It seems strange to say, because one of my favorite things is to save money. On the other hand, I'm in a business where sales are a regular event (Presidents Day, Vice Presidents Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Step Child Day). My rule of thumb is that no one sells something unless they can make a profit on it. So, if a company can offer me the item on sale last week (and make a profit), then they should be able to give me the same price this week.
We're having a sale. 50% off on selected items. From February 1 through the 14th. Furniture Works is having its annual sale. So how do I reconcile my opinions above with having a sale? I'll be blunt. Sometimes I buy something that doesn't sell (at least not as soon as I want it to). That means I've invested money in it, but it is still sitting on the floor. So the purpose of our sale is for me to get back some the money I paid for the item so I can go out and buy something that will sell better. My intent is to make most of my money back (yes, I'll be losing money on some of these items), so you'll find some greate pieces in this group.
It is a great opportunity for you and I hope you take advantage of it. Just don't expect me to be happy about it.
