Can't Pass Up A Good Deal?
So, we needed a heater of some sort for Caci's room, because when we did the addition, her return air vent was blocked up. So in these last few mornings, we have noticed how utterly cold it has been in her room.Jeff remembered how Home Depot had these cute electric fire-places that were heaters, and that there was a small white one, and it was on sale for $348. So , we decided to get it. And guess what? It was on clearance for $198.
Got it!
Done!
Then he looked at a huge one that was cherry with black granite. Jeff asked the salesman how much that was. It was originally $798, marked down to $648, then $348. So he decided to take that one too for wither the dining room or the master bedroom. Now- here is the good part. The salesman said that the floor model was the last one. Jeff noticed some nicks and dings to it, so he asked if they would discount it at all. He was hoping for 10% off. He was stunned and couldn't pay for it fast enough when he told him that the store manager said to take $150 off. So it was the same price at Caci's! He definitely could not pass that deal up!!!
Wow!
Here they are in all their glory!
BTW - the top two pictures are of Caci's!

Black Friday.
Well, there are only 4 weeks left until Black Friday.You know, the day after Thanksgiving - like, the busiest shopping day of the year! The day with all of the blockbuster sales.
I have made my way out at 5:00 AM (back by 8:00) on Black Friday for the past few years. And I can't decide whether to do it again.
Was it worth it in the past?
I think last year was a good one. I got an HP desktop computer for Doodles for $399 and 2 plasma TVs for $999 each. But I missed out on the HP laptop - the thing I really wanted for Justy - and almost got trampled to death trying to get one. I ended up ordering him a Dell later that day, as they were having huge online special. But I don't remember any of the other years being that spectacular.
I may just have to wait until all of the lists come out. A quick search on Google early that week should expose at least some of the deals.
Geez - I haven't even thought of anything so special that the kiddos want this year anyway.
They all have computers, and no extraordinary game systems have come out.
Hmmm - I better think about this.
Will it be worth it to lose precious sleep to save a few bucks? I suppose if there are any big ticket items that I can save on.
Like, really save!
