Oh, How I So Want This Desk…

Filed in Posts by Serena Appiah on May 14, 2012 • 4 Comments

I am standing here at the thrift store and I see this beauty, in all its perfection, for a whopping $124. Do I buy it today, full price? Or do I wait until tomorrow morning when Mondays are 25% off?

It’s in pristine condition, and I am sure the price is scaring people off. But this thing is solid wood and sooooo pretty. What would YOU do??

Sincerely,

A mom who’s celebrating Mother’s Day at the thrift store, watching my kids play with used toys! Ha!

Okay, so the decision was to walk away (begrudgingly, that is), and then go back tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. when they open, and buy it then. Mondays are 25% off Customer Appreciation days, so I’ll save $30….Just hope it’s there!

Funny to read these comments now that you got it at such a great discount. You would have been KICKING yourself if you would have bought it Sunday!
