Not enough?

We're back from our shopping expedition. And the first thing I see in the news is the 'fact' that we didn't do as well as we could have in our role as customers. Retailers are worried! Well, this 'wallet warrior' is all through fighting the good fight for the retailers. We did what we could today and if that's not enough...call me next year.

We did get our vacuum cleaner. It's an Infinity, by Shark. Or vice versa. And it has been tried. We just ran one tank full of dirt through it. Unfortunately, that part was too easy. The real test will be in a few days when I vacuum the same bit of carpet again. And I do like the easy dumping feature as well as the 2 miles of power cord that's included with it.

And how much did we pay for it? Well, it was on sale at Linen's and Thing's for $199, regularly $249. Had a 20% off coupon and so we bagged it for $171, tax included. And the clerk gave us an unsolicited testimonial about its quality. Her parents bought one and they have 5 dogs and they love it. (5 dogs? Are they crazy?)
