$4.98???

What can you get with $4.98 in these days? A couple gallons of gas? A grande raspberry mocha from Starbucks (my fav drink)? How about two nice framed art pieces for $4.98? You are probably shaking your head and wondering what in the world am I talking about. Well, the other day I went to Target to get Izzy a bathing suit for this summer (her first one ever, how exciting!). As I was walking through the store, I came across the "clearance" shelf. I could just hear Rene's voice telling me "best quality, low price." I started to rummage through the things, I found some real interesting decorating things, but not my taste. I walked away only to come back to the same clearance shelf again. I often do this and this is why I spend way to much time at one store. This time, I noticed two framed art work at the top of the shelf. I brought one down and liked it right away. I brought the other one down and it was a matching piece! I looked for the price tag and it didn't have one. I took it to the price check scanning post and it said "item not found." That's funny, the frames had a bar code and everything. I wonder how much they were, after all, they were in the clearance shelf so they must be low price. I asked one of the employees what the price was. He scanned it in and he got the same message as I did. He went to ask the manager what the price was and if they were even selling the items. While he was gone, I was thinking of what the price would be. I was hoping it would be $10.00 and kept reassuring myself that if they were that price I would take them. He came back and told me that they were $4.98! He had a heavy accent so, I asked him if it was $49.98. He sort of annoyingly replied "no, $4.98, do you want to take them or not?" Of course I want them, for that price I'll buy them both! I told him.

I was so excited! $4.98, wow! I had to tell someone, so I called Sarah and shared my shopping bargain. $4.98, who would've thought!
