Amazing

The other day, the most amazing thing happened. My amazing husband bought a coat. Not so amazing sounding, but wait, it gets better. 

For years he's been saying he needs a new coat. It's ancient and falling apart. Fair enough. This year he decided to go through with it. About a week ago, when stores were having their winter clothes on clearance he made his move. He went on the Cabella's website (a brand known for its durability and would have styles he likes). My husband hates shopping, has very conservative / boring taste in clothes, is very rough / messy on clothes, and doesn't mind or notice if its ripped or stained. Plus, he's a big guy and it's hard to find clothes that both fit and he likes.

Anyhoo, he sees a $250 coat that's on sale for $99. Then goes through shopathome.com for an additional 8% savings. But it gets better, he does a search and finds that raise.com is selling gift cards for 10% off.  So in the end, he gets this $250 coat with free shipping and no tax for about $80.  AMAZING!!

I left out the part that when we we first met he was in debt (just a little) and refused to return anything. He is still motivated by convenience over saving.  But man-o-man look how far he's come.  So proud!!
