Ten Dollars...??


The deal of a lifetime! As Teddy and I strolled the rows at the Baer's once-a-year warehouse sale this past Saturday looking for a new couch, we stumbled upon this table. "Ahh..this is the table of my dreams" I said, reminded me of North Carolina, Scrubby's BBQ and Teddy's Grandma's house all in one! We stopped and looked at it for a second, there were about 8 of the same tables in the section, all with SOLD tags on them, except this one. The price read $1700.00, knowing that the sale was 60-90% off we knew it still had to be atleast 300-400 dollars. We waived down a sales associate and asked her 'How much is this table?' She walked over to a few of the sold tables to double check and came back with the response 'ten dollars'; Teddy: 'reaching for his wallet to whip out a ten dollar bill!' Teresa: 'Ummm...we'll take it' Wait, whats the catch we asked? No catch, except that it doesn't come with chairs, but the table is ten dollars!!!! It was the last one and it was ours!!! We looked all over for chairs and finally found the two head chairs, not as cheap, but still a steal at $29.00 each! The following day I headed out to American Signature in sawgrass and found the final touch, two absolutely perfect benches that look like they were made for this table! The final price tag, $360.00 for the 'table of my dreams!'

Three things learned:
1. We went in for a couch and came out with a new dining room table set.
2. We now have a table that sits 8...mmm...time to make babies?! HA!
3. A table for ten dollars, seriously, just give me the dang thing...

5 days till Italy,

When you get deals like that you just have to tell the whole world! :)
