Had some good deals over the long weekend. First Gas in Blaine is now $2.81/ gallon approx $.78/L compared to 1.01 here. Avoid the Chevron the were charging $3.21/gallon for some reason.
Camera lenses from Nikon US is around 40% cheaper than Nikon Canada although the warranty is only valid in the US. Similar savings with Sigma (1 yr international warranty) lenses from
www.adorama.com. Although I was a first time customer and my billing and shipping address was different they just called to verify and shipped to Hagens of Blaine without any issues. Adorama.com doesn't charge sales tax and shipping is either free or about $7 for most items.
First time experience in Hagens of Blaine very good experience. they are well organized and courteous.
Didn't find good deals at Bellingham mall on this weekend but Seattle premium had several columbus day sales. See
