On
Sunday, after much shopping around locally and online I purchased a 40"
LED HDTV for our "new home".
We have been wanting one forever and since our old TV died quite some
time ago I decided to go ahead and get one after we moved out of the RV,
whenever that might be. I found a Sanyo brand
at Walmart that had the quality of picture I wanted and the best price I'd seen
so far. It was only $248! I was thrilled, needless to say. I had budgeted $400 for a new television so
that left more than enough for the Roku we also wanted.
I
got the best price at Amazon on a Roku Streaming Stick which is what our new TV
is designed to work with for $44.99. Now
we can enjoy all our free online TV viewing that we had been with our laptop in
the RV and I am free to write blog posts and work on my book while the TV is on
for the girls. J
I
worked overtime all week and earned extra $$ to put toward my living room
furniture which I purchased using my PayPal account which gave me a six months
same as cash offer. I have the money set
aside to pay this off before the six months are up but I thought I'd put my
overtime earnings towards it and keep my cash in my savings account in the
meantime.
A
friend of mine picked me up a case of Kirkland brand toilet paper at Costco for
$14.99. Amazingly we are just now
finishing up the last case he picked up for me in January. I am impressed that its lasted us as long as
it has.
I
did not do any grocery shopping this week.
How
was your thrifty week last week?
Nice TV! Great deal! What a nice 'coming home' present for you and the girls. :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to stay out of the grocery stores unless I absolutely need something. But I find myself really jumping all over sales on meat lately- I've seen some super-good deals and try to take advantage of them when I am able to. I got a total of 6 whole chickens last week (78¢/lb.) and already roasted 2 of them, froze 4 of them for later on in the season. We had the 2 that I made for dinner and then whatever meat was left on them I deboned and used for chicken salad, chicken corn noodle soup, chicken enchiladas.... pretty soon we are all going to be walking around clucking and shedding feathers. ;)
I also gratefully accepted some more tomatoes from our neighbor who had an abundance this year and offered us the last of his lot. I am thinking of trying out a Taste of Home recipe for Tomato Dill Bread, which I read tastes great for making sandwiches.
I had never heard of Roku until a few days ago when a friend of mine told me about it. She got the same exact one you did at Walmart and highly recommended it to us. I am thinking about getting the same one.
Great deals on the chicken and such luck getting those tomatoes. We are loving our Roku so far. I think it is worth the money. I got mine on Amazon with free shipping.
DeleteGood deal!! Enjoy it! :) You work so hard, well deserved!
ReplyDeleteIt was a totally guilt free purchase! :) I am so very much enjoying it too.
