Our new "Dave Ramsey" furniture! What a deal! We have been looking at patio furniture for a few months now, but couldn't bear to spend all that $$$. Last weekend, we almost bought a table w/ 4 chairs (no umbrella) for about $120, but neither of us were really excited. So we didn't! We said NO! Then, last Saturday after class, we went around to garage sales. The first one had the below set (WITH umbrella) that they had on sale for $50. It was UNopened from target, listed as $130. During our Dave Ramsey class, we learned about haggling techniques that we wanted to try. We walked up and offered $40. The gentlemen we were speaking with went back and talked to the women who seemed to be running the sale. She said they wouldn't take less than $50. So we got in the car and started to drive away. When we passed the house, the fellow yelled $45 - but we said no... only $40! We drove to other garage sales but didn't really find anything. So, on a whim we went back to the first sale, took all of our cash out of Shaw's wallet except two twenties. Maureen stayed in the car when Shaw went up to talk. Again Shaw offered $40, telling them that that was all he had on me, and said that he would walk away. Eventually - we got it for $40~!!!!!! $130 patio furniture for $40! What a steal! Thank you Dave!
A sampler pack of IPAs... woohoo! Tried the one on the far right tonight... from Wisconsin.
Not bad.
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!
Nice selection of beer & GREAT haggling skills! You made your dad proud! I love the patio set. Too bad KS has BUGS. Loved the cardinals too. Really love the feeder you have set up. Maybe they'll eat your KS bugs too.
