I failed Will Save #15 or so…

But I had a pretty good streak!

My inner bargain hunter is doing the touchdown dance tonight… Dell was running a special 24 hour deal that took $602 off of the purchase price of their new Inspiron E1505. I customized the system and was about to buy it with smaller specs, when I realized that I should probably try the Employee Purchase Program to see if I can get my discount to stack.

Usually it doesn’t, but it was worth a shot. That shot hit right between the eyes, the deal did stack with the employee discount. I ended up walking out with over $800 off of this system.

I got a Core Duo 2.0 Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, an Ultrasharp 15.4″ display, and 256 ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics. This thing is everything I’ve been wanting at bargain basement pricing… I really couldn’t pass it up.

Interestingly, I wasn’t going to do it. Tasha about made me turn the car around and order the machine when I told her I was ignoring the urge to purchase at $602 off. I waited until later and was happy to find the EPP discount worked as well, so we’re both extremely happy.

This is what the rest of my incentive pay will get spent on. And our debt repayment plan is barely impacted thanks to Uncle Sam hanging on to my cash all of last year. 🙂

I love it when circumstances come together!
