What a deal!

 Ben and I are all about good deals and saving money. I used to tease my mom for saving random coupons from the mail or taking ads to Walmart to have them price match Harmons to save a dime on grapes or something equally ridiculous, but now I am doing the same thing! I go through all the coupons that come in the mail and check every ad.  Since there is just two of us we don't have to go shopping much so most of the time we wait until the WinCo coupons come. (I just read this to Ben and  he rolled his eyes at me)

 I think I'll move on since Ben thinks I'm lame. Another awesome deal that we ran into this week was getting a $700 High Definition Canon Camcorder for... $200!! What a steal! I work at Best Buy and when a product reaches the end of its life and we'll no longer carry the product we sell our shelf display for 10% off. So I sold the shelf display of this camcorder and the guy returned it the next day because he decided he wanted a sony instead. Well since we had closed out the license for the product we couldn't put it back on display or send it to the service center so my management was going to lose money every day the camcorder was there so I asked my manager what he would sell it for if I wanted to buy it. After much bargaining I finally talked him down to $200 which was well below what I thought I would get it for. I love good deals!
