Need to get away?

It's been 17 months since we moved into our new house, and I've yet to locate my trusty corded drill. Our almost-new cordless drill died shortly after it was used to install our new microwave oven/hood, and I found out that replacement batteries and chargers cost nearly enough to justify buying myself a brand new drill. So, for the past couple of weeks, I've been scanning the sales flyers and comparison shopping at Home Depot, Sear's, etc hoping to find a good deal. Meanwhile, 17 months worth of projects are piled up around the house just waiting for a drill to magically fall out of the sky and into my hands.

Yesterday, I had to run to Wally World to pick up some yogurt, a loaf of bread, and some bath soap. While I was scampering across literally the entire building to get from the grocery section to the toiletries and back home within 20 minutes, I ran right past the hardware section and thought "why not?"

I skidded to a stop and ended up buying a Black & Decker 18v cordless drill that came with a storage case, 2 battery packs, and a set of drill bits for about $70.
Actually, it wasn't my 1st choice, but they'd run out of the corded model I would've preferred.

This morning, I decided to check reviews of my new drill before I cut open the package, and one of the sites I came across was an online offer from Black & Decker for a free Companion Airline Ticket voucher for purchasing this very drill at this very time. I found this offer very interesting indeed especially in light of the fact that it isn't mentioned anywhere on the drill's packaging. On top of that, the dril was given good reviews by other users so score one for me!

If you're in the market for a drill or some other power tool, check out B&D's offer site first to see if you, too, may qualify for a free airline ticket voucher. Sure, I could probably find this drill cheaper on eBay, but even paying full price from Wally World, I would still end up with at least a $50 savings on the airline ticket (which everyone knows I WILL use sooner rather than later). Happy Hunting!
