, and don't want to revert to opening it manually.

What do people think of this TV for $750?

http://www.visions.ca/catalogue/cate...&sku=UN58H5202

Looking for either a top end TV for a good deal or a mid-tier TV at good price, just really depends on what's available.

Sure, but was it the Deluxe edition? Did it come with any games? Also, it's worth noting that the Canadian dollar was hovering around $1.00 USD and game and console prices have increased due to the falling value of the dollar lately.

You're getting two of the best games for the Wii U (deluxe is all they sell now), and combined with Xenoblade Chronicles X, that will keep anyone busy for a long time.

Any complaints with it? Looking to use this as a long term solution because I have one that has lots of problems with closing/opening. Also how was installation?

I have a Chamberlin MyQ belt model. It is awesome. I think I paid just under $300 for it in the summer. There is a guy in the power ring thread who can come and install quick and easy.

There are some really good uses for MyQ. Like giving someone access to the garage via your Iphone. I have had friends come and pick up things I leave in my garage and they text me, I open, then I close when they leave. Also you can tie it into home automation to turn on your lights when you open the garage, or notify you when it was left open so you can close it from work.

It has been very reliable and worth the cost.

Belt is better than chain. I find it is still a little noisy, but I was coming from a Marantec which are the quietest on the market. I have a detached so I don't really care about that.

Thanks Everyone!

Now the thing is the difference between these two models. Might go with the Canadian Tire one because it's on sale, though I've read good reviews of the Amazon one. What's different between the two, and which one should be better?

Not sure if these classify as Black Friday deals but I just picked up a couple discounted items today for the kitchen:

Red - Bosch TAS5543UC Tassimo T55 Brewer ($229.99 on sale for $48.88 with free shipping):
http://www.amazon.ca/Bosch-TAS5543UC.../dp/B007OQF6RK

ANOVA - Precision Cooker (Sous Vide) ($179 on sale for $129 with free shipping):
http://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-cooker/
http://store.anovaculinary.com/produ...ecision-cooker

Excited to use the ANOVA Precision Cooker, and needed a replacement for my dying and calcified old Tassimo.

Sure was, that's what was so amazing about it...it was the Super Mario Wii U Deluxe Edition 32GB.

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/mario...-rcss-1416030/ which with double GST came down lower.

On the hunt for a good deal on a quality stacking front load washer and dryer.
Any suggestions?
The drum on my current front load seems out of balance and worries me every time it spins.

I have that TV. I got it for a little less at Superstore in the summer- but not much less. I really like it. Bought a Panasonic 55" around the same time and the Samsung is the better of the two TVs.

Samsung also has a built in CraveTV app, in case you subscribe to it.

Have always been impartial to Samsung and LG's so that was the first point there.

Compared to Samsung's in a similar price point both the washer/dryer were larger.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/...fd23e38a44en02 was another one I considered which was the Samsung but the general reviews comparatively were much better for the LG and as mentioned this Samsung was smaller.

Looked at a few Whirlpool's but they didn't have the same features as these two until you got to an 1800 price point.

I am going to be picking this up. Tough to beat. The equivalent in a 4k are $1000 more. My eyes aren't good enough to justify the extra $1000k.

Same model same price at Best Buy, Visions, London Drugs and Superstore so far that I have checked.

I made a similar justification. That, and there isn't really any 4K content available now- not in the near future. At least not on Bell. By the time we have much- say 2 years, the cost of 4K will come down. Then I have a 58" TV for the garage.
