I Had To Do It

Let me preface this by saying I had no choice.  My hands were tied and I was manipulated into doing this.  This was not a frugal nor a thrifty purchase, but it had to be done.

Last night I bought this chair from Pier 1.  It is their Sigourney chair. 

 

I fell in love with this chair when I first saw it.  It was $499.00.  It then went on clearance for $399.00 {yeah, I know; I don’t consider that clearance either}.  I was going to wait until the price came down a bit more and then go for it.

But ~ I got one of those Pier 1 sale emails Thursday.  I went into the Pier 1 website and, while there thought, “let me see if the price on that chair has come down any”.   I could not find the chair online.  I refreshed the screen and tried again.  No Sigourney chair was coming up!  It was gone!  Panic set in!

I stopped in at my closest Pier 1 late yesterday afternoon and can you believe it, “I just put our last one on hold for someone else a half hour ago”.  A half hour!  I missed it by a half hour!  No.  Not good. 

Since we planned to go out to dinner near the next closest Pier 1, I called ahead to see if they still had one.  They did!  One left. On the floor.  Did I want to put it on “Hold”?  Yes!!!  Yes, put it on “Hold”!

While there is a part of me feeling a bit of self-loathing for caving and buying it at the “clearance” price, there was no waiting for it to come down any further in price.  I had to do it.  I love this chair!
