That seems consistent from what I saw at other places.  However, you can see here it was now being advertised at $4.99.  Sounds almost too good to be true price wise huh?  There was a few available around my area as well.<\/p>\n<p>While I was about to just make the purchase, I have to step back of course and think, do I really need this?  Or, will I really use it?  Funny enough, I was looking for a mini pack like this.  But I never actually saw it in person so this would essentially e a blind purchase.  If this was like a $1000 laptop selling for $15 then that is a no brainer.  But these types of items are easy to buy only to then throw it in the closet as an example.<\/p>\n<p>So my compromise at the moment is since it says there are a few at mt local store I will go there to see how it is.  If I like it and it is the same price I will get it then.  That way, I am not just making an emotional purchase on something I don\u2019t need immediately as there will always be better deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw this item which looked to be on clearance as it was a small travel pack for electronic items where it seems the price is originally almost $70.
