I tried to get them to buy some new furniture on the President's Day sale in February - but they couldn't afford it. So I have been saving like mad for the Memorial Day sale - because if I don't have cash to throw down for a purchase - I don't buy. I just hate to have bills on credit and I hate payments. I've learned a long time ago that it's cash or go without.
RC Willey had sales all last week for the Memorial Day weekend. I debated on waiting for the door busters - but knew Jason and Sharon would be happier with this type of couch then the door busters I purchase last year.
A dual reclining sofa or console love seat for $469.99. We went to the store and tried it out. It was nice, but the couch didn't have a console in the middle - it was only the love seat. However, they had another one on sale for $10 more that had the console, the dual reclining seats on the sofa - but another bonus - it massages. For $10 more we went with the massaging, console reclining sofa.
Then we were interested in a glider recliner for $249.99... It just happened that it was the recliner that went with the couch set we purchased above. I really like the glider action. Sold!
Next came the bed - $299.99... We went and laid on it and it was cheap -- you could feel every coil. The bed for $100 more was better. I asked the sales man if he knew what the door buster would be on Memorial day - if they had a bed and if it was better quality. He assured me they didn't and everything was already marked for the sale. This was the best deal - so we bought the bed for 399.99. Sold!
Of course as salesmen do - they lie... Sunday's ad for RC Willey had a bed as a door buster - A Queen pillow top mattress set with memory foam for $299.99 - save $400... To say I was a little miffed is an understatement. Oh well - our furniture was already delivered on Saturday and was a done deal...
I HATE LYING SALESMEN!!
Here is the new living room chair and sofa. (camera phone photo). The coffee table is my old one - a hand me down :-D.
Reclining sofa with console and massage - ahhhhhhh!
And the new bed that doesn't sink in the middle.
It is their birthday present - for the rest of their life (just kidding). I enjoy helping out my children - that is what parents are for right? It's nice to have the money saved for great sales.
On Sunday, Brady and I went over to their house for a barbecue and some Phase 10. It was a great day and nice to enjoy their new furniture. Yeah!
That is soooo not cool!!! But love all the stuff!!!
