Grrrr, I need a cheap Keruig

[happily single]

So as I am literally walking out of Toys R Us with my last gift my son's therapy worker texts me that since I got my son a Keruig she wants one now too!! Problem is since I bought his ($79 at Target with a $20 gc) I stopped watching for deals on them.

Anyone see any deals lately??

Please tell me you're kidding? You're taking last minute gift orders for something like that?

If you sign up for Bed Bath and Beyond emailings, you'll get a 20% off one item code. I bought DH's Mr. Coffee single coffee brewer there -- would save you about $16.

Unless the worker is a REALLY close friend, though, I'm not sure I'd bother.

Kohls is running a sale right now and if you have their CC you get an additional % off.

I just saw the elite (B40) at stop & Shop for $90. Not sure you'll get better at this point.

ETA: by "just" I mean like two hours ago. Their sales end thursdays so you'd have to call today and get it - price would probably go up tomorrow.

Don't know if you have Shoprite Grocery stores where you are, but ours had them for around $89 when I was there yesterday.

Why are you buying this for her? This is a really expensive gift for someone who is not in your family - very strange.

I got my DS's speech therapist a $25 Starbuck gift card & a home made card from DS. But what bugs me is not the expense, your money, you do whatever you want.

But did I read your post correctly that she texted you & asked you for a Keurig ? That seems a little forward to me.

Maybe you guys are really close friends as well so she feels like she can ask for this or you've both set a precedent for extra nice gifts

Anyway, I saw one a set at BJ's for $127 that comes with the filter, machine & 24 coffee samples. Seems like a good deal. Good luck, don't mean to give you a hard time

If you already bought her a gift, I would just go with that and ignore the Keurig request. I honestly don't think I'd have the nerve to request a specific gift from someone, especially so close to Christmas!

Just a thought Maybe she is just helping the woman find one at a decent price? Or maybe the therapist is willing to pay her back?

Christmas is about giving her decision if she want to give her one

I don't understand your post. Did she ask you to buy her a Kuerig two days before Christmas or ask you to help her find a good deal on one for herself?

I didn't quite understand it either. I saw some good deals before, but you're down to the wire now. Kohl's has the $10 for every $50 spent thing going on right now.

I think the OP will just text the social worker back with the best deal

 

[labdogs42]

When Kohl's has 30% off, that's usually a good deal.

There is no such such thing as a cheap Keurig!

This ! I didn't understand if OP meant that the therapist was asking her where to find a good deal or asking her to buy her a Keurig 2 days before Christmas. 2 different scenarios with lots of possible answers

JCPenneys has the Mr. Coffee Keurig for $59. I saw the sign today when we were in the store.

We got my husband's Keurig at Goodwill for $12. Never say never! Granted, now I can't bring myself to pay full price for a second one for him to keep at work. But I'm watching Goodwill like a hawk!

You found one at the Goodwill! AWESOME!!

 

[QVCshopper]

I also got one at the Goodwill. Mine was $25, a return from Target b/c they salvage their stuff to Goodwill. Not that it helps the OP...

As far as a cheap mini platinum Keurig, QVC.com has one As Is listed for $67.21; Item K155049, with My K-Cup. I think that's pretty good.

Thanks for all the replies.
Just wanted to clarify the situtation. My son's therapist has been absolutely wonderful with him; taking him overnight, helping with the other kids, etc. We think of her as family. She DID NOT ask me to get her a Keruig, but mentioned that she thinks she wants one now. That's what Christmas is about, buying things for people who want them, hopefully with a small element of surprise.
