Dollar Days where........at Lowes!

On Wednesday, after my surgery Mom and I stopped to grab something to eat as I was to nervous to do so prior to the event. We went to Chick-fil-a one of my favorites and I said "Hey after lunch do you want to ride by Lowes to look at the plants?" I figured this would be my only chance to "get out" over the next few days due to the giant size Frankenstein body work on my shoulder and since I was still numb from my neck down, I knew pain would not be an issue.

We jotted over to Lowes garden section, which was brimming with people. As we entered into the gates, I over heard two customers conversing about .50cent calla lilies. Little did I know that was just the "tip" of the iceberg so to speak. I asked the garden manager where I could locate some of those lilies at which time he told me that he was scheduled to receive (8) trucks on Friday and everything was slashed to go! All perennials were 50% off, and there was a plethora of plants, which were marked $1.00 to include English sage, purple and white salvia, Shasta daisies, tickseed, lobelia, cat mint etc. The wave petunias both single and double in the 2qt buckets were .50cents a piece, yep you heard me right .50 cents....BOOYAH what a score!

I found the yellow lantana I needed to plant in my flowerbeds by the driveway and mailbox at 50% off, and every perennial I needed to complete our perennial bed as well as a stock of plants to plant our wire hanging baskets and pots for our new patio.

I tell you a happier group of women could not be found at least not in our town. It made you laugh when you heard one customer say to another "look at my cart, see all these plants I have only spent $18.00! You can't go to Wal-Mart and get these types of plants for $18.00". No you can not. So upon leaving I placed some calls to our neighbors to spread the word about the "Great Dollar Day Sale" at Lowes. Several jumped in their cars to head that direction and as to be expected by the next day all was gone. Just goes to prove a great dollar sale and women with a mobile phone equals "sold out event"!

Moving on up!

Twelve years ago we purchased the "state of the art" (insert laughter here) GE Profile when we moved in to our new home. You know the look...top mount freezer, larger refrigerator area (maybe 19.0 cu ft) and don't let me forget the light in the freezer section.

I never thought it would be possible to get so excited over an appliance, but I am! On Tuesday, Lowes will deliver our new stainless steel 29.0 cubic foot french door refrigerator and not a moment to soon I might add.

Now, we have been in "need" of a new refrigerator for sometime. Over stocking of the freezer resulted in a crack in the freezer tray, which over time let the cold out of the top but did a fine job of freezing "EVERYTHING" on our top shelf in the refrigerator section. Have you ever attempted to cook frozen eggs or eat frozen cottage cheese...get my point?

A few weeks back, my mom, daughter and I were strolling through Lowes. We did what we always do and took a walk down the new appliance aisle. Little did we know this trip would not be like the others, as ole' eagle eye spotted a sale on the Samsung appliances.

They were discounted 20% if over $300.00. In addition, we recently learned an additional discount tip Lowes has tried to keep "secret". If you tell them you are active duty military or retired military they will discount your purchases an additional 10%. Now, you have to ask for it, they are not about to volunteer the information to you, but get this it is applicable to any purchase to include special orders...BOOYAH! Suffice it to say we scored big, and after a quick call to my significant other presently located across the pond, all the necessary approvals were received and a purchase was made!

So, after all our discounts, taxes, plus the additional of the extended warranty plan,which I highly recommend we saved over $1500.00 - Score! So check out the pictures of our new mack daddy refrigerator....we can hardly wait to start filling it!
