Impulse Buy

As an accountant, and considering the fact that I'm a fairly conservative risk-averse accountant, I don't make too many impulse purchases (at least big ones. Clothes don't count :) We felt like we made one tonight though. It actually wasn't REALLY an impulse buy since I had been looking at couches for months, but we didn't exactly plan on buying one today. Nate was skiing, and I decided to go look at a couch I had seen on Craigslist, then went to the RC Willey Clearance and Scratch & Dent Outlet. When I got home, I was in a couch-buying mood and looked at RC Willey's website so I could show Nate one of the couches I had seen. While there, I checked the weekly ad and found a pretty good deal on a couch that appeared to be what I've been looking for (50% off) so I talked Nate into going to RC Willey when he got home...and this is what we came home with! OK, so we really didn't come home with it. That's the best part though! We got the couch and matching loveseat (both 1/2 off) and they'll keep it at the warehouse for us until our house is done, so we don't have to store it in the middle of our kitchen until then! (that's about the only floor space left in our apartment).

The couch looks great! And it's awesome that they'll store it for you, not to mention the great sale you got on it.
