There’s a Stormtrooper in Our Closet
We bought a vacuum.
Finally!
For several years I have had my eye on a Miele. They are sleek, beautiful and powerful. But expensive. While we were visiting our parents last month, we fell in love with the Stankeys' new Dyson DC14 (I think that is the correct model). Having both grown up with canister vacuums we began looking at the Dyson DC23. Which, as usual, was quite out of our budget. Of course, being the brandnew coupon clipper that I have become, I decided to find a way to buy the best vacuum for our buck.
Here is how I did it:
Due to the incredible generosity of Robb's aunt and uncle, we found ourselves with a gift card from BestBuy. From there I discovered a 10% off coupon available every so often for BestBuy Reward Zone members (this is a completely free rewards program, similar to your Safeway Club Card or REI Co-Op Membership). Today I signed up and checked out their Featured Offers which included an offer on select Dyson Vacuums. Apparently this deal has been happening since earlier this year (according to a forum post at SlickDeals):
Own a Dyson today at almost half the price.
Exclusive to Best Buy rewards members.From the sleek, beautiful design to the bagless HEPA filter that traps 99.9% of dust mites, pollen and ragweed, Dyson makes carpet care look like glorified cleaning.
And now you have an exclusive Reward Zone program opportunity to clean up and save big. Act today and bring home one of these select Dyson vacuums:
* $220 off Dyson DC17 Animal with HEPA filter and pet-cleaning features. Regular price is $549.99. Reward Zone price is $329.99.
* $170 off Dyson DC25 Blueprint with Dyson ball control and HEPA filter. Regular price is $529.99. Reward Zone price is $359.99.
* $180 off Dyson DC17 All Floors with HEPA filter and Level 3 Root Cyclone technology. Regular price is $449.99. Reward Zone price is $269.99.
These exclusive offers are in-store only and require a coupon.
If you are in the market for a new vacuum, I suggest you head over to the Reward Zone and sign yourself up and promptly print out the coupon for one of these Dyson vacuums. This is exactly what we did this morning. We realized that if we wanted a Dyson at this price we couldn't get a canister, at least now. But after spending time testing out the Dyson Blueprint we realized that the vacuum was exactly what we wanted.
And we fell in love.
We left the store, vacuum in hand, $260 less in our bank account, but with a smile on our faces. (Jessie was skipping for joy).
Needless to say, we are very pleased with our new vacuum. And our house is much cleaner.
If you are wondering about the title of this post (“There’s a Stormtrooper in Our Closet”) it’s because many of the reviews for the product mention its likeness to a Stormtrooper. I’ll let you be the judge…
Also, right now at Dyson is giving away a Blueprint. Hurry and enter before 1 March!
