Welcome to my first edition of Frugal Friday! I am so excited to share what I got! It is something that I’ve wanted for probably over a year, but didn't really start researching until October. It is a heart rate monitor!! And let me tell you, I STALKED the UPS tracker online until it arrived yesterday. That’s how excited I am about this thing!
I had pretty much decided on a Polar F6
when I was researching it back in October. Then someone on MyFitnessPal mentioned that there were lots of people raving about the Polar FT7
. I had pretty much decided on it, but then another person told me about the Polar FT40
special they received. Needless to say, I was going in circles with reading all the reviews on Amazon, comparing the prices, trying to figure out what was different and what each one did. I stumbled across a nifty chart (here scroll to the bottom) which described the aspects of each watch. The main thing I wanted was to be able to know how many calories I had burned in a workout so that I could accurately put those calories into MFP (myfitnesspal). All three of these do this, but the plus with the Polar FT40 was that I could change out my own battery and not have to send it to a polar authorized battery changer. Haha!

Haha!So, I settled on the Polar FT40 in lime green. I love the color green and it just helped that Heart Rate Monitors USA had it at a closeout price! Not sure if they still have them but they have free shipping and I used a code that I found at RetailMeNot to save 5% off.
Here is the breakdown:
Retail price: 159.95
Close-out price: 109.95
Coupon code savings: 5.50
Final total 104.45
I saved a total of $55.50! And that my friends….makes for a happy woman!
I'm in LOVE with this thing! It is amazing!
That is awesome!
