New tools!

My husband loves perusing the Internet. He always knows about the funny links or top news before me because of this habit. Today it actually paid off when we got this bad boy on the cheap. Betcha can't guess how much it was.

This Black & Decker 3 tool 18-volt cordless combo kit cost us a whopping (drum roll please)

$4.62!

Yep. I am no longer annoyed more accepting that my husband is an Internet junkie.

How did we get such a hidden treasure? Why our new favorite online shopping site www.quibids.com. This site has a list of items all up for bid. Things range from TVs, cameras, tools, to gift cards at restaurants and stores. In order to bid for an item you have to have an account. Each bid is $0.60. Without going into a lot more detail (there's a lot more detail on the site), Trevor put in about 10 bids, or about $6, and we won the tool kit for that plus our $4.62! Add in shipping and we have ourselves a toolkit for less than $20!

Now the quibids site said that the value of the kit was actually about $99. However, upon searching the Internet we found it for less than $40 at Lowe's. While it isn't as great a deal as the site made it seem. It was still worth the effort.

It looks like I will need to make a list of projects to be completed with the aforementioned tool kit once it arrives. He he he. :)
