This count clothing

One, two, three strikes.

This weekend Wendy, Joy, and I visited Wendy's parents. It was one of the few weekends in a long time that her parents did not have abut four functions to attend while we were there.

Saturday Wendy wanted to get a haircut. So we left Joy with Granma and Papa. Wendy was also aware of a sale at a discount children's store. It was a promotion that you could pay 10 dollars for a plastic bag filled with clearance items. Sounds good right? Wendy envisioned lots of great deals. We got to the store around 11 am. It was pretty crowded. A few people were walking around with their bags full. The clerk enthusiastically asks us were we here for the deal. She says that the clearance item are the ones with a red line on the price tag We look through the racks. However, we do not find any items with the red line. Wendy asks a fellow shopper where the items are. The person responds there are sections in the store specifically and a few items mixed in the rest of the inventory. Wendy was looking for sleepers for Joy. Unfortunately, the selection of sleepers is not on clearance. So the good deal is not a deal for us. Wendy had the right point that this store did not have the sufficient amount of items marked clearance to carry out a sale like that. It was supposed to last from 10 am to the end of the day. We, like I said, arrived at 11 and there appeared to be nothing left.

The we go to another store where Wendy had a deal where she could spend 10 dollars and get 20 dollars worth of merchandise. Here we faced another strike out. The selection of baby clothes was not worth it. The only sleeper in the store, not a holiday theme, was over priced.

So we venture to one more store. Wendy wanted to see if this store had any dresses for her she could get for cheap. She did not find anything that peaked her interest. We went over to the baby section, just to look. Buried in other items were a two pack of sleepers. Sure they are the color blue, but that is fine.

Wendy is pretty persistent in looking for deals. It is hard to find a good deal when the selection is not what you want. She will even look through dust bunnies one by one, if there is a chance for a deal. I will fly through them and say that I looked.
