    Default frugal wii find

    Granted I have no idea if they have these at all the dollar tree stores. I was just in one that is near my house and for $4 I got 4 controller attachments for the Wii, 2 are the golf clubs and 2 are the baseball bats.

    Wow, that is definitely a find! Congratulations on it.

    Wow, a great deal.

    Have been debating if I want to go one so have been watching prices of all of it!

    The kids absolutely love the Wii. DH and I were toying with the idea of getting us a PS3 because the Wii is more designed for the kids.

    After seeing the cost of some of the things one needs for a Wii that is a good price!

    For us though a Wii isn't in the budget for us as we don't view it as a priority for us. Since we've got rid of all 6 credit cards, paid the car out and are Debt Free but the mortgage all luxuries (and I sorry but I consider a Wii to be a luxury) are on hold till that is done with - want to add as much as possible to get that Principal down. Once that's done we'll have so much discretionary money left over that we can buy as many Wii's and whatever else we want while still funding the Retirement Accounts!

    As Dave Ramsey says - Live like no one else now, so later you can really live like no one else!

    Dh wanted a ps3 for the same reason when I first suggested we get the wii. There are some adult games available, but not as many as playstation. Turned out not to be an issue as he is now addicted to tiger woods golf and mariokart.

    I totally understand that... but it is great for exercise & for a way to get the whole family to be active (& have family night)... it's much cheaper if you rent most of the games & then let family & friends know for Christmas & birthdays... what games you like, accessories etc... we got one for our family this yr (we budget Christmas $$$ every yr~ which has so helped) & found 1 at walmart for $200 & w/a $50 gift card thrown in if you got it during a certain time frame! We had budgeted for it, found the great deal, & used the $50 gift card for other Christmas gifts. Worked out great!!!
