Dyson…Need I say more

Our giveaway ends tomorrow! Go enter!

 When Mr. J & I got married we splurged on a $50 vacuum from Target. Ok, so we didn’t splurge and we had a gift card that needed to be used and I chose the cheapest vacuum. I saw all of the Dyson vacuums and {sighed} hopefully one day! I was new to wivelyhood so I thought our home would magically stay clean. In our defense our first apartment was all wood, our second had super short carpet and our apartment in San Francisco was as big as my pinky finger so our vacuum worked fine for the time we needed it. Well, our new place is all carpet. Cheap carpet that you tip toe on and it leaves a mark, but I’m sure you get the impression that we move a lot so this hasn’t been the place for us to buy. In addition to wanting a nice vacuum for cleaning purposes, our son had asthma in San Francisco. Recently my husband said and I quote, “Next time we move, we will definitely get a better vacuum.” We didn’t have to move, the great deal came to me! I’m into couponing and get emails about great deals every day from Pinching Your Pennies. One came saying DYSON in the header and I knew I was a goner. One of the many great things about Pinching Your Pennies is they lay out the whole scenario for you. The deal was at Kohl’s and you needed a Kohl’s card to get an extra 30% off…We don’t really do store credit cards. My husband works in finance {period} so I got all the numbers together and presented my case. A $449 vacuum on a great sale PLUS another 30% off for having the card bringing it to $223 PLUS Kohl’s cash. I presented it well, he said yes, and I got the LAST Dyson at the store. I have had many great shopping trips at Kohl’s since. I saved that receipt and my total was $244.82 {saved $226} AND I received $40 Kohl’s cash! Woo woo! My Dyson was well worth the wait! I love vacuuming with it and for the record, I haven’t seen a deal on this vacuum since that has been better than this!
