Without telling you the places I've looked to purchase Letter Works 2.0 & a 4x4 hoop, I can tell you this, it pays to shop around! Even if you think the first store is doing all they can to give you a deal. After shopping around, I found the best deal in one place. The software was $90 cheaper and the hoop was $40 cheaper than the highest quote I got. Yes, this place is a ligit place. That goes to show you how much mark-up there is!

FYI: THIS IS MY 100th POST!!!!!!!:D I thought it was my 99th!

I agree! I am a firm believer in shopping around even though I love my local sewing/embroidery store.

Congrats on your 100th post.

Thanks for the tip on shopping around. I noticed you did not want to divulge where you shopped and who had the lowest....


Could you tell me was it online? or in person (brick and mortar)

I find I can usually get a better deal on the net than anywhere else unless I just luck out on a good deal. My Hubby and I shop the net 90% of the time now. :driver: It saves on fuel, aggrevation,impulse buys, and a lot of drive time, so if it is a little bit more we still break even in the long run.:dancing:

Sometimes I think it's a hassle to shop around until I am reminded how valuable it can be by "hitting the jackpot."

congrats on the 100th post and for shopping around. I figure if I save even $5.00, that's $5.00 more to spend on other supplies. Pay less Get more.:D
