this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

I recently purchased some Christmas gifts from Amazon.com. I've read on numerous blogs about their guarantee that if the price drops within 30 days after your purchase, you'll be refunded the difference. Recently I was able to test that out, and sure enough, $2.49 is coming back my way (Oddly enough, the same amount that Chief Family Officer is being credited - she also suggests using a firefox add-on to track the price of things you buy).

You have to check prices and request the refund yourself. Raising4boys.com has a great post with step by step instructions on how to do this.
