You call that a sale?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>When I hear the word &#8220;Sale&#8221;, it gives me a little rush.  Especially if I&#8217;m at Kohls.  I really get off on a good bargain.  I&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zappos.com\/n\/es\/d\/722000286\/sn\/1\/page\/1.html\">this<\/a>, I say:  2%?  Are you kidding me?  That&#8217;s not a sale, that&#8217;s a&#8230;.. a&#8230;.. a joke!  That&#8217;s what it is.  You can&#8217;t qualify something as a &#8220;sale price&#8221; if it&#8217;s 2% off the original price.  Ha!  I laugh at you and your silly sale!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I hear the word &#8220;Sale&#8221;, it gives me a little rush. Especially if I&#8217;m at Kohls.
