SBCregal Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi all, I have been looking for a heater to warm up my pop up shelter for a little while now. Today I noticed that princess auto had the buddy heater advertised on sale on their website so I went into my local store to grab one after work. I got there and found they had none of the ones I was looking for in stock only little buddy and big buddy units. I was kind of disappointed until I noticed the price on the big buddy units $80 DOLLARS! thats 109.99 off of regular price, and 12 dollars cheaper than the advertised price on the website for the smaller unit. If anyone is looking for a heater, check your local Princess Auto store. I don't know if all the stores have them on sale but my local (Barton st, Hamilton) does. When I left just before close tonight they had 16-18 left in stock. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan668 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nope. Called both with SKU in hand. They are not 133.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 The Barrie one has no little buddies left. Only big buddies. They also have the 3800 btu ones. 79 bucks. That should still be lots to keep me warm in my little hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Mississauga matched. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCregal Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 bassassin, I saw what the website advertised price is, that's what got me into the store. Once there they were priced even lower, for $80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 133 is a good price, but 80 is a steal, awesome deal there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) They also have the 3800 btu ones. 79 bucks The one they had was like the cat. No heat control. I passed. Edited February 26, 2014 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater0025 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for the heads up on this amazing deal, I took a drive to my local store (Kitchener) and they were tagged at $96.94, but when I mentioned about price matching the Hamilton store I got it for $79.84. I paid more than that for my Little Buddy heater a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I too got one last night but upon further inspection, these are reconditioned units. Minor scratches and not in the bag inside the box.. Don't really care too much so long as it works. Oh ya I took it out of the box and just turned the dial to pilot and the pilot light lit up even though I havent even put any propane bottles in yet, LOL. It was also labeled at $133 but they let it go for $79 when I pressed them. Mississauga store. Still lots left Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
