saved $40 in buying a prepaid cellphone

we planned to buy a TELUS prepaid cellphone Samsung M220 to replace current one we are using, we went to Telus store first, their price is $69.99 before tax,  a lady calculated for us it would be $117 including tax and everything else(to be exact it's $35 activation fee), I remembered user can swap device online only for $10, I asked the staff and they acknowledged.
we changed mind and decided to go shopping at FutureShop because it has "price match" policy, the cell phone price is $69.99 too.we met a good-hearted salesman in FutureShop, he told us: BestBuy always tries to beat us on price,take a look there. we went to BestBuy, it is $59.99, we bought the Samsung M220 and did a "device replacement" online at mytelusmobility.com for only $10. the total we paid was $77.
