I just wanted to share a GREAT deal I just got from Pottery Barn for Lulu. We're giving her a kitchen and all the accessories for Christmas and I've been scrounging thrift shops and goodwill and practically anywhere for all the dishes and food - in addition to all the felt food I've been making over the past year.
My hubby (after a Bed, Bath and Beyond towel fiasco) got us Pottery Barn towels. We liked them, so he went and bought a full set - of course, adding a new credit card to our repitoire. Which, initially, I wasn't so happy about the card, but... you got a free $25 for every $250 you spent on the card, and we got that on our first statement. Then, we got this great little save $25 on any $50 order with your card coupon in the mail several weeks later. I saved both. I don't think you're supposed to be able to use both at the same time, but I tried it right before our cruise, just to test it. Online, both went through in the same transaction. Well, I did not order at that time. I wanted to keep looking. So, today (is the last day to use one of the coupons) I finally placed my order. This is what it looked like.
This is the veggie set - all wood with velcro connections so the kiddos can "cut" it apart with the knife (included). It includes: 'a Watermelon, Tomato, Bread Loaf Slices, Cucumber, Carrot, Pepper, Avocado, Knife, Cutting Board and Crate.' It retails at $24.00.
I also got this set:
Again, all wood with velcro attachments. This set includes:
a Strawberry, Orange, Lemon, Cantaloupe, Pear, Banana, Kiwi, Knife and Crate.
It retails at $24.00.
So the subtotal was $48, then add $3.96 tax. Shipping was free for these items. The "trick" to this "treat" is the credits go on your next statement, so we will carry the $51.96 on the card for a month, and probably pay a couple of dollars in interest. However, after our $50 savings, we only owe $1.96 for BOTH sets!! And if we have to pay the couple of bucks for the interest, then it's about $4 for both sets - still a STEAL!! Merry Christmas Lulu!!
Thank you Pottery Barn for the "almost free" goodies!! They will be arriving at my house in 5-7 business days - and will likely beat me there, as I am keeping my neice, Lola, for the next couple of weeks. I love when Christmas gifts come together BEFORE December! WOOHOO!
What great deals have you come across lately?
Blessings,
*SUMMER*
