Bargain hunter

This week I have had fortune smile on me big time. It started off small, then grew in exponential leaps. Here's how it worked-

  • Saturday - paid 50 cents for a dozen donuts (regularly $4.99 I think) included in grocery shopping, cashier error I didn't notice until I got home.
  • Yesterday - paid $33 for $65 worth of baby things at Toys R Us, another cashier error I didn't notice until I got home since I was using store coupons.
  • Today - approved to get a 5.125% 15-year refi instead of current 6.25% 30-year mortgage. Savings - well over $100K worth of interest payments.


  • We have no plans to sell for many years, our house & property location have just about everything we want and the amount of equity we already have is staggering. I was in the same house from conception until I left for the dorms at college, the same may very easily be true for Kieran.

    Life is good!

    congrats!!!

    What a great deal on the house! We are with you. Our parents are both still in the houses we grew up in. We are breaking the trend in our area and won't be "moving on up" to a bigger house every 3-5 years. That is such an incredible rate and the savings is tremendous doing a 15 yr loan!! Great investagating.
