Beach Umbrella - Walmart Clearance Brag!

[web3]

So I'm a cheap-o. Big time.
I will buy the cheap version of something and unfortunately it doesn't last nearly as long as the more expensive version.
Hubby, buys the expensive version first. Usually I can talk him down on some things.

Well, 5 years ago I bought a cheap 5 foot beach umbrella at RCSS, marked down to $10? It wasn't even really worth $10 but we go to the beach like once a summer so I thought, meh, it will do. Well, it probably bent the first use from a light breeze ... but it was usable...until this year.
And hubby says, "see if we bought a more expensive one, we wouldn't have to always replace the cheap ones!"

Well, today at Walmart I found a 7 foot beach umbrella, complete with: tilt feature, carry bag and breeze vent for $5.00!! Regular $25.95!!!
I bought 6 trial size colgate for $1 and used my $1.50 off coupons for overage and paid only $3.43!!!!

Now I can say "see hun, we don't need to pay full price for anything!" and I can still be cheap, ha!

Timing, clearance and coupons FTW!

Nice and good for you. I am like you cheap and always try to wait for a sale so I can get some good deals like this one.
Also, thank you for sharing............

That is fantastic. 5.00 you certainly cannot beat that and much better quality too. It only takes one time to be right and this was your year to prove DH wrong. WTG. Great savings ....thank you for sharing and all ready for next year.
