Home Outfitters: Nespresso Coffee Machines $99

Need to wake up in the morning? Nespresso machines offer gourmet coffee with their wonderful swiss designs.  On sale they have D290, C180, C190, C185, E350 models for $99 a piece at home outfitters.  These units regular price from 299-499 and they are an excellent price for this type of hardware.  Reviews indicate that a capsule (cup) will cost around 60 cents, but the taste is just as memorable from a gourmet barista.  


The down side is, these units use proprietary capsules that even home outfitters do not carry.  These Capsules can only be purchased online or at their designated store, which there are 3 across Canada.  


Reviews indicate that these models are more reliable and better made than the new models and suggest it is because the origin is from Switzerland.  The capsule wars is similar to the BluRay vs HDDVD days; since Nexpresso is owned by Nescafe and a heavy cult of coffee drinkers, there is a chance that these will last.

HMV: Hockey Gold 2010 (bray/DVD) $10

Year 2010 was a good year for Canadians. In the East, there was the G20 summit meeting.  But for the west, the historic milestone will always be remembered with the winter Olympics in Vancouver BC.

The Olympic games brought the world to Vancouver. To the world, the winter Olympics consist of skiing, skating, boarding, etc. To Canada, hockey meant the world.

Hmv currently has the entire hockey set in bluray／DVD for $10. This set is regular priced @$69. I picked up the bluray set which contains 5 disc and it looks rather handsome on my book shelf.

This is not a regular tournament on a disc, but a piece of history.  Be a part of history by picking up this set at your local HMV store.
