Be fore~warned, I'm on a money saving kick again today...
So a while ago, I created a baby registry at a higher end store. I figured since I would not need many things, I could splurge on certain other purchases. I was not expecting anyone to shop off of the registry for me, but I made it more to keep myself organized as I chipped away at buying the things that I wanted. Then one day, while browsing the internet for a coupon code for free shipping on an order I was placing, I came across a comment refering to a 10% discount on registry items from the store I had registerd with...
As it turned out, there was a discount for buying the remainder of the registry items after the event date. But, I also found a small statement saying that a discount would also be offered when 2 or more coordinating items of furniture or beddign were purchased!! Hello! Well, after a few calls, I managed to get my discount! It was well worth it to take the time and make the call. With the economy being the way it is, no store is looking to upset it's customers. I think many people would have just written this off, thinking, "Oh well"...not me!
So whether you are dealing with a store or an insurance company, hang tough. The worst that can happen is that you get a No for an answer. But every now and again you will be victorious and you time and effort will pay off. What a great lesson for children to see as well...that when you go the extra mile and stand up for yourself adn what is right, sometimes things work out the way they are supposed to!
