Waiting can really save $$

[EvanMaddieMouse]

So there were these turquoisey ceramic lamps at Target that I have been eyeing and coveting for quite some time. When I first saw them, they were $59.99 each and as much as I loved them, I just couldn't pay that.

A few weeks later, "my" lamps were marked down, to $45.99. Cheaper, yes, but still more than I wanted to pay. I made the decision that if they were meant to be mine, then they would wait for me until they got marked down far enough.

Last night, I went back to Target to get hair conditioner for DD (a last-minute rush thing, went to shower her and discovered there was no conditioner, and she has waist-length hair so we needed it). I decided to mosey by the housewares aisle (it had been several weeks since I last went to that particular Target) and lo and behold, there were MY lamps, marked down to $14.99 each!

It pays to be patient!

Yeah my kids know all about that kind of patience. They stopped asking for full price stuff a long time ago because I will say wait until it's marked down. My DD has a recurring dream(the one where you are naked)that takes place in the mall, but I won't buy her anything because we can't find anything on sale! I guess with all that money I'm saving I can get her some therapy.

I bet those are the same lamps I wanted! I saw them while on vacation in VA and also wouldn't pay $59.99 for them. I figured my store would have them when I got back and I would just wait until they went on clearance. Well, none of the stores near me ever got them! That is a great price!

very nice 1 They ahve been having some great deals. I bought a skim board yard thing that I didn't even know existed until yesterday. But it was only $15 marked down from $60 and my DS learned to skim board this summer at the beach and has been begging me to go back to the ocean so he can do it more sicne it doesn't seem it would work right at the lake. Now, he'll be able to do it in the yard ! Yeah was he excited !
