Crisis Averted

We did another shopping trip tonight and I was a total grouch. I was still stressed over what to get the boy. I found a cool robot toy at MicroCenter, but it was $250! That's a lot of money to chance he won't like it. I did return the Palm. By the time I got home I was convinced he needed a dirt bike - the other 'adult' in this house is pushing for a compound bow or a gun...um yea. I check the reviews on the Lego Mindstorm NXT when I got home and they looked ok. Right up the boy's alley and he's been asking for a robot for a while now. WELL..... thank you fat wallet for this sweet deal: a coupon code at Barnes & Noble for 25% off and with my membership I got another 10% off -- so I paid $177.02 AFTER tax! Sweet! That's only a few bucks more than the Palm and I know he'll love this. I couldn't be more thrilled.

Yes, free shipping.
