Fun for friends and family

Wanna be my brother? Sister? Aunt? Nephew?

Every once in a while, Future Shop holds a sale for friends and family. The nice thing about this sale is that, as far as Future Shop is concerned, we are all friends and family.

The next sale takes place this weekend. It comes and goes in a hurry, though, so plan on making some time to stop by the store nearest you this Sunday evening (in B.C., Alta., Sask., Ont., N.S., Nfld., PEI) or Monday evening (Man., Que., N.B.).

You'll be getting a minimum of 10% off most items available at the stores during this sale, including televisions, high-def players, speakers, and receivers.

Or, better yet, slip on over to the online store, futureshop.ca. Online bargains become effective on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET (that's 3 p.m. for the cowboys and cowgirls and 2 p.m. for the wet coasters) and are available right through noon ET on Monday.

The deals online are even better, with some offers - like MP3 and iPod accessories - only available on the Web.

Here's a list of all the savings being offered.

And now that you're part of the family don't forget to send me a card on my birthday.
