HP pink plaid netbook:  $53.60 @ Future Shop (RSP:  $379.99)
Hello Kitty mouse:  $2.26 off Ebay

This was my birthday gift from my family-I waited about a month for this.  The netbook, not the mouse.

I'm not really fond of hello kitty, but I wanted a cute, pink, mouse.  This one was the cutest, and also the cheapest, hence my acquisition of it.  It actually ended up being way better than expected-lights up and everything!  

I bought the mouse myself in anticipation of receiving the netbook..had it a good two weeks before I actually received said netbook.

It had to be this one!  I love pink, and this is the prettiest netbook I've seen.  Bonus points for pink plaid, minus points for the shade discrepancy (it's really more purple on the cover, though the inside is a lovely, solid, pink).

Throughout the past two months, they ran through several promotions/price ranges-there were a few times where I almost took the plunge but bailed in the last minutes.  Each time, I decided to wait until a better deal came around.

Well, it finally came!  I checked out Best Buy's website on a whim one day, and noticed it was finally on sale for $299.99!

Naturally, I assumed that Future Shop would follow suite since they are owned by the same company.  Sadly (or so I thought) that wasn't the case.

Long story short, I ended up getting a price match, plus another eight bucks off due to their lowest price guarantee.

With the gift card my mom redeemed from her credit card (which was free), and another free $25 visa gift card, the total ended up being a whopping $53.60 out of pocket.  Totally unimaginable, incredibly delirium inducing.
