Here Wii Come
My company offers a wellness account. Basically you do certain tasks and receive money for doing them. Some stuff is quizzes or volunteering or tracking something like fruit and water intake. Basically you can earn up to $250.00 a year. My company will reimburse us for health related items. One of the things on the list is the Wii and Wii Fit. Since I just looked at it yesterday, I nonchalantly brought it up to my hubby (who works at the same place I do so we could get $500 total if we did everything). Since I met him, he’s been dead set on not having video games. He doesn’t want our kids (which are non-existant at this point) to be video gamers. But he surprised me last night and said sure. We normally buy shoes or clothing or weights or a treadmill, but we have all that stuff now. Since he said sure, I’m going to start looking for the right price. A free (essestianlly) Wii sounds like a good idea to me.

That is so cool! I think it’s always the same price, no matter where you buy it. The trick is, finding one in stock. I wound up getting mine from buy.com. I subscribe to their emails and I got an email saying they had them. If that happens, you have to head directly to their site and purchase it or they’ll be sold out. It’s crazy to me that almost 2 years after the introduction of the Wii, they are still this difficult to get.
Good luck! We sure do enjoy ours and I’m hoping to get my hands on the Wii Fit too.
