It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Monday Morning Blah-ghers!

First - an apology to Lyn for not having done a 'church sign' posting yesterday.

Lyn - we passed a church in Columbia yesterday and the sign said 'We're not Dairy Queen, but we have great Sundays!' I liked it. ;-)

Second - I have my new luggage, I am ready for my vacation! I bought it at Belks department store in Columbia. I had never been to a Belks before, but I saw in their Sunday flyer that luggage was on sale.

You just won't believe what I paid for it. It isn't a fancy name brand but it has those 360 degree 'spinner' wheels on it that help your luggage roll in any direction, and it's made of a durable material. Those two things are what I cared about.

I looked at 'nested' sets. I brought 2 sets to the register because we couldn't tell what the price was! One was a 4 or 5 piece red set from Regal, and the other was a 5 piece from Leisure. Both sets (it was my understanding) were on sale for $99.99, but I wasn't sure.

Anyway - Charlie rolled up one set and I rolled the other to the checkout place and I asked a nice (but no personality) young man to do a price check on them. The red set was on sale for $99, what I expected.

When he rang up the Leisure set (this set was the only Leisure brand at the display), he said 'This set is on sale for $30'. I said 'Are you sure?'

He acted like he was offended that I didn't believe him and turned the computer monitor toward me.

I said 'I'll take it!' and started fishing in my wallet to pay for it before he decided he'd made a mistake. He said it was a closeout and was on sale for 70% off.

AND for tax free weekend there wasn't any tax on it! I couldn't be happier.

TTFN!
