As
you may know, my baby graduated. I will be posting about that as soon as we
make it through the party. But I just had to post about our tie deal of the
century. For our oldest daughter’s graduation, Sweet Man, got a matching tie
with school colors. Seeing as he does not wear a suit very often, he has a
limited (probably 3) supply of ties. He does have 2 really nice suits, but
I am thinking that wearing a suit for a man who does not normally
wear one, is like women wearing pantyhose, not going to happen often.
We were out and about for dinner and a movie, using some awesome gift
cards we received for our 25th wedding anniversary, when I saw a
Jos. A. Bank and said, oh let’s go in there and find a tie for our baby's graduation. 18 is still baby right? Especially if she is your last :(
They had a pretty decent selection,
and those selections also had a pretty decent price :/
As we were leaving the store, Sweet
Man spotted the clearance section (have I trained him right or what?). There
was a basket on top with a hand full of ties. Our graduate said “this one is pretty”. It was gold with blue
and maroon dots (which happen to be her school colors). I was like "it is pretty"!! I do not think ties are suppose to
be pretty, but it was pretty.
There was no price and the other ties in the
basket were marked down to $29.99 and $39.99. So I asked the sales associate
how much the clearance price was, he got to the computer and said “oh, you are
going to want this tie”. I am wondering how much I wanted the tie. He said I
have never seen a tie this low here before. It was…. Drum Roll….. $7.49!! Yep,
$7.49!!! Our tie searching was over before it even started. Since there was no price at all, I said, “just
curious, how much is the reg price?” He replied, well this is from our
Signature Collection, so it is reg $89.99. Now at my calculations that is
91.68% off, how does that calculation even come to play? Well no matter, how
(um, God), we got this awesome tie at 91.68% off regular price!!!!
Tie Steal, I mean Deal of the year! |
Now as we were walking away from the
store, I told Sweet Man, "I gotta get a picture of you wearing the tie." He says
with a smile “just the tie”. I saved that picture for ME. But here is my
handsome man making that tie look like the FULL price of $89.99…..
He makes that tie look like we paid $89.99!! |
Peace, Love and EnJoy
