Montreal monopoly...

Today, my mission was to hunt for a USB printer cable. I just bought a 2nd hand hp5100 series printer for 25 bucks, and was feeling abit proud of it. MINUS the fact that it didn't come with the cable.

When i went under La Cite, in their digital source, i was horrified by its ATROCIOUS price of 21.99 CAN before tax - it was gold plated (honestly, who cares if its gold plated or XXX)

So, i left the shop feeling abit lost. i called a friend to check the norm price, and even he lamented about the awful price in future shop. Finally, i decided to walk up St laurent from sherbrooke, towards the computer shop somewhere above rue des pine.

Opposite the gas station on st laurent, there is this ghettoish-junk looking shop packed to the brim with stuff. i have always wondered what's in it, so i decided to try my luck. my mouth dropped open. that shop was just soooo packed with stuff that the walkways were <>

Finally, i bought the cable, 6" for 3 CAN (tax INCLUDED) plus i bought a maxwell 25 piece blank CDs for 10 CAN too!!!

gosh, next time, i am gona go there to see if they sell miscellanous stuff that i would want.

PS: the cable worked fine! ^_^
