FREE is GOOD!

March 5th, 2008 at 04:39 am

Today we had 7 inches of snow in 3 hours. Cool! Helped to make today a no spend day! Better yet, the mailman brought me a free Senseo coffee maker that I could return to Walmart for around $63.00! And for lunch DH used a free coupon for a burrito at a local mexican joint. Free is fun!

The girls and I hunkered down to watch the snow fall. I made us some cookies and some yummy chicken chili for dinner! I do hope they go back to school tomorrow! Smile

    Wait, how'd you get a free Senseo? Was it the giveaway they're doing? Then you're taking it back to Walmart for a refund?

    Yes, I got it from the senseo company. You have to pay shipping, which was $15. Rather a rip off. I took it out of the box and checked it out, checked out the price of the pods and figured up that it would not be a thrifty appliance for our home. So... yes, I thought about taking it back, but unfortunately, even though they list it on the Walmart website for $62.47, it is no longer in the stores because they could'nt sell them. The lady said they clearanced them out for next to nothing. Plus they blacked out the bar code on the bottom. So, maybe the garage sale? I can't think of anyone in the family that would use it. I have just been using instant coffee. DH makes a pot of regular everyday, but I am a decaf girl. Maybe I could donate it for a giveaway for a charity? Hmmmmm.....

    Even though I have problems with Walmart's business practices and avoid shopping there personally, I have ethical problems with taking it back to Walmart for $62.47 when you got it for $15 from Senseo. (Then again, it would be sweet revenge if only they hadn't stopped carrying it....)

    I wonder if you can sell it on eBay? Better yet, if your kids' school has a fund-raising auction, give it to them to sell.
