Great Deal!!

Don't you love when you get a great deal on an item you've been eyeing? I sure do!! Next week we are taking a trip to Tombstone, AZ to go and visit Mike's grandpa for the 4th of July and I don't want to take my bugaboo because it's kinda bulky and a little on the pricey side. I can just picture leaving the bugaboo outside and someone snagging it. This scenario has been playing over and over in my head so I decided to take action. I was on the hunt for a umbrella stroller and I found a used Maclaren on craigslist for $30, which sounded like a good deal to me. I emailed the person and was waiting for a response but got kinda inpatient (I had been waiting a total of 45 min.) so I decided to go to Babies R us and check out the stroller's there. To my surprise I found the Maclaren Volo stroller on Clearance
It was on clearance for $109 and then Babies r us was offering an extra 25% off. I kept going back and forth trying to figure out if I really wanted to spend $85 on it considering I had not heard back from the craigslist person. I then realized that it was the last stroller. So I decided to put it in my cart and take it home with me. I decided if I heard from the craigslist persona and the stroller was available I would return the stroller back to babies r us. So I get up to the register and I'm about to make my purchase when I remembered that I had stuffed a 20% coupon in my bag right before I left the house. I didn't think I was going to be able to use it because the stroller was already on sale but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask, so I did. And I was able to use my 20% off on top of the 25% that they were already offering. And on top of that I had my B.R.U reward points that I hadn't used and that was another $5 off. So I got a new stroller for $61. I had no problem spending another $30 more for a brand new stroller with warranty. I love when things like this happen. This purchase REALLY made my day!! The stroller really drives well for an umbrella stroller and I've heard that they last a long time. I'm so excited to have a lightweight strollers that I can use when I'm going somewhere that isn't very stroller friendly (small stores/aisles/restaurants,etc.)and on short vacations. We are all happy campers. Mila L-O-V-E's it, I love my thriftiness and Mike likes my smart purchase.....Way to go, Me!!!

She's 29

I seriously had the best birthday this year!!! Last Friday Mike took me out to Stone Creek Grille where we ate like royalty. Don't judge but we had two appetizers, we each had a huge steak and then we finished off our meal with two dessert. We were so stuffed but enjoyed every minute of it!! (Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of our fun dinner date)




When Saturday came we made our way over to California Adventure. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded at all considering it was Memorial Weekend. Disneyland on the other hand was CRAZY busy. So needless to say we hung out at CA Adventure. I've been there so many times and thought I have done it all but I was wrong. We went on some new rides and had tons of fun. By far my favorite ride was the HUGE ferris wheel. All in all, it was a great birthday and Memorial Weekend.


In line for Play House Disney
