My boxing day deals

[Colsgirl]

I was very disciplined, i could have spent a fortune if I had been in the right frame of mind:

Futureshop:
Door crasher - computer $199

Walmart:
2 x Perfect 10 $10 each, $3 each after coupons (also had a free full size Pantene expressions shampoo attached to ach box)
16 x scrubbing bubbles $3 each - free after coupon (I ended up making about 10 trips to and from my car to get these)

Did you have to pay taxes with the scrubbing bubbles. Hope there is some left when I go tomorrow or the next day.

Yes, I did have to pay tax. It isn't a FPC it is a $3 off, so I didn't think I would have a leg to stand on if I argued about the tax. Plus they gave me loads of hassle in Walmart anyway.

But it came to just over $10 for everything I bought in Walmart after tax, so I didn't think hat was bad ($6 + tax of that was hair dye).

What kind of computer?

What kind of computer?

Off the top of my head I can't tell you. I will grab the spec off my husband later and add it to this post.

I now refuse to pay a lot of money for computers as unless you spend a fortune on the extended warranty, they always break down.

We bought 2 good laptops (about $2000 each) 3 years ago and they were both stolen when someone broke into out house. We replaced my husbands with a desktop ($1600) and it started playing up 2 months outside of the warranty. Bought me a new all singing laptop, all the USB ports stopped working 4 months outside the warranty ($2000 for a computer and in 16 months it needs $700 worth of repairs as the problem is with the motherboard and not the settings etc). Bought the kids a computer - they are young, so a cheap and cheerful $300 plus tax one and it is still going strong!

We basically only use the computer for Word Processing, surfing the net and e-mail. So although our previous computers has all the bells and whistles, we never actually used any of the features we paid extra for. I finally came to my senses and spoke to my husband about it and he agreed - so now we don't buy the expensive ones.

So the latest computer cost a whopping $199!!!

[alexsmommy1228]

nice! I will have to look and see if I have $3 Scrubbing bubbles coupons, I only had $2 ones.

[seapotato]

i only got 1 scrubbing bubbles today, too afraid of getting my coupon rejected LOL. if i have time and i dont get snowed in, i'll go pick some more up later this week. did you notice walmart seemed to have MAJORLY stocked up on all the stuff they advertised? like HUGE amounts of scrubbing bubbles, fleecy fabric softener, royale tp etc. i guess they want to lure you there, letting you think there are limited quantities when there is in fact a zillion of everything! haha!

the royale was advertised for $7.xx but was selling for $9.xx at my walmart!! did anyone notice this at your walmart?

Completely agree. I don't even know how to use the "extra" features on my laptop. Word, Excel, simple internet surfing and email. I don't even watch movies or download songs or video.

Plus any time I feel tempted to get a new gadget with all the new bells and whistles, I only have to remind myself of the digital camera I never use, the external hard drive that I never use, the USB/memory cards I never use, the mp3 player I never use, etc...

hey nif you don't use these things why don't you sell them? Probably make some exra cash especially the external hard drive everyone needs this!!!!
