Anyone that knows us well, knows that we both LOVE finding deals. I think it actually be the Mingus side of me. Anyway I've been on the lookout for any deal I could find for our little bambino, so I thought I'd share my latest find!
I had done my research on breast pumps and had decided on the Medela Freestyle, however this pump is quite expensive at $380! We put it on our registry, but knowing that it was something that we would probably not receive. Kind of like that big screen TV Chris wanted to register for our wedding :) So I had been looking for deals on eBay and even Craigslist, but hadn't found anything of substantial savings. To my surprise Chris called on Tuesday morning to let me know that a member of his referral group (also expecting) read a blog about a deal at Super Target. Apparently the pump was 75% off, a nearly $300 savings! It only included Super Target, not a regular Target so you had to act fast. They had purchased theirs that way and encouraged Chris to see if it was still available.
Chris took the next 2 days diligently scouring Super Targets and regular Targets trying to locate a pump, but to no avail. In fact when we went to register he had already been in that particular store 6 times, he was worried they were on the look out for him. Ha! On a whim I decided to head to our local Target on Wednesday night to see if they had any in stock. Sure enough they did! So I bought it for full price (ouch), with the intention of taking it to a Super Target for a return & buy back. I was nervous this wouldn't work (Chris had already attempted at a different store), but for that kind of savings it was well worth another try! I'm happy to say I'm the proud owner of a new Medela Freestyle pump, one that only cost me $94! Now I just hope that I am able to use it! Gotta love deals! Call me cheap I don't care :)
Love,
Chris, Amber & Baby Z
