Ok, here's the deal. Most of the time, these "Thrifty Deals" are very HOT prices, and don't last long. They often cancel the deal or raise the price when they see unusual demand. In this case, they raised the price. It was $13.99 when I posted it this morning. Quite often these are snooze you lose deals. Since this one has already gone from a "Thrifty" deal to a modest discount, I'll try to find another bargain. For future reference, if the deal looks hot, pull the trigger immediately.
