I dropped by a pretty large store today and it appeared it was closing down as well. Evidently, it was using the same liquidation company that is handling Target Canada\u2019s closing. As I walked in I saw all the sale signs as expected.<\/p>\n

I noticed there was this one item near the front of the store. It was a Jamie Oliver cookware set where as you can see here had a regular price tag of $829.99. I\u2019m not a professional chef or anything and so the price for that seems ridiculously high in general. With 40% off the item was now $497.99 which on a surface level seems like a crazy deal. But, it got me curious on the kind of prices that are available for that item elsewhere.<\/p>\n
