Our VCR went on the fritz, but it’s old, and we figured it didn’t owe us anything. We decided it was time to buy a DVD/VCR combo, so we could get new movies on disc and still enjoy our tape collection.
So…Mrs. Dave-Guy had been given two gift certificates from her class, good for any store in a mall nearby. Total - $100.
Then, my parents had given us $40 for our anniversary, to have dinner out on them. Well, we put that with the gift certificates.
And Mrs. Dave-Guy submitted her receipts for stuff she had bought for her classroom. She got $20 back.
Not bad…$160 squirreled away.
Well, the one we bought cost a total of $215 and change all told. Then we were told there was a $50 rebate offer, and that day happened to be the last day of the offer!
Our new DVD/VCR cost us $5 out of pocket.
Any stories of serendipity you’d like to share?
