(...) Cool, thanks! (...) Yeah, that's new this year, but I suspect it won't apply to sales or discounts - which means it's still not as good as Walmart (which doesn't advertise pricing, so isn't eligible for most price matching) or Zellers (which (...)

(...) The Bay will match any Zellers price, since they are owned by the same company (the oldest in NA to boot...). I think that if you go to WM and they have something on for a price, then go to the Bay, and ask them to call, they will match the (...)

(...) The name is right, but I don't think it was ever a crown corporation. FOunded in 16-something, before they had such things. Kevin (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Oh you'd love it. The "Hudson's Bay Company" (That started at "Hudson's Bay" Canada") traded smallpox infected blankets to the indians of the era.
