What a Deal!

As you may know, I'm not such a fan of shopping. I would love to just have one store 5 minutes from my house that has everything and has it always on sale (I mean really on sale, none of this on sale but still way expensive), as well as the perfect color, shape and size and always in stock. Unfortunately that store doesn't exist. But every once in awhile, maybe once a year, I'll find a deal. By find a deal I mean just stumble upon it. Since we moved into our house I've wanted a couch for our space off the kitchen. But couches are expensive and I can never justify it. That is until last week. As I was grocery shopping I often take a detour by the furniture hoping for something wonderful to happen. And it did! A couch was there with a blazing tag advertising the price of $179. I couldn't believe it. You can't even get a decent chair for that price let alone a couch. So later that evening we bought it. I was shocked it was even still there. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, it was just the last one of a discontinued model. Yea!!

It's the perfect size, color, and looks great! And hardly a dent in our pocketbook. My patience of a year and a half has paid off. Sometimes I get a little taste for what it's like for those bargain shoppers. That adrenaline rush you get when you find a fantastic product at an unbelievable price. But, it's not enough to convince me I like to shop. I just like to keep my eyes open for something to fall into my lap. And every once in awhile it happens.
