ALWAYS Compare Prices
I haven't been blogging in the past couple of weeks because my husband broke my laptop screen. I purchased my first laptop in April and it has been one of the best investments ever. I love that I can blog anywhere in my home. With 2 small kids, going to my home office upstairs wasn't always convenient.
My husband was very upset when he accidentally broke it. He knew that I was going to be upset but it was an accident and accidents happen. I immediately called the retailer that I purchased the computer from to check the prices for repair. I then called the manufacturer directly for an estimate. Next, I called 2 local computer repair places for prices. I was shocked at the differences in quotes that I received. This is a perfect example for everyone to always compare prices.
Here is the quotes I received: (I will not mention any names)
Retailer - $600 to return and repair includes shipping
Manufacturer - $230 just to return and look at it
Local Computer Repair Store #1 - $130 for screen, $75 labor
Local Computer Repair Store #2 - $110 for screen, $65 labor - also includes 60 day warranty on repairs at no extra charge
Of course, I went with the last quote I received. If I had not compared prices, I would have probably purchased a new laptop.
Total Savings by Comparing Prices (using prices above) - $425
Save-a-Lot - $5 off $25 Coupon
Today's Favorite Coupon = FREE Simply Lemonade

Where Have I Been and More!
Wondering where I've been? My dear hubby broke my laptop and it took me over 2 weeks to get it repaired. Thankfully, I got it back Friday and I will be back to blogging soon. I never knew how much I would miss my laptop. With two small kids, it is so convenient to have a laptop. I missed everyone and I'll be back to sharing great deals and how I'm saving money soon.
Happy Labor Day!! I hope everyone has a great holiday.
