I wonder how many dollars have been spent by Canadians through the American
Shop at Home in the last year vs. what we would have spent through the old
Canadian offices? I know for myself it's an easy figure to come up with.
Zero. Nadda. Nothing. Zip. I have spent not a single penny on Shop At
Home south of the border.
Which in itself wouldn't be so bad if there was just something in the stores
to buy. On Saturday past, trips to a Zellers and two Wal-Marts resulted in
every more depressingly stocked shelves at each stop. As a result, though I
was hoping to pick up something interesting... really anything remotely
interesting... I ended up spending once again, absolutely nothing. Anyone
else in Canada feel this way? Unwilling to afford (or refusing to submit
to) the steep Shop At Home prices and unable to find anything locally to buy?

Allan B.

I used to order all sorts of things from Canadian S@H, 2148's, track, a 4552, 4555 etc. This year I've ordered...only the Metroliner thing and I think I asked Jeff Elliott to buy a package or two of (...)
