Paint Samples

So Andrew and I ventured out to LOWES yesterday to look at paint samples. When we got in the store, he abandoned me for the grill section and, of course, found one that he decided he just couldn't live without. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't the most expensive one on display...quite the opposite, it was a great deal! $179.00 for a stainless steel charcoal grill that was just the right size for our deck. At this point my inner shopper came out and I was intrigued, so I asked the an employee to tell us a little more about it. After going through everything there was to know about the grill, I was sold...however, Andrew said he wanted to think about it. We walked around the store and got the paint samples we had come for (btw: the little cans you can buy now for $2.97 to test out the paint are, in my opinion, the best thing since sliced bread!) After we got the samples we went back over to look at the grill again...at this point Andrew decides he doesn't want it!!! Now I'm trying to convince him that it's just what we need and we won't find it at a better price. In the end, we walked out of Lowes with only the paint samples in hand...It just goes to show how different men and women are. I've been known to buy thinks I don't even have a place for just because they're on sale, and he won't take the deal on something we actually need...typical!

**I'm thinking about going back and buying the grill as a housewarming present...I just can't pass up the sale!!

  1. I'm soooo glad you finally started a blog chicka! I'm also equally glad I don't go shopping too often with you - I'd be broke! I can just hear you now "Oh Jaryn, that dress looks fabulous on you! You should get it, it's 15% OFF!!!!"
