Gotta love the internet

So Dan and I couldn't decide (or agree upon) what Claire was going to be for Halloween. I was looking on the internet and found a cute costume that we both liked. I wanted to order it, but I HATE paying for shipping. So I googled One Step Ahead coupon code and found a code for 15% off your order. So I put it in, it worked, and I was happy to save some money, who isn't these days?

Yesterday I ordered a sweatshirt from LL Bean and gave good old Google another shot at coupon codes. Sure enough - a code for free shipping. Happy again!

And of course you know good things come in threes. We have had our eye on Puerto Rico flights for a while now. When I first looked they were $300 each and we didn't buy them. Of course the price kept going up, up, up so I set a fare alert so I would be notified every day the price was under $350 (thank you Kayak!) . I have been getting the E-mails randomly that the tickets were $350 or $330. Yesterday I said to Dan that we should just buy them at $330 and stop worrying about it. We didn't buy them last night and guess what was in my inbox this morning? The price dropped to $300. Dan, Andrea, Claire and I are now proud owners of 3 tickets to Puerto Rico (Claire is still a free lap child). And to make it even better, we got bumped last year and Andrea still had a $300 voucher left, so she is essentially flying for free.

This is why I love the internet :-)

How ridiculous and fun would that be? We would need to buy a LOT more beer!
