    Been meaning to post this, just always on my phone and not the real computer this summer!

    For my nephews 1st birthday we wanted to get him something "big" but of course I didn't really want to spend Big!!
    He had been playing on his cousins 4-in-1 radio flyer trike and loved it, so that's what we wanted to get him. So the hunt
    began.

    How i saved at least 88%:

    Turns out they are exclusive to toys r us in canada And came with a price tag of $209.99
    A week later flyer came in and they were on sale for $179.99, This is the price I used for the 88% since
    I was going to fold and buy it at this price. Then I thought I would check out Amazon. I had $55 from swag bucks
    that I had made in about 3 mths. Every time I get $5 or $10 I had been buying Amazon.com GC's.
    So Amazon.com price was $99.00 yay!! , But I had enough for one more $5 GC, so I ordered it and waited the couple
    days for it to show up in my acct. Then back to amazon.com, what They are on sale for $85.00!!!

    My parents camp alot in Michigan, so I "rented" a mailbox on their route and had my dad pick it up. He had also ordered something
    to pick up as well. The store insisted that he only had to pay for one mailbox. not for each parcel!!!! (Its suppose to be $5 a pkg)
    So he said I could have the free mailbox and I owed him nothing!!!

    Grand total, $25.00!!!! Amazon.com didn't even charge any tax!!

    so toys r us - 179.99+13%tax = 203.39
    Amazon 85.00+0%tax+freeship+free mailbox - Swagbucks = $25.00

    and of course a super happy nephew and auntie!!!

    Honestly! You did waaaay beyond fabulous! What a sleuth you were to find the best possible price. Your nephew will be just as happy getting that as you are giving it!! Nice brag!!

    its 4-in-1 so the first stage is almost like a stroller, thats what the handles on the back are for
    thank you
    right now they strap him in and he tries to play with the handles. they use this instead of the stroller
    right now for walking to the park and outside fun he does try to reach the peddles tho
