Home Entertainment ...

We have wanted to upgrade our TV for the longest time and dreamed of a built in entertainment center for our bump out. We have been browsing the sales here and there hoping for a deal. We were very specific in what we wanted, so it took some patients. The other day we were at Ashley down by the spagetti bowl and they had exactly what we wanted, but they were discontinuing the model and the floor model was already sold. Just my luck! We asked the sales man if the Ashley by our house still had their floor model, but he said no. We were on our way to Costco and Justin said lets just check our Ashleys. Low and Behold! They had the discontinued entertainment center and it wasn't sold! Plus it was $200 cheaper than the sale price at the other locatin. Thank goodness for Gene, we called him and he was there in a half an hour to help us take it right home.

Next was we had to find a TV. We checked Costco, Best Buy, and said why not try our luck at Walmart since it was right there. No deals until we walked out and I eyed an alone TV box. 55inch with all the bells and whistles. We asked why it was so cheap and only one left, The lady said that it was left over from the Christmas sales and they wanted to get rid of it. Score for us!

In the end we only spent about 2/3 of our budget that we had saved up overall. Feels good. Now I get to decorate all the shelving with all of our savings. Let me see ... new picture frames, candles, o my!
