There's something insanely satisfying about getting an exceedingly good deal on something. The feeling that though you have been known to run amok with your credit card on occasion you still have the ability to be frugal...a definite inner glow of satisfaction is attained.

Today's glow came courtesy of Anthropologie (which I actually only went in to to kill some time and warm up). Though I've cooled off on their clothes recently I do like their household goods with their eclectic country house vibe...and the sign saying "additional 40% off" was like one of those rocks which lured sailors to their doom. The end result? I left the store much warmer...with two over-sized melamine platters...and only $2.56 poorer.
