Sometimes purchasing thru the gym could be cheaper.
You just have to find the right person!
For water supplies, going thru our water aerobics instructor, she is also the head person at the pool. Thru certain websites, they give instructors, or trainers discounts, that they don't give to the public.
Sometimes the instructors, are really friendly, nice and budget conscious themselves and will order things for you to help you out, others won't!
For some places its a significant savings, others times its a volume which gets the discount.
So, if you look at the web site, see if pricing is lowered if you ordered multiples, and possible could see if the other cheer leading parents are looking to purchase a mat too, so you could bundle the order together!
Either approach can save you some cash!
