Okay.

I promised the preteen that I would replace my piece of crap rebounder this year. Since the Urban Rebounder got good reviews from Consumer Reports and it’s the only decent rebounder that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and is available in the States I figured I’d order one ffrom Amazon.

Monday I was at Kohls, searching for a pair of shoes for a wedding, when I found the Urban Rebounder for $8 more than Amazon. However it came with a DVD with 6 workouts, instead of the 3 that came with the one on Amazon. So, after spending the night contemplating I decided to go back, yesterday, to snag one. The price is now the same as Amazon’s. Woot!

I can’t say how durable it is but it looks to be at least as good a quality as the rebounder it’s replacing. If the preteen and I can get at least a year’s use out of it I will be happy. And the bounce is so much gentler! My knees love it!

Fast forward to today. Iwent online to order my new aquarium light. When I had checked last week the price was $269. Which isn’t bad, for what it is. But then I remembered that I need to get the mounting brackets and new glass tops to replace the current hood set up. Combined with the S&H, I was figuring over $300.

Anyway. I went to place my order and discovered that the lights are on sale. 40% off!. Double woot! So, for less than the price of just the tank light I got the light, the mounting brackets, the glass tops, a 12 pack of filter cartridges, a quart of bio-filter balls, 3 jars of fish food (and a partridge in a pear tree!) and covered the S&H.

Now all I need is for the mechanic to tell me that the Taurus’ transmission only needs some minor (read: cheap) adjustments and my happiness will be off the charts.
