Miser's Guide to Nanaimo Shopping

Yep, they moved the market too. We just got 20 Archie comics for $5. (Made the young one very happy)!

Happy searching!

Fast Eddies on Bowen Road has a deal on in the evenings - 3 appies for 10$

Damn good price if you ask me... Fast Eddies makes decent food!

(Cheap Fishbowl Cocktails as well!!!)

mmmm... yeah.. appies and fishbowls - delicious!

3/$10 is a steal.

Got a good one for the Miser's Guide:

Movie Gallery on Bowen Rd.

FREE (no catch!) "Gallery" (not new release) movie rentals... they have been free since September, and I asked HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?!

Clerk says it might be an ongoing thing? Crazy!

Go in and get your FREE rentals - great way to spend a weekday evening cash-free!

To further sweeten the deal
I just found this coupon online - if you don't have a membership - get a free rental with a new membership! http://www.moviegallery.com/coupons/codc51c5.aspx

Thanks for that, we're on our way......

We got a free membership today. We also downloaded the coupon which was good for a new release movie. There is a really good selection of movies and it's not far from our house.

Thanks again for the tip.

[grommet]

Ok, we got the membership, we got the free movies and today, we got a phone call thanking us for getting a membership.....????

It's all too good to be true....hopefully, it'll last......if it sounds too good to be true........

I just noticed that the VI Thrift store, previously located on Prideaux (?) has a sign up at the old Movie Gallery location on Bowen Road. We zipped by so I'm not sure when they're opening.

The new thrift store in the Macs mall behind Country Club is great. The ladies working there are so sweet, too.

Can;t beat Costco hot dog and a drink for a couple of bucks
