Well, given the fiasco I had today in the Zellers sale, this
on-line price isn't surprising.  Both stores I went to didn't
get the BOGO 50% off deal punched in.  I had to go back and
get my receipts fixed.  And because Blue Tubs were already at
$24.97 instead of the regular $26.99, they were confused about
which price to take the sale from.  Plus the local flyer didn't
help because there was no sale written in it.  All it said was
"We have LEGO".  Thankfully someone knew and put the signs
up on the shelves.  Then they told me that they take the
cheapest items in your entire purchase to take the 50% from,
instead of doing things in pairs.  So if you have 10 $100 sets
and 10 $4 sets, you will save $20.  ?!?!  Thankfully the cashier
I had agreed to run several orders through for me in pairs.
But I get home an noticed that I still paid full price for both
of the Womens Team soccer sets I bought, except for the 10% early
bird discount (which was extended for the whole day at one store,
as long as you had the coupon by 10:00 am).

I had a very similar problem. Went into the store and bought a pair each
of 4 smallish sets. Paid for them and headed out. Looked at the receipt.
No BOGO, no 10%! Went back and got it fixed up to both of them. I'm
fairly sure I got what I intended in the end. I think James Brown
mentioned that he had to specifically ask for the BOGO, too. I hope
this isn't an upcoming trend at Zellers!

Personally I wish the stores would just stick to flat rate sales
instead of these price-setting gymnastics they do.

Well, occasionally you *do* get some good deals.
