Be Patient

In my last post I mentioned that I'm looking for a chair. I'm actually looking for two different chairs, one for our bedroom and one for the living room. Last year we purchased new living room furniture. While shopping for furniture, I found an armless chair that I really liked! However, the $700 cost for the chair, was more than we wanted to spend and it wasn't a necessity for our living room.

Well, last week I happened to "stop by" our local furniture store. WARNING - this could be a dangerous thing to do!! They just happened to still have that armless chair that I had my eye on. The price was marked down to a savings of $350! Still, more than I wanted to spend. I asked the sales guy, if that was their best price. He told me $299! I told him, "I'll need to talk with my husband!" We discussed it and it was still more money than we wanted to spend!

So, what is a girl to do? Check Craigslist!! I couldn't believe it, but just two days later I found an add on Craigslist for the same chair!! Guess what was sold the following day? One armless chair for a great savings!!! I'm so glad I waited!!!



You better believe that I'm continuing to check Craigslist for great deals! Who knows what I will find next!

That is the best story ever! I love Craig's List and now I want to go search for a chair just like yours! :)
