Well, if he was in the Target, why didn't he buy it there??? Why give
TRU the biz anyway? Even discounted they're still making money and I
think most people know my opinion of TRU in general.
But if you really want to force TRU to match (and I've done this 3 or 4
times, it has worked for me every time I've done it)... buy the set at
Target, go to TRU, ad, set and receipt in hand, and ask for a match.
They can't very well say Target doesn't have it in stock, you have proof
they did.
This is good if Target doesn't have enough of what you want available at
the time.
During the recent sale, I bought 4 of the 4561s at Target.

| (...) Because he had $100 in TRU Visa credit to use. TRU doesn't tend to have much that I want so that was a good chance to use the credit. Oh well, TRU will likely put the 4561s on sale too. Steve (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
