Given my obsession with an iPod Touch is well-known, a colleague dropped off a copy of a Wal-Mart flyer showing an 8GB model on sale for $179.83, or a $100 discount.
At $179.83, buying a Touch went from a nice-to-have to a must-have-right-now. So as much as it would mean driving to a mall, it was a sacrifice I was prepared to make.
Sadly, it turns out the flyer had a typo – the “1″ in $179.83 should be a “2″, which puts the Touch back into nice-to-have territory. Apparently, a few lucky people were able to take advantage of the typo by taking the flyer into a Future Shop, and getting Future Shop to match the price and get an additional $10 off – letting them buy a Touch for $169.
I’m envious!
Update: In a lame attempt to see I can sneak in a deal, I biked to the local Wal-Mart this morning. Sadly, there were signs stating there was a mistake in the flyer. I got no love from the salesclerk either.
