Amazon, my new best friend!

Ok, for a while now Josh and I have been going back and forth trying to decide whether we should just spend the money and get a Kitchenaid. We had finally decided to wait, when out of the blue Josh turns to me and says, "We need to get a Kitchenaid, because I want to make cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning." Music to my ears! I already knew I wanted black, so we started looking to decide what model we wanted. Now my online shopping skills come into play. I looked on the websites of ANYONE I could think of that would sell Kitchenaids, and discovered Sears was having a sale. We went over Monday night after Heroes and they were already closed. Who closes at 9 during Christmas? So yesterday morning I got online and ordered it there, that way we were sure to get the sale price we were looking at. I received an e-mail a little while later saying my item was ready for pick-up. So when Mikaela got home from school I went to get it (didn't think I could carry a Kitchenaid and a baby, that'd be tricky). Turns out someone screwed up, and after a mess and trying to satisfy me (I knew what I wanted, and they didn't have it), I walked away with my money back. Devastated and frustrated I went back to my online shopping to find the next best deal. I was too angry to give them the satisfaction of having my money again.

Hello Amazon! Turns out on Tuesday they went on sale. $40 cheaper than Sears sale price, and I had purchased Christmas gifts from them for Josh recently, and was happy with their quick deliveries. We're talking over $100 less than the listed MSRP. I decided to pay $20 in shipping to get it a little faster, although free was an option. But with no tax and saving so much, I was all for it. So with any luck, I could have it by the end of the week, with extra cash in my pocket. Thanks Sears, for being so dumb and sending me back to my friend Amazon!
