Bought a NINTENDO SWITCH today. Anyone else notice how these consoles have been prices at 899.00 on Amazon and in some places 1299.00 Are people really trying to gouge us while in a pandemic? Seemingly.
What things have you wanted to buy recently that seem priced crazy?

Thats a tough one at SMS @popping is correct unless it's unopened electronics are generally non returnable there but bought on points during bonus redemption days (200,000=300,000 or $200=$300) pay the balance plus tax and get 20x the points back then the risk might be worth it.
I've gone a little crazy buying shoes and boots and got a great deal on rain gear reg.$170 for the set about $42 after discounts. Finally I won't get wet riding my bike to work after living here for 30 years! But i havent noticed a lot of price gouging just on toilet paper if you can find it. Thankfully the royale $10 gift card promo at the end of january had me stocked up on toilet paper and tissues.

I don't play video games. You are shopping at the wrong store.
But I heard that lots of people are getting cheap Switch around $400 - $450 at Shoppers Drug Mart(SDM). If you collect PC Optimum points, you may be able to get 200k points back during a SDM promo. 200k points = $200 groceries at Superstore or beauty cosmetics items at SDM.
Please note that some SDM stores treat electronics item as final sales with no return. If it is DOA, you need to deal with manufacturer. I purchased a portable hard drive at SDM a few years ago, The cashier took a "Final Sale" rubber stamp and stamped on my receipt with final sale.
