	Wins and losses in the shopping mall casino of life Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

One of the things about raising a family in the burbs is that discounts and specials and sales become very important. You won't see a "no junk mail" sticker on the letterbox of our house. We're always looking for something at the best price. Our current shopping list is:

. A lawn mower

. A BBQ

. A TV

. A Dining Suite

. A leather lounge suite.

We'll do without a. till we can afford to pay cash and b. we think we've got the best deal/price.

But this involves wins and losses. I hate it when you buy something and then find they knock the price down 40% the next weekend.

What are your big wins and losses?

I got my Sony television for 20% off because one flap on the top of the box was undone.
Woo-hoo!

No lie.
I jump in there with a response, all proud of myself and all, and the Horse is like, "Yeah, well. Screw you and the horse you rode in on".

I was especially proud of our haggling skills during our month in SE Asia, I reckon we were saving an average $50 a day on what we were spending - so that's about $1500 that we ploughed straight back in to living it up at nice hotels, restaurants and being able to go on really cool trips and expeditions and so forth...
