Just Picked Up My $11 AC from Walmart (a $463 Value!)

So you guys must remember the General Electric AC for ONLY $11.87 Shipped to Store! post from 4/11/12, right? Lucky me, my AC shipped and I picked it up at Walmart yesterday. This darn thing was so heavy, I couldn’t even fit it in my car. Had to call my pops to help. Can y’all believe I just saved a whopping 97% on a Home AC? I’m just going to say it… this has been the best deal of the year thus far! I’m still waiting on word for my Dehumidifier as it has not been shipped nor cancelled. Hopefully there are more to come! 😉

Were you able to get one too? Let us know!
