Playground Time!

Chris and I have been looking at playgrounds for a few months now. We had kind of decided on the huge one at Sam's Club before this weekend. Then Chris thought our yard really wasn't big enough for the giant swingset plus part of the yard is uneven so we were undecided again. Chris' mom called us last night and said that there was one partially out of the box playset at the entrance to the Jeff. Meijers and that it was marked down because of this. Being the bargain hunters that we are (Chris more than me :) we headed up there to check it out. Are you ready for this deal? Well all of the playgrounds were on sale for 25% off. Then, since this was partially out of the box it was marked down an additional 10%. Chris told me he was going to go "talk him down even more" since he knew they wanted to get rid of it. At this point I was embarrassed and took off for another section of the store!!! Needless to say, Chris offered the Meijer's manager $500 and the guy said ok! Who knew? So does this mean I should negotiate my frozen pizzas during my shopping trips?!?!? Nahhhh! Anyways, then he opened a Meijers credit card (which is so not like Chris but he was liking the deals) to get an additional 10% off. SOOOO, our $800 dollar playset ended up costing $450!!! How's that for a bargain? :) Here is a picture of it from the store....of course it will be many days and many hours before our one million pieces look like this, but all in all Braden will love it! Come over and play with us soon!
