Target comes thru on my new vacuum - take that Walmart shoppers!

Having now a dog and a cat it's no secret that the pet hair in my house is out of control.  I've been wanting a new vacuum but knew it wasn't in the budget so I just made due with what I had.  Fast forward to Sunday.

Target has the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser on sale for $149.99 and you get a $25 gift card.  Hmm I do love the Target gift cards but don't have 150 to spare.  So I continue looking thru the news paper and there in the coupons is a $20 rebate on the vacuum.  Hmm again that would make $105.  Not bad but I still don't need it, however I just keep thinking how nice it would be.   Mail comes Wednesday - $10 off a $100 purchase at Target, that would make it $95.  Now we are getting closer to my budget.  So I get the "What if's".  What if I sign up for the credit card - I'll get 10%.  I also have that $25 I just got from Gather, the $5 I got from the Consignment shop and before I knew it I talked myself into it.  I just had to present it to my husband, when I did the math he agreed to let me have it.

Man does this thing suck - in the good way!  Each room almost fills the container - yes it's been a couple weeks (Vacation and being sick) since I last vacuumed but this is outrageous.   I am impressed, it's a bit heavy but I'll get used to it.

So here is the math.

$150 - gonna round up a penny.

$25 gift card from Target

$25 from Gather

$20 Rebate from Bissell

$5 from Consignment shop

$10 from a Diaper study I am completing.

$13 from signing up for the Target Credit Card

$10 off $100 at Target

For a total of $42 - now that is in my budget.  :0)

** And because I hate Walmart - Walmart has the save vacuum for $142.49 - With the above that could be applied to walmart I would have paid - $82.49 - another way I saved $40 by not shopping at Walmart. **

Here is a picture of my vacuum.  :0)

Look for a review once  have used all the attachments.  So far I really like it.
