Thank you to Dive Desirae for this post on her Extreme Savings blog this week. After reading this, I went to Toys R'Us and walked out with the last 2 Tony Hawk Shred Skateboard Bundles for Wii and XBox 360 for only $9.99 each. They were originally $40 each. Amazing!
Plus, I purchased the entire Band Hero Bundle for XBox 360 for $30, retail price $129.99
Then I followed Desirae's advise and headed over to Wal-mart, where they will price match the competition. I took the ad from Toys R' Us and my receipt for back up documentation, not that you need to bring that. We bought 2 DJ Hero 2 Turntable Bundles for XBox 360 (Walmart Retail: $59 each ) and 1 Guitar Hero for Wii (Walmart Retail: $80 ), ALL for under $30!
On top of that, I had 2 $10 Walmart gift cards that I received this week for purchasing any HP ink Combo Pack.
TOTAL PURCHASES TODAY:
2 Tony Hawk Bundles @ $9.99 ea (Retail $40 ea)
1 Band Hero Bundle @ $30 (Retail $129.99)
2 DJ Hero 2 Bundles @ $9.99 ea (Retail $59 ea)
1 Guitar Hero Bundle @ $9.99 ea (Retail $80)
- $20 Walmart Gift Card Rebates (HP ink combos)
TOTAL SPENT TODAY: $60 (Retail $410)
TOTAL SAVED TODAY: $350!
The beauty in this is that I am co-chairing our school's largest fundraiser again this year where half of the proceeds generally come from the auction. I will be able to donate the bulk of this to the auction without much money out of my pocket.

Here is Desirae's original post:
Yes you read that right $9.99!!!
(Either for Xbox 360, Wii or PS3-Valid in store only!)
There is no coupons needed, no special savings, no gift cards, and you don't have to purchase a thing!
Now these games range from $60 and up-That is a huge savings right there!
But guess what? My Toys R Us was out of them so you know what I did?
I headed over to Walmart and price matched them!
Now I know that Walmart has a no ad price match deal but to say yourself some stress I would take the ad with you because this is a huge-to-good-to-be-true deal!
Even if your Toys R Us is to far away the manager at Walmart can call the store to verify or even check out the ad on their website themselves!
