It pays to shop around.

.

My husband couldn’t understand why I wanted to visit sooo many different furniture stores. We’d picked out the style of couches….

.

.

And the matching chair and ottoman.

.

.

I’d even decided on the fabrics.

.

.

But the price quotes were all over the place.

.

.

That’s a considerable difference, and surprising because the highest quote came from the large chain store that constantly crows about its low prices.

And just when my (very patient) husband was crying uncle and telling me to “buy something already!”….

I found an even lower price for the exact same thing.

.

.

From $7,775 to $5,798.

A savings of $1,977.

Yay me.

Less money and the satisfaction of supporting a small business that’s been in the same family for over 100 years.

That’s what I call a win win.

Free delivery in 6-8 weeks.

  1. Never believe it when a store says their prices or some other thing is best value. That’s marketing ploy, as you’ve discovered. Except maybe Bunnings, but I don’t think they have any competition any more, another reason shopping locally is worth it.
