Here is a bit of wisdom someone laid on me once:
"If they give you a gift with your purchase.... you paid too much."

while shopping for a fridge a few years back, my wife insisted that we
at least check out the prices at ABC Warehouse, a local appliance
discounter. I don't like shopping there because of the high pressure
and general cheesiness (I like to say that I've never been with a
prosititute but I've shopped at ABC and it's probably a similar
experience), but it was a major purchase so we went. When we asked for
a price the salesman said, "Is that with or without the free trip?"

Yeah, maybe if I get my tax return I'll spend more, or if Jessie (fiancee)
wants to chip in some, but anyway, yes we're still on. Drop me an e-mail when
you know for sure :-)
