Stores With Price Matching Guarantees: An Easy Way To Save

Post image for Stores With Price Matching Guarantees: An Easy Way To Save

I had to buy some memory cards for a camera recently and found what I thought was a great deal at Best Buy – a 16GB card for $ 19.99, normally $ 42.99.  I bought two.  A few days later, while flipping through some ads from the Sunday paper, I saw that Office Max was selling the same card for $ 16.99.

Okay, so I overspent by $ 6.  Not that big a deal, right?  But wait a minute – I overspent by $ 6!

I grabbed my computer, went to the Best Buy web site and found that it has a Price Match Guarantee.  If you buy something from them and then see the same item advertised at a lower price by a local retailer during the return or exchange period (which varies by product), they’ll refund the difference.  So, I took the ad and my receipt to Best Buy and got $ 6 put back on my credit card.

Seniors: OK, Hike Taxes to Save Medicare

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Strapped for savings and with less financial leverage in a sour economy, American seniors are in a tight spot. Problems with the federal budget deficit are on track to be dealt with through Medicare cuts and some amount of tax increases, both of which are bad for the nation’s older citizens.

Nobody knows how or when Congress will cut Medicare or any other major government entitlement programs. But ask most economists and they’ll say it’s not a matter of “if” but “when” programs such as Medicare will have to be cut — or risk the U.S. government going into default.

In the wake of the Congressional debt super committee failure, seniors want tax increases if it means protecting Medicare.
