The problem reads:

**During a Boxing Day promotion in Edmonton, Alberta, Krazy Krazy Televisions advertises a 42-inch flat-screen television for $300 off and "they will pay the GST" (Goods and Services Tax) while Too Good To Be True Electronics is discounting the same television by 30%. If the original price of the television at both stores was $1299, which store offers a better deal?**

Let's break this down:

1. **Krazy Krazy Televisions**: 
   - The television is $300 off the original price.
   - They will pay the GST (meaning no GST is applied to the price).
   - The original price is $1299.

   So, the discounted price at Krazy Krazy Televisions will be:
   \[
   1299 - 300 = 999
   \]

   Assuming GST is 5% (standard rate in Alberta), this store covers the GST. Normally, GST would be added like this:
   \[
   GST = 0.05 \times 999 = 49.95
   \]
   But since they cover the GST, the final price at Krazy Krazy Televisions remains **$999**.

2. **Too Good To Be True Electronics**:
   - The discount is 30% off the original price.
   - The original price is $1299.

   So, the discounted price is:
   \[
   0.30 \times 1299 = 389.70
   \]
   The price after the discount is:
   \[
   1299 - 389.70 = 909.30
   \]
   Now, applying the GST of 5%:
   \[
   GST = 0.05 \times 909.30 = 45.47
   \]
   The final price at Too Good To Be True Electronics is:
   \[
   909.30 + 45.47 = 954.77
   \]

**Comparison**:
- Krazy Krazy Televisions price: **$999** (with GST covered)
- Too Good To Be True Electronics price: **$954.77** (after discount and GST)

Therefore, **Too Good To Be True Electronics offers the better deal** at **$954.77** compared to $999 at Krazy Krazy Televisions.
