Christmas Came Early This Year!!!

[Snow In Summer]

This morning I woke up very early as I was on a mission to buy myself a much needed Christmas gift. To my utter dismay I realized latter that I wasn’t the only one with the same idea. I drove to my local shopping mall, parked the car and starting walking casually towards the entrance of the Bay, minutes before the stores opened. I was shocked as people were already there waiting. As I approached a grumpy man in line asked me “Are you’re here for the Dyson?" Quietly I answered “Yes I am." He replied “Well your number 29 in line as we have been waiting here for an hour and we were here before you." I giggle and just knew this was going to be interesting! Two minutes later an employee from the Bay came to the door, unlocked it and says “For the people who are here for the Dyson, please go to the appliance department in which you will get a ticket with a number on it. We only have 100 in stock and it is first come first serve. You cannot buy one without a numbered ticket.” The doors opened, I let everyone go in and then I casually stroll in myself. I look to the right, I look to the left, then straight ahead ... I was in complete shock from what I was seeing!!! There were swarms of people from 3 other entrances running to the appliance department!!! Never in a million years would you EVER catch me running to buy something (but) then my subconscious voice yelled out at me “RUN IT’S A GREAT DEAL!!!” So joined the masses and I ran. I got to the appliance department huffing and puffing and held out my shaking hand, I was number 42!!! YES!!! As my number was called I walked to the cash, paid for the item and then was escorted to the back of the store in which I had to present my receipt again to finally be handed my purchase. As I carried a HUGE box out to my car I was giggling like a school kid behind it and I had a grin on my face from ear to ear. I am still SO excited as I bought a Dyson DC23 vacuum, which sold out within 2 minutes. Regular price $599.99 on sale for $379.99 savings whopping $220.00 … and yes I ran!!! lol Merry Christmas To:Me From:Me!!!

I will never give up my Dyson. IT IS AMAZING! No wonder there were people running to get one.

Jelly! Great score for you!

[couponmummy]

Did you get 1,000,000 HBC points?

[FrugalMe]

Great story!! You were at the right place at the right time.

Makes me glad I have hardwood floors for the most part! Good for you, I've heard those are great especially if you have pets.

For my hard floors I have a Roomba, which was my vacuum splurge. It's ideal for our purposes, sweeps up all the dust, although it hasn't been charging well lately.

I would have ran too... congratulations on a GREAT DEAL ... saw the ad but I am waiting for a different model of Dyson to be on sale .... hopefully one day

This day just keeps getting better and better!!! I just got back from SDM and did two redemptions for $330.00 worth of free Christmas gifts for my extended family. My Christmas shopping done, I have clean carpets, I saved $550.00 and now I plan on celebrating with a glass of wine. I'M so happy right now ...

No the Dyson's were excluded from the 10% off for Friends and Family deal but I did earn 18950 HBC points which puts me over the level for a $10.00 redemption. haha
