Have you ever "splurged" (read tax refund) on something that you really don't need but really want but know you're going to feel guilty on eventually?
So I clicked onto Woot the other day and they had Roombas for 100 bucks. Re manufactured (with warranty) but full kit (two walls, charger, back in charger, scheduler, et al) and only minor cosmetic problems. I bit.
Not only did I bite at that deal, I found out there's a thing called a Scooba. I found a great deal on that kit and grabbed it up. And this kids ends Bunny's adventure with her tax refund (well, I got a TON of groceries/supplies...we're stalked for the next war essentially).
I really thought I'd be feeling guilt by now but, I AM IN LOVE!! They both work better than I expected. Yeah I am having to run them a few times in the same area because our floors are horrid. I have to do that with the normal vacuum though. The scooba? I thought "Oh it will do a quaint little job and just have to go over it with a mop later". I've had to get two tight corners with my swiffer wet and that was it. Even the basement/mancave is looking nice and bright!
I don't mean to sound lazy. However while I can run these things, I have managed to get the rooms picked up, laundry/dishes done, stuff wiped down and meals cooked. The whole saving time so you can get more done feeling has me HOOKED!! Do you guys know of any other time saving "toys" out there?
Oh, and they're great cat toys too. ;)
