Amazon has Noco jump starters for approx 35% off.

Instant buy for me. Lesson learned the hard way from when I accidentally left the lights on the truck on up a FSR only to come back after a 32km hike to find it dead.

Hope you got the GB-70. I have two 70's and one 40. Both are fine, but for larger vehicles, the GB-70 is needed. I have yet to have the GB-40 fail to start a vehicle, but ya never know. And yes, you need a starter for electric vehicles. A dead 12 volt means no starting the EV.

I've been fortunate with the iMiEV. Coming up to 8 years and 12 volt is very strong. I plug in at home just about every day. That's how the 12 volt gets charged. The Smart Car, on the other hand is bricked. All because the 12 volt died. Such a stupid design. The Warranty on the POS was 4 years. FOUR years!! The main traction battery is toast. Will cost more than the value of the vehicle to replace it. Felt like a pioneer when I bought the thing back in 2015. A great car with lots of torque but poorly designed. Mercedes jammed out and said, "Sayonara." Anyway.................. had to whine about it. Never buy another Smart Car. Not so smart. Build quality is pathetic. And Mercedes gave absolutely no shit about it. They got to build XXX number of polluting vehicles, because they had produced "some" electric vehicles. Industry standard warranty on EV traction batteries is 8 years. Argh............. getting pissed off just talking about it. If anyone wants to drop a jet engine in it, PM me, gulolol.

Yep. Got the gbx75 as the truck is diesel. One of those things where redundancy and bigger is better matters.

Thanks for the Amazon deal on the GB40 battery booster.
Crappy tire has it on sale for $148, Princess auto has it for $140. But Amazon clearly beats both of them hard.

SSM_DC5 11-25-2022 10:08 PM

Useless car fact: hybrids can't be used to jump start the regular ICE cars because they don't have an alternator. The hybrid puts its electronic system at risk if it tries.

Learned this when my friends Fit battery died and his dad with a hybrid Toyota wouldn't give him a jump.

I have an Eliminator jump starter and Noco gb150. Use the eliminator one a handful of times each year cuz Fit batteries suck.

LOL, McD's is having a Black Friday 50% off Big Mac deal. One time purchase from 25 to 27th. Why can they not do a half price quarter pounder with Cheese?

So it's Canucks Big Mac for $3.00 today. Too bad you can't do half price of that. Come to think of it, even at $1.50............. nuff said.

Speaking of strip clubs, didn't know #5 orange was so busy on a Thursday....
Went last night, got in around 9 with two tables, by midnight the place was packed.

The onslaught of black Friday jokes for lapdances from my friends was savage, the ladies of the night did not bite lol

And then Merkules walks in, I had no idea he was local from Surrey, humble guy I must say
(cue 1 other person on this forum knowing who he is)

last thursday of every month is "Move Something" party

Fido Black Friday deal
$30 for 20GB, unlimited Canada calling, international text, 1000 LD, back to $55 regular price after 15 months.
$25 additional line.

Not sure if it’s available at every Fido. Crystal Mall Fido has this deal.

New customers only. I switched today. Fido’s data speed seems very slow compared to Telus. But I was paying $68 for 20GB at Telus before.

I switched over to Fido and yes the data does feel sluggish compared to Koodo

Fafine 11-26-2022 03:41 PM

Koodo has the same deal for 24mo instead of 15.

bobbinka 11-26-2022 05:38 PM

if you want phone S22 or iPhone13 for free, it's $50/mth for 25GB LTE on Fido with a $125gc (Visa) through Wow Boutique at Richmond Center. The GC is actually higher, but they apply it towards the phone and give you the remainder.

basically you get the $30 plan that everyone is offering + $380~ for the phone.

People are selling iPhone 11s (used and new) on Facebook for anywhere from 300-400. There's an influx right now since the iPhone 11 is also on promotion from Fido.

If you're looking for a Pixel 7, you can get the 128GB for around $450-500 CAD by trading in an iPhone 11 since it's worth $494 USD right now on Google USA.

I haven't broken 2 gigs in a billing period in 4 years. my contract is up and I'm going with shaw. cheap!

unit 11-28-2022 07:15 AM

i stopped by the mall and bell had $30/20gb so i went for it. i was with fido so i wasnt eligible for their offer which wasnt even advertised at the kiosk. i think they were advertising $40/20gb

Razor Ramon HG 11-28-2022 11:24 AM

London Drugs has a bunch of stuff of open box stuff on sale for Cyber Monday.

Have a pending order for an open box 65" Samsung QN90A for $1124. Thought my brother might want it because he was shopping for a new TV, but going to a friend now. Just waiting for a pick up notification.

Other people got BNIB DJI Mini Pro 3 with the remote control for like $650~ I think.

radeonboy 11-28-2022 12:09 PM

^The drones are a steal if they're indeed BNIB - I already have a Mini Pro 3 but ordered another one as a present if the order goes through.

The expensive TVs are a great deal as well, but OOS in the lower mainland.

Edit: Looks like LD's been restocking on their TVs - fingers crossed my order goes through for pick up.

PeanutButter 11-28-2022 12:11 PM

100% Rogers is slower than Telus for me... I wish I never switched. Once my contract is over with Rogers, i'm going back to Telus.

On slightly related note, I called Telus because my internet and TV was coming up and they gave me 1GB internet, TV for $89 + $50 bill credit. Shaw is offering $89 for 1GB internet + $150 bill credit, but this saves me from having to switch everything over.

Did Rogers give you a deal on Black Friday? I waited 45min last week to see a rep only to be told "nah man, I can't get you a deal better than what you already have"

Which one did you order? Mine still processing.

Read some people are getting BNIB drones transited to the store. Wonder if my friend is going to get a new TV instead, lol.

I ordered a 65" C1 and the Samsung QN90 - the C1 is a display model and the QN90 might be brand new (there were 2 in stock when I placed the order) - I'll need to call to confirm. It's on the island so I'll have to catch a ferry to retrieve it, but it'll be worth it if it's brand new in box.

Are you talking about Internet? If so, you need to speak with the retention department and tell them that Telus is offering you a better deal to switch over. That's the only way you'll get some leverage.

The Rogers Internet deal is a public deal going on right now, so anyone can get it.

Went with my friend to pick up the TV from Brentwood Mall London Drugs.

It was an actual display model. Came out in bubble wrap on a dolly, lol. Not even in a box.

:alone:

Picked up the DJI mini 2 fly more combo for $369.96. I did not know this but the price gets reduced by 50% when added to the cart.

Razor Ramon HG 11-28-2022 08:02 PM

I ordered another Samsung QN90A at Chilliwack. Saw the DJI Mini 3 Pro in stock, so decided to just grab it anyways.

Wonder if the TV is display as well and if the drone is BNIB, lol.

Will probably use this TV while Geek Squad figure out what to do with my LG C9. Had a bunch of dead pixels on the top and bottom. Not sure if they replacing the panel, giving me credit back or a new TV, lol.

winson604 11-29-2022 08:19 AM

Man I'm so out of the loop on cell phone deals and such. Once upon a time I was like always one of the first to get the best plans via retention, Government plans and such but fatherhood made me get out of the game. Finally got off my lazy ass though and hit up Rogers live chat yesterday, was on an old $65 for 15GB unlimited talk and text plan with Rogers which is now out dated as fuck. They gave me 50Gb with unlimited talk and text for $65 + $20 off = $45/month for 24 months. No contact just month to month. That's good right lol? I don't know I'm paying less and got almost 3 times the data I ain't complaining.
