Bi-Annual Buying with Help from CAA

As I’ve blogged before; I don’t go shopping, I go buying.

My trick is to hit the outlet malls, where a $50 t-shirt is the more proper price of $11.

I never buy trendy. So while I am never really en-vogue, I’m never really out of it, either; instead, I go for “classic”.

That and black, because then everything matches.

Here’s my new trick: use your CAA card, and receive

an additional 10% off your total purchase price, before tax

And that includes things that are already on sale. Everything.

A $150 jacket was reduced to $60, NICE.

Click here for a full list of CAA partners; their reach might surprise you, like it did me.

Here, I’m at the Gap Factory Store, and the Banana Republic Factory Store.

That’s where I met Shantel, who even got me into some not-black, not an easy task; natural salesgirl, that one ;)

CAA Lifeside Assistance

Follow CAA on Twitter and friend them on Facebook, and if you’re driving without roadside assistance, that’s foolish, join now.

Get a Roadside Assistance Plan

If your car breaks down, what’s the plan to move an immovable hunk of metal?

New cars are not immune… flat tire / out of gas / missing keys … It’s like buying a feeling almost… that wherever I may get stuck, I dial a number and a helpful truck and driver just, show up.

Favourite line:

[what do you do when] a car stops, and turns into a giant, immovable mass of metal, for which you’re responsible?

A correction:

Second last paragraph, first sentence, it says “used cars are not immune”, but that should say “new cars”

 

The 2 Types of Roadside Assistance Plans

Check with your dealer for details, but as a general rule:

Dealer Roadside Assistance

  • tows you to nearest dealership
  • covers your vehicle

Auto Club Roadside Assistance (eg. CAA)

  • tows you to wherever you ask
  • covers you the person, so even if you’re driving a friend’s car, you’re still covered

 

Mini-cover, third down.

CAA has saved me so many times, I have a blog section just for them – CAA
