BRAND NEW

What a busy day I had! I swam at the health club, stopped at the grocery store to buy food for my dinner party on Saturday night, and went to Best Buy to purchase a new CD/tape player – I barely even had time to work on www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions. And I must say it was not only a busy day, it was a very productive one as well.

This is the third time in three and a half years that I’ve had to purchase a new CD/tape player. Luckily, when I bought the first one on sale, I decided to also purchase a replacement policy for $10. Since I saved about $10 on the reduced sale price, I had nothing to lose. And as it turned out, I had everything to gain. Within 12-15 months, because I use it excessively – 3 to 4 hours a day -- the player broke. I took it back to Best Buy and with no questions asked they let me return it for full price and buy a new one. What a deal !! Since the new one didn’t cost me anything, I again paid $10 for another replacement policy. Well here it is another year and a half later and the second one I bought broke. Of course, I went back to Best Buy, received the same great service, and purchased another replacement plan. Although like everything else, the price has increased and today I paid $15. But hey it’s still a great deal and no doubt I’ll use it once more within the next year or so.
