It kind of brought up a point too where many of the deals people may be saving about $10 or so from what I read.  Is that really worth it if you had some kind of event to attend to as an example?  I personally don\u2019t think so.  If anything I would think at worst if I knew something was going to be like a hundred dollars savings that I want I would have probably prepared ahead of time to quickly buy it on a phone app or something.<\/p>\n<p>I guess for Amazon Canada what sounded like a good idea probably makes a lot of Canadians feel like they were a second thought in many ways.
