Score!

I'm always on the hunt for a good deal or bargain - especially when it comes to the kids toys and clothes. We have a great wagon that I bought used on Craigslist last year but only two of the kids can ride in it. (I'm still looking for the attachment though.)

One of my cyber buddies (thanks Lindy!) posted her remarks about her new wagon and that it could fit three kids! My search began online but the least expensive places were sold out. A trip to the local Toys R Us showed me just how popular these new wheels are. So instead I picked up this really cool water table that looks like a pirate ship. Sadly it wasn't on sale. But home it came.



Then voila! The following day I opened the Sunday paper and checked out the Toys R Us sales flyer. There was the water table for $20 less and the wagon was on sale at for $99. But wait - there's more! They had a special that if you purchased $150 of certain Little Tykes products (mine qualified) you could get a free picnic table! I called my local store and guess what! None. Nada. Zip.






Needless to say, multiple phone calls over several days and two additional trips to the store, I scored. I got the water table and the wagon on sale and got a free picnic table.

Okay... now I'm just jealous. I paid full price for the wagon and didn't get any bonus's! That's awesome though! Hope you enjoy it!
