When we go through our Wachovia possibilities account ( or similar rewards sites) slowly scrolling the list of vendors, watching for those amazing bursts of little red font pointing out a bonus buy giving you free shipping, an additional 10% off even on clearance items, and 10 bonus points per dollar toward our Wachovia rewards program your heart starts racing.
A whole world that the current economic crisis effect on your bank account had barred you from is suddenly reopened. William-Sonoma Egyptian Cotton blend towels for 3.99-5.99, lands-end’s overstock store’s final clearance items are brought down an additional 10%, designer clothes for what you would have paid at target!
For those of us brought up on sales it is not just about looking fabulous it is about the hunt, the story that goes with the ensemble, insurance that if you happen to be caught wearing the same outfit as someone you know you paid a quarter as much.
Then when you finally get those new clothes in the mail, rip them from their protective plastic, slowly slide into them letting the coolest satin or softest cashmere touch your bare skin, admiring how the designer cut of it hugs your body in all the right places, you know you got an amazing deal.
