Part of that set up included finding these glasses that held my favorite cocktail (raspberry infused vodka, muddled strawberries and peach puree).
When we got back to the states, I headed over to my go-to internet site Amazon and ordered 6 glasses for $38.68. The first box came shattered, but Amazon was great about sending another box free of charge in less than 48 hours.
We were able to salvage 2 glasses from the broken box, so I was pretty happy about getting 8 for the price of 6.
As you might have guessed from the title, I was happy with my purchase until mom and I went shopping this past weekend. I found myself walking around Ross looking for anything to jump out at me when I stumbled upon this.
Why yes, those are our glasses 4 for $5.99! I even checked my old orders in my email to see if it was the same maker. It was. I could barely get any words out before mom had snapped them up and put them in her cart. They only had one box, so we walked next door to Home Goods where she found another box (this time for 6.99).
Mom keeps calling it the deal of the weekend, all I can think is that I could have saved $24 if I had just shopped around. You better believe I'll be checking out Ross and Home Goods before making any other home purchases! Since our glasses are packed and in storage, we decided to break in mom's glasses with the wine smoothies that we picked up in San Antonio.
Delicious!!
Have you ever purchased something only to find it later at a lower price?
I hate it when that happens! Ross and HomeGoods always have the best prices on glasses!!!
ReplyDeleteoh that raspberry cocktail looks delicious! and you still got a great deal on the glasses!
ReplyDeleteOh it was!! I can't wait to try and recreate it.
DeleteI hate when that happens, too! Amazon is usually my go-to, as well, because they typically have great prices. So I'll learn from your lesson, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no! I would hate for that to happen to me. It probably already has though, since I find it so much easier usually to just shop online!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Ross here, but we do have Home Goods and Marshalls and they have the BEST deals in glasses and etc. Sorry to hear that happened, but $24 isn't that big of a mistake and the lesson learned will save you lots in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! It's not too bad, just stinks that I could have saved that money.
DeleteI hate when that happens too :P but at least you have lots of glasses now!
