Brag of the Week #2 (Guest Brag)

Eric S. of Aurora, Colorado was inspired by the other Guest Brag that I posted last night, and decided to submit one of his own. He took full advantage of the propane deal I posted here.  He writes:

Dear Cheapskate,

I just want to thank you for your excellent post about the propane savings.  My wife and I had a barbecue last week and we used up our propane tank.  Today, I took it in to Home Depot for a swap.  The price for a propane swap is $17.82 plus $0.06 tax, or $17.88.  That is what I would have paid if I hadn't read your blog.   I would have paid it and not thought twice about it, because that's what I pay every year, and the price is the same everywhere.

But I DID read your blog, and so on Friday, when I was in the Post Office, I asked for a few change of address kits, like you told me to.  I took the Lowe's 10% off coupon out of one kit.  I also downloaded the $3 Amerigas coupon, like you told me to in the propane post.  Look at my receipt.  I paid $13.10 for a $17.88 propane swap.  But I'm not done. Today, I filled out the rebate form and will expect to get another $5 back from my purchase, bringing my price on that propane swap down to $8.10.  I showed my wife and told her she better start reading your blog too, because that was just too easy.  I'm going to take the ten bucks I saved on the propane and buy my wife lunch, so she'll realize the rewards of being a Cheapskate.  Thank you for your most excellent blog.

Most Sincerely Yours,

Eric S.

Eric S., you seriously made my day.  You saved 65% on your propane swapout with virtually no effort, but more importantly, you bought your wife lunch with the savings (Joshua, are you reading this?).  That's a stupendous brag.  You're my hero.
