The New Purchase that Made an Old Lady Smile

January 21, 2007 by One Frugal Girl 1 Comment

This afternoon my husband and I purchased a 40 inch LCD TV. After a couple of rebates, the cost of the TV, installation, and mounting devices came to a little over $2000.

My husband and I delivered the TV to my grandmother who was as giddy as a school girl. In thirty years, I’m not certain I’ve ever seen that kind of excitement in my grandmother’s eyes. My grandmother promptly wrote us a check for the TV and the Best Buy folks will arrive in a few weeks to mount it.

I’m thankful for my husband, who put forth the effort to purchase the TV that made an old lady so happy.
