This is a post script to my post "The Lengths to Which We'll Go, aka My Thanksgiving",
about the lengths to which we'll go for our soaping addiction.
Last Wednesday night-Thursday/Thanksgiving morning when I was trying to purchase crock pots on sale online from a big box store's Black Friday sale ad and was foiled immediately by the "out of stock" message, a lot of ideas went through my head. My fingers flew and I had many windows open on the laptop, searching different sale ads and websites, and stayed up until 3 AM EST frequently re-checking in case the box store re-stocked their online inventory.
So in the hustle and bustle of the holiday, my first Black Friday shopping event, lack of sleep, disappointment, etc, I did something that I forgot until I received an email yesterday.
One of my ideas had been to go ahead and order some other sale crock pots that weren't at as good a price as the ones just under $10. They were $14.99, although still 5 quarts. Not being sure my husband would agree to go to the box store with me to shop for Black Friday crock pots, I contemplated ordering the $14.99 ones, just in case.
Remember that I said in my previous post that I had gone online and set up my account well ahead of the sale time? The items were in my cart, just waiting for the sale price to take effect so I could check out quickly.
Apparently at some point during those late-night hours when my husband was asleep and blissfully ignorant of my efforts to save us money and hassle, I went ahead and ordered some at the $14.99 price. Which I totally forgot about until I received the email notifying me that part of my order has shipped.
Oops! Looks like I'll be returning some $14.99 crock pots, lol. It is free shipping on orders over $49 so at least I won't have paid shipping on them.
