The Trials of a Busy Mom

Sale? You call that a sale?

When I hear the word “Sale”, it gives me a little rush. Especially if I’m at Kohls. I really get off on a good bargain. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this, but in the past week I went to Albertsons 4 times to try to get the very best deals. After Melinda told me about printing your own coupons, I had to print a WHOLE bunch of coupons, organize them all so that I knew exactly how many of each item I needed to buy to get the absolute best deal. The problem was, the store kept being out of the things I needed to complete my coupon quest. They told me there would be a dairy shipment Tuesday morning, so I went Tuesday at 1:00. Nothing. Nothing that was on the sale list was left. Oh well. I tried. And I did get my 3 month supply of cereal, fruit rolls and popcorn. Anyway, I digress. When bargain hunters like me hear the word SALE, we expect it to be a sale! 20% off, 30% off, even 50% off are acceptable numbers. So when I see numbers like this, I say: 2%? Are you kidding me? That’s not a sale, that’s a….. a….. a joke! That’s what it is. You can’t qualify something as a “sale price” if it’s 2% off the original price. Ha! I laugh at you and your silly sale!

    What does free shipping BOTH WAYS mean? Silly sale at 2% and how many ways do you have to ship something to get to your house?

    If you’re a lover of sales… than wait until they complete the Hobby Lobby up in Layton. Everything in their store goes on a 50% sale at some point during the year. It is GREAT! It’s like a Michaels/JoAnns/Pier One on speed! They also have a 40% internet coupon for anything in the store… that you can print and use every day if you want. I really should become a spokesperson for that store!

    And, the Thanksgiving Mayflower is from the Jim Shore Heartwood Creek collections. Just google that and you should find it. I do remember seeing a lot of them at Gardners Village last year too.
