Fan mail: Saving $800 in one day!

We've had your book for about a
month or two now, after a friend
recommended
buying it. We liked what we saw,
and we thought it would be generally
helpful as
we progressed through this new chapter in our lives.
However,
with a due date of June, we hadn't
really had an opportunity to apply any of
your
advice. Well, that all changed this week. In fact, your book came
in
handy twice in a twenty-four hour
period.
First, we noted with interest,
that the Bassett outlet was not too far from
us
(p. 49 of your book) - we've lived in our current location for
roughly
seven years, but had no idea about this
place. Consequently, having
window-shopped for
many cribs at a variety of retail establishments,
we
decided to visit the outlet just to see how
they compared. We came home
with a convertible
crib that retailed at JC Penney for $499; our cost at
the
outlet, new and in the box, was
$157!
Next, we received an invitation to
a seminar for expecting parents. It
sounded
semi-interesting, and we were considering attending. We then
noted
it was sponsored by Babee Tenda. So
without missing a beat, we opened the
book to
p. 54 and realized that this seminar was not how we wanted to
spend
our time (or money). You figure with
travel time, listening time, and
the
possibility of an impulse purchase, we
probably saved a minimum of $500.
So
there you have it. Two incidents in a twenty-four hour period. We
used
your book and saved at least $800. That's
a pretty nice return on our
investment in your
product, and we haven't even gotten out of chapter
two
yet. Thanks a
bunch!!!

BTW, we also purchased Baby 411
