There have been a few changes at Shaw's recently. The first is that they got rid of the Shaw's card. You no longer need a loyalty card to get the deals. Having the card never bothered me but I know many people who didn't like it. So good news for them. Now everyone can get the same great sale price.

Those coupons will not be doubling but that's not a big deal in my opinion.Saturday … [Read more...]
