What You Get for $50

Two weeks ago, I won $50 (to be used at the CSN Stores) from Mrs. M's blog!! 
It has taken me 2 weeks to figure out WHAT I WANT!!  These people have everything from bedding to shoes to toys ... but of course, I wanted the best value for my money as well as something we more "needed" than what we just "wanted" ... (they have the CUTEST baby shoes!!  but Miss MiMi's feet are so "fluffy" that she doesn't fit into most shoes.)

I'd log on to the CSN stores website and browse, and log off.  I just couldn't decide.  I looked at umbrella strollers and curtains and outdoor toys ... but just didn't feel like any of that was right.  Andrew's been wanting a desk - but we found out we could get one basically for free from somewhere else if we'd just go pick it up.  So, no desk.  I was just at a Pampered Chef party and realized I have every kitchen contraption I could ever want - and a few I don't ever use!!  I really need NOTHING in the kitchen either. 

So, finally, today I asked my husband if there was anything we "needed" for about $50 ... and he actually came up with a great idea (albeit boring!!).  We are getting ....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE .... a new DESK CHAIR.  It's practically the same one we have now - but we got it over 7 years ago at Walmart.  It has been ripped, the arms are loose, and the back bends way back from Dan leaning back on it too far.  If we get another 7 years use out of this new one, it will have only set us back less than $1.50 per year for the next 7 years ... (seeing how we're paying $9 over $50 for this chair!).  

The CSN stores offer FREE SHIPPING on a lot of their things (maybe on all of them?!).  I always appreciate that too. 

Most of all I appreciate the opportunity to win this $$$  - Thanks again, Mrs. M!!  :)
