One restless evening soon after I got my ultra comfy bed, I flipped through the pages of Costco Connection magazine. About a third way through I discovered a full page ad on a product that I was very familiar with. It was my ultra comfy bed. $100 off the price I had paid.
Apparently my bed when on sale 48 hours after I purchased it. The kicker was the sale period ended one day prior to me reading the ad. After a brief moment of shock, I tore the ad out of the maggy for future reference - when I would be more coherent (as it was the middle of the night).
The next day I called Costco and spoke with a manager. In the end the manager left a costco gift card in the amount of $100 for me to pick up. Since the promo came from the product manufacturer and the sale was over, Costco did me a favor and absorbed the cost. I'm sure this was an isolated event and I am so thankful.
When I picked up the gift card I thought it only fitting to buy some things for Rudy. I got some perfume free detergent, a big box of 900 diaper wipes (these should last a month), some thank you candy gifts for people coming to my next shower, and a few pairs of baby clothes for Rudy.
Costco really is the gift that keeps on giving. I love Costco.
So how many baby showers have you had now?
ReplyDeleteThree. I should blog about them this week. Good times & good stuff.
ReplyDeleteOn baby clothes:
ReplyDeleteYou really don't need as much as you think you will as long as you have an available washing machine. I really like to look at all the cute outfits with matching coats and booties in the stores, but in reality, unless you are very busy and running around a lot, he won't be wearing them. At home, the most comfy and convenient thing he can wear for the first 3 months is a gown with the open bottom. After that, footy sleepers and onesies. And please, don't waste your money on shoes until he actually starts walking.
