This past week we got all signed up for various registries…Babies ‘R Us, Target, and Amazon.com. The Target one doesn’t have much stuff on it yet though ‘cuz we hadn’t visited the store yet. Links to each of them is on the left hand side. Just note that we’re not completely done so don’t go all crazy yet…
I caved and wanted a glider and ottoman. So poor Greg spent all Thursday tracking one down for me. The dude at the Lewisville BRU sent him all over the place and requested for the wrong ones to be put on hold at the other stores. *Sigh* So we drove all the way to the Addison store to pick up the glider Thursday night, only to find that it was the one with the sage colored cushion instead of the sand colored cushion. I don’t suppose it really matters all that much…but would’ve been nice to know what we were getting before we got there. BRU’s inventory system really needs a lot of help…nobody seems to be able to find anything. The manager at the Addison store said they didn’t have the sand colored one in stock at all. So we just ended up taking the sage colored one, and the manager gave us an additional 15% off of the regular price of the glider (there was a 20% off sale that ended Thursday night). So when it was all said and done, we got the glider for about $170 less than retail. Not too bad I s’pose. I went and picked up the matching ottoman today at the Hurst store before coming in to work (yes, I’m at work on a Saturday). Glider/ottoman saga is complete.
Today was also our community garage sale. Greg found a high chair, some toys, and a few books from our neighbors across the street…all for about $15.
) Wheeeeeeee.












wow! You guys got a great deal on that glider! Too bad you had to drive all over and the stores weren’t on top of things like they should be.
hahah! Sounds like Greg got some good finds at the garage sale.
I’m glad you are a few weeks ahead of us so we can kinda have a clue about what to do and start doing, I didnt even think about garage sales *duh*
