The last month...the home stretch
So after Betsy's last baby shower, we decided to go to Babies R Us to get the remainder of things from our registry. We got a coupon in the mail that would give us 10% off of the remaining stuff. While we were there, we also decided to buy a glider/recliner for the nursery. If we bought it that day, the matching ottoman/nursing stool would be free. To get an additional 10% off of it, we decided to add it to the registry before we checked out. They didn't have the chair and ottoman in stock so we had to order it. When we were checking out, the girl working the register was having some issues applying our discounts. First she couldn't get the ottoman to register as free. Once she fixed that, she couldn't get the 10% discount applied to the chair. A manager came over and told us to go to her register to fix the problem. It was at that point that Betsy realized that she had failed to use any of our gift cards when she paid. So she played her "pregnancy brain" card and asked the manager to void the whole transaction so we could pay for a good chunk of the stuff with the gift cards we had received. Right about then, Bill noticed a 20% off coupon on the bottom of the shopping cart under all of our stuff. So, we then had to ask the manager not to apply the original coupon to the furniture, but instead apply the new coupon. The ladies were so nice, and we felt so bad for the hassle we caused that Betsy offered to make the ladies cookies. Bill will drop them off tomorrow. Long story short though, we got a lot of stuff and saved a bundle on it.
