That's because it's not directly copying the original. The machine is reading the cut heights of your old key, and cutting the correct factory height. It's not tracing the original like the manual machines, it's cutting the specified code heights. It's like a brand new factory key.

so what we used to do was just pay for student youtube premium cause we figured we use youtube premium more than spodify.

i just go on redflagdeals and you will find a forum called group buys. there are always people running subscription family plan deals in there. you can get stuff like yt premium, spotify, etc... for like maybe $3-4 a month. i used the netflix one back in the day and it was all good till netflix cracked down.

Was in the Chrystal Mall area and saw these asians with pizza boxes. One guy had three boxes. I see other people............... tracked it to this new pizza place called, "Pixwi." I quickly googled it and then remembered one of my sons texted me a bout a grand opening. I go in and ordered three pieces. They're large pizza pieces for 99¢ Also can of pop, potato wedges, and chicken wings all 99¢ each. The pizza was your typical "by the piece," pizza. Actually, they were a slice above average.

The sale started today and ends on Sunday.

I got two butter chicken and a meat lover's slices. The place is on Willingdon. Two or so doors down from corner of Willingdon and Kingsway. Sesame seed crust and thin type. Probably too low brow for Honda, but for 99¢, its a good deal. Apparently they have a location in Haney.

$149 Day at Save-On-Foods this coming Tuesday.

Last one was horrible. This one looks a little better. They need to step it up a bit. No longer a legendary sale................

https://www.saveonfoods.com/sm/plann...wn-P9-Week-37=

If you have an account and sign in, its all there. If you don't it'll be up later on Monday.

MG1 09-14-2025 01:43 PM

Ends today, but whatever..............

app only, but 50% off any pizza is decent. Plus, if you're a member, you get points and they add up pretty quick. Free pizza!

MG1 09-17-2025 02:09 PM

Little Caesar’s Customer Appreciation Day. $5 medium pizza. Walk in only and today only.

Got mine at the Kingsway Burnaby location. Man, the two Asian girls there were like machines. No messing around - ten minute wait with constant people coming in.

MG1 09-18-2025 11:42 AM

National Cheeseburger Day. Another one? Anyway...........

https://www.burgerking.ca/offers?lid...BhVAAAAA%3D%3D

$2.00 cheeseburger deal. With app.

May have been mentioned before but Save-On has an ongoing promo in the meat department where if you buy 4 qualifying items that they're all $5 each - stuff like ground pork/beef blends, chicken thighs, some sausages. The thighs are a total steal - they are regularly priced above $10 and I've gotten some packs that were priced at $13 (4 thighs) so we're talking more than 50% off and it's available all the time.

Eggs rarely go on sale anywhere, so when it does, it's somewhat a big deal. It's not advertised, either, as far as I know. X-Large, Golden Valley eggs are on sale at Costco until the 28th. The pallet was pretty much done for the day, but they get eggs everyday. It's probably like a few bucks off, but like I said, it's a deal on something that rarely happens. They expire in at least a month ahead. My son mentioned it to me because I like to make the bricks of sweet eggs for Futomakii and Spam Musubi. I make a whole bunch and freeze it. That's how the Japanese restaurants buy them from the wholesalers.

A&W Teenburger for $4.99.

Amazon Prime Days tomorrow. Anyone got anything interesting lined up?

Im thinking of buying another firestick + bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo so i can put it on any device

GLOW 10-06-2025 11:53 AM

i used to get excited for prime days, as if it was boxing day.
now i'm just like meh. deals aren't really there, other than the usual deep discount on amazon owned products (door bell cams, fire devices, smart speakers, etc) that go on sale 40-50% off every quarter anyway.

i was more excited when aliexpress gave rakuten discounts up to 30% lol

BIC_BAWS 10-06-2025 11:26 PM

Rakuten is giving Aliex 15% CB

Badhobz 10-07-2025 08:18 AM

man there's nothing good on prime days... i just ordered a bunch of these firestick 4k's and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo.

weak

GLOW 10-07-2025 09:08 AM

i might get me a flash stick to try emulation on my xbox, nothing else looking great.

Badhobz 10-07-2025 09:10 AM

yeah try it. that geforce now has a free option (you gotta watch an ad or two before you start streaming) but it still streams at 1080p.

Badhobz 10-07-2025 10:36 AM
