Bathroom Fixtures and Budgets

Last night Evan and I met our contractor at Home Depot for some bathroom shopping.  Side note: I borrowed our work truck which is a Chevy Silverado 3500 and I felt the other men at home depot worrying about their shrinking penises while comparing their trucks to mine (Evan said I shouldn't be thinking about other men's penises), but I digress.

Anyways, we were shopping for shower fixtures after already picking out the faucet for our sink and we were debating whether we needed the shower fixtures to match the sink faucet.  Evan had the opinion that yes, it should, but I was looking at the price of $185 and thinking "ummmm... if we just go with the same finish I'll be happy".  But I conceded to Evan since being a designer, he has a better eye for these things and we chose the matching set, which was the last box on the shelf!

At check out, the cashier called the manager over and they began discussing our shower set, I noticed a yellow sticker on the side of the box and pointed it out to Evan, they set was on sale for $120!  We rejoiced at the $70 we were saving.  However, once the manager walked away, the cashier told us that actually?  The shower kit had been discontinued and rang up in the system as $40.  FORTY DOLLARS.   Hello $145 cheaper than we expected!

That my friends, is how you stay on budget.
