It's almost 3 months since the launch of this service and I thought maybe we can spruce things up a lil'. I'm thinking I'll skip the posting of deals and sales since those who are keen are already on the mailing list. Instead, I ask that you indulge me by reading my random musings on the subject of shopping. ;-)
Buying things and shopping in the US is a very different experience compared to where I am from. Besides the good customer service (save for a few merchants), the stores here (brick & mortar or online) have very liberal return policies. At the boutiques, the cashier will usually ask if the item is a gift and if you like to have a gift receipt (to facilitate the return/exchange by the recipient). Very often, when I stand in line to pay for my purchases someone in front of me will be doing a return or an exchange. Otherwise, they could be getting a price adjustment because they have a coupon or there was a discount since they bought the item.
If you shop online, shipping is usually free with a minimum purchase. If you are not happy with the item (not in the best condition or it arrived damaged) or you simply changed your mind, just print the return label, stick it on the box and ship it back for a refund. I'll usually ask or read about store policies before I make my purchases, just in case.

deals in march
I was browsing and came across this article on the shopping deals in March. I know that retailers usually clear winter items in Spring, so now is a good time to shop for replacements. What's interesting is that March is considered a "non-gift giving month" so retailers drop prices and consumer electronics are a steal after the release of newer versions.
