I've got your price override right here.

Now that we have a Sam's Club membership we find ourselves wandering over there mid week just for a little entertainment and to see if there's anything we "forgot" on our grocery list. This week we ran in on a Tuesday for Crest White Strips.

Coffee for me used to just be a Saturday morning indulgence, but this past year I've found myself getting out of bed, putting on my fuzzy slipper socks, wandering downstairs and, while half asleep, making the coffee pot produce an ugly ugly drug that I've now (gasp!) become addicted to. For this reason, my teeth are changing from a nice pearly white to, well, not so pearly white.

But I digress. So we walked in on a random Tuesday solely for white strips. But let's be honest, you can't just walk in and out of Sam's without perusing the electronic aisles, or, you can't if you're my husband, at least. Keep in mind, we didn't NEED anything other than the white strips. After about fifteen minutes of me at the jewelry counter and Ben in electronics, we finally met up in the discount aisle. The aisle where tvs, monitors, speakers, have been returned, have damaged boxes, been refurbished, or are older models, etc... Always a good deal to be had if there is a sucker to take the bait. Ben and I found a 26" LCD Vizio on sale for $200 bucks. We looked at each other, shrugged our shoulders and said...what a deal. Our current bedroom tv DOES need to be updated. It's a 19 inch monstrosity from college... soo, it would be silly to pass on this, right?

We are normally the type of consumers that faithfully read consumer reports and base most major purchase decisions off of their ratings. Well, with a quick google search on Ben's blackberry, we saw one 4.1 out of 5 rating and that Amazon was selling them for $350 bucks so we bascially just decided we'd hit the jackpot!

But like responsible consumers, we didn't want to rush things. We decided to continue our walk around the store and then, if we came back and it was still there it was meant to be, if not, then so be it. The next stop was the clearance section in the back of the store. Guess what was spewed all over the shelves with $10 bucks marked off because of damaged boxes? Crest White Strips!! Score!!! This WAS meant to be. We grabbed the only item on our shopping list and, to again not seem too eager about the TV purchase, we walked briskly the long way back to the electronics section. It was still there! SOLD!

After walking out, I asked Ben if he had buyer's remorse, that would be a negative. I hooked it up, and we watched house hunters from bed. Not a bad Tuesday.
