Great Birthday gift

DH went through my coupon binder and found my Best Buy Rewards certificate coupons and took them(We get them via email for using our Rewards card when we go to Best Buy). He got me a Nook Ereader by Barnes and Noble, at Best Buy. He went to our grocery bought gift cards-so we get gas perks, used my coupons to by the ereader. I've got to give him some couponing credit-he checked the Barnes and Noble store to see if we could use our member discount on the unit-since the answer was no he purchased it at Best Buy because we can get rewards points towards more $5 or $10 off coupons. I was quite surprised and very pleased when he told me his money savings methods. :) He's learning. I am a big reader and this is the best gift he could have gotten me(he wants me to stop buying books til we move or part with some of mine). I don't want to part with any, I have donated many to the local library that I do not read anymore but not the ones I want to keep. Great compromise-it makes my traveling so much easier (I used to take 3-5 books whenever I went somewhere because I didn't know how my mood would be). Battery life is great too. I played with it on our whole ride home to my parents house last night. Most of the classics I love to read are free as ebooks because they are considered public domain. :) I love FREE. I'm out of town to celebrate my birthday and mother's day with my mom. It's cold here but it's great to be with family! Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there!

  3. Thank you Pubbler! And Thanks Precious! I was very surprised with such a great gift. We're taking a trip to Washington DC this coming weekend so I wasn't expecting any gift. I'm just thrilled he made the effort to use coupons, discounts and get the best deal he could on the gift he chose. He's crossing to the frugal side :)
