I like savings

swehI had a voucher for Barnes and Noble which gave me 15% off anything I wanted. On top of my 10% members discount that'd be a nice saving. I'd been looking for some time at Star Trek TOS but at $342 (Amazon price and B&N price) it was a bit much... but with 23.5% off it was a bit more reasonable at $262. Still a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I didn't think I'd get much better.
The voucher runs out on Sunday, so at lunch time I went to the B&N close to the office.
And they didn't have it.
But they did have the 3 series individually, at $130 each.
$390, and I'd only get the 15% on one of them.
Ugh.
BUT.
They had a buy two get one free offer on anything in the store. Oh!
So, Original cost: 3 @ $130 == $390
Buy two, get one free, so now $260 (saving $130)
They were marked as 10% off, so now $234 (saving $156)
I then used the 15% voucher on one (reducing it to $99.45) so now $216.45 (saving $173.55)
And then I used my B&N card for another 10% off, so the total was $194.79 (saving $195.21)
I like savings!
[ EDIT: Ok, the numbers are a few cents out, because really it was $129.99 and not $130; shuddup ]
